China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 467 Dark clouds over the city! Guan Ling is nowhere to be seen!
"The annual horror blockbuster "Far Cry" will be released worldwide on July 7! Anyone who goes to the island will be killed!"

"Yang Mi, starring Chen Xiaochun, on July 7, the horror is coming!"

"Guan Ling's "Hot Girl" actress Yang Mi is on the big screen. This summer, let's scream with Yang Mi!"

"The second national youth thriller blockbuster "Far Cry" is about to be released!"

The bloody lips and terrified eyes became the hotly discussed clips by countless people online throughout early July.

But it’s a pity that although during the promotion, people have been calling for Yang Mi’s extraordinary ferocity.

However, in the advance version of the trailer, probably to prevent the audience from masturbating in advance, there is only a short two-minute clip in the trailer and poster.

Most of them were specifically shots of boats and the sea, with a few showing off bikinis and white skin, but it was not clear whether it was Yang Mi or not.

Occasionally, Yang Mi's face was revealed, but she was wearing a black suspender and nothing could be seen clearly.

This is obviously intended to empty everyone's wallets. If the money is not taken out, it will not be shown to everyone.

The audience was quite angry.
But even so, the trailer of this movie still caused quite a stir in early July.

The advance trailer of "Far Cry" left the most profound impression on people.

Nothing is more outstanding than the superb acting skills contributed by Yang Mi in it.

His hair was disheveled and his eyes were wide open.

What was reflected in Yang Mi's eyes was her absolute fear!
The cans, corpses, thunder, lights, and tremors on the mottled island gathered in the entire picture. Yang Mi's sudden turn and sudden raising of her head several times made people feel shocked.

Yang Mi is such a beautiful person, but the camera still captured her looking like neither human nor ghost. The whole promotional picture looked extremely scary.

…………

"Don't mention it, this trailer is full of thriller and horror!"

"Isn't it forbidden for domestic horror films to use ghosts to scare people? How did this movie pass the review?"

"I am looking forward to it. Is this Yang Mi's first starring role on the big screen? In the previous movie "Blade of the Assassin", Yang Mi was just a small role after all, and she can't be considered the protagonist at all!"

"Why isn't she considered the protagonist? She is the absolute female lead, it's just that her role is a little less. The movie box office is over 200 million!"

"There is also Painted Skin 2. Yang Mi is not the main character in this drama either. If we talk about the dramas that have the most scenes, Yang Mi is probably in this drama and Hot Girls!"

"Oh my god, from the upcoming "Palace Lock Heart Jade", "Ancient Swordsman", to "Far Cry" and "Hot Girl", among the dramas Yang Mi has participated in, three are related to Guan Ling. This is going to take off!"

"Who said that Far Cry has nothing to do with Guan Ling? Why is it the second part of the 'youth thriller blockbuster'? Don't you have any idea?!"

When people recall carefully, they realize that the reason why it is the second part is obviously because the first part is still "The Shallows". Back then, Guan Ling, with Liu Yan and this drama, broke through the siege in a short period of time, and directly defeated Cheng Long, and established a school in China.

The film rights were later bought by Hollywood.

It's considered a big profit.

Since then, there have been many movies of both the youth thriller and teen thriller genres, but movies combining the two genres are indeed rare, mainly because people can’t find people who are willing to take on the role.

Last year, Yang Mi took on this drama, which really made the Hong Kong circle very excited.

This is the unprecedented slogan of the second youth thriller blockbuster!

Now, with the upcoming release of this movie, the industry has once again been reminded of "The Shallows," and people are looking forward to the current film.

"Director Guan, please promote it."

Yang Mi sent a text message to Guan Ling, hoping that Guan Ling could help her stand on the platform, and she would definitely be ready to bloom and welcome her at any time.

"I won't promote this movie. It's fine if your fans are deceived, but I don't want my fans to turn around and scold me, saying that my movie deceived them."

"Tsk, your little trick is that you just don't want others to see me throwing the dice!"

"Why, do you like to let others watch you throw the dice?"

"I'm only letting you watch."

"Then send two."

After flirting with Yang Mi for a while, Yang Mi called me on video.

"I'm going to the capital in a couple of days. I'll come to see you then."

"It's only been a short while since the filming of 'Hot Girls' was finished, can you please give me a break?"

"When Far Cry comes out, I can come to you with my Far Cry costumes and we can watch the movie together."

"Private theater, in the cinema?"

Guan Ling was shocked!
This girl Yang Mi is playing very arrogantly!

Yang Mi on the video call blushed instantly and refused repeatedly.

"How can that be possible? I'm a star! There are surveillance cameras in the cinema."

Then she added, "But you have your own home theater, so this is good. You don't have to worry about surveillance. You can watch it yourself anyway."

Guan Ling touched his chin, quite interested.

"We have several costumes, bring them all here. And bikinis."

Guan Ling imagined that when the time came, the family could watch and perform a movie at the same time, which would be a unique experience.

……

On July 7, "Wuxia" was first released nationwide.

As a blockbuster movie that received rave reviews at Cannes, it finally showed its fangs in the mainland market before the release of "Transformers 3".

This is another drama by Zhen Zidan after his disastrous performance in "Guan Yunchang", and it does have a certain appeal.

In today's domestic martial arts films, Zhen Zidan is still regarded as a leading figure. Although Guan Ling has not made any official announcement about the casting and production of "Ip Man 3" and the action films to be made in Hollywood, Zhen Zidan's position is still as stable as a rock.

However, compared to the positive reviews he received across the entire Internet before, people now occasionally add a hint of sarcasm when talking about him.

At this moment, the box office growth rates of "The Founding of a Party" and "I Am a Witness" both began to decline on a large scale.

"Wuxia" has ushered in the best opportunity.

Moreover, although the industry has mixed reviews about this film, there are still many positive reviews. After the premiere, the Beijing Times was the first to publish an official film review, claiming that "Wu Xia" is an ancient variation of Hong Kong police and gangster films.

This review was quite insightful and it immediately aroused the enthusiasm of many viewers who were originally eager to watch the movie.

There are not many Hong Kong films in recent times, especially police and gangster films shot by famous Hong Kong movie stars. However, Chen Kexin's "Wuxia" can be given to everyone for a sneak peek.

The Oriental Morning Post also evaluated it as an alternative funny martial arts film, claiming that with 3D and IMAX being popular abroad today, the future of Chinese martial arts films has made Chinese-language filmmakers hesitant. However, martial arts-themed films have always been the best-selling commercial films in China for a hundred years. This time, Chen Kexin's subversion of "Wuxia" stems from his background in literary and artistic films. The entertainment value is enough. As for whether the ending is shocking or not, it depends on one's own opinion.

He also joked that maybe Chen Kexin could really learn from "The Carnal Prayer Mat" next time and use high technology to subvert the concept of martial arts again, and the ending might be a victory for IT intelligence.

All in all, the film received good reviews wherever it was released.

Many people describe this movie as "scientific martial arts", meaning it has the appearance of scientific crime-solving, but also the core of traditional kung fu.

After the show was aired that day, many film reviews instantly appeared on the Internet!

“It’s very exciting, as if we are seeing the return of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema.”

"It's like the hot pot in the film. A History of Violence, Rashomon and The One-Armed Swordsman are all melted into one big pot, a big stew, but the taste is great."

"It's not tangled enough, and it lacks some details to shape the characters. The whole movie shows that the director tried to be innovative, but he overdoes it. The whole movie seems to be a mixture of darkness and roaring, which is very unpleasant. But Zhen Zidan really got beaten in it. Wang Yu punched Zhen Zidan's face so hard that it was swollen!"

These film reviews naturally have no power, but when the famous film critic Ma Yufei published his review of the film, it instantly caused a sensation on the Internet.

"In your eyes, the gods are nothing but blurry passers-by. In your eyes, the martial artists are nothing but struggles!
——Different from Jin Yong’s chivalrous hero who serves his country and his people. Nor is it Gu Long’s chivalrous hero who is bold and unrestrained. The heroes in Chen Kexin’s works are less chivalrous with blurred faces and more human feelings with distinct personalities. They are more like ordinary people, facing their own destinies, full of choices and struggles. In this movie, the word "martial arts" is separated.

Zhen Zidan is an honest man, an ordinary person. After facing the robbers, he turned into the bloodthirsty leader of the 72 Earthly Fiends, Tang Long. He broke the law with force, and he deserves the word "wu" in martial arts!

Constable Takeshi Kaneshiro is too kindhearted and moved by emotions. He cannot distinguish between the law and human nature, and he struggles thousands of times in his heart. Although there are very few fighting scenes and his superb martial arts are not absolutely demonstrated, he will not give up until he gets the truth. He is indeed a hero in his own heart, and this is also the chivalrous nature of the whole story.

Unlike the traditional martial arts films, which are full of hatred, love and hatred, fighting and killing, this film shows more of the ordinary people's ordinary forbearance. They are not like those traditional heroes who are happy to take revenge, kill one person every ten steps, and leave no trace in a thousand miles. They are more like you and me, ordinary people in the world, with joy, anger, sorrow, happiness, pain, madness, and madness.

Although the style is messy and looks patchwork, it is really memorable. The new martial arts road has never been taken by anyone, but Chen Kexin's film may have indeed given everyone a new way.

But speaking of it, although Guan Ling, the founder of the martial arts world, was previously involved in the "Asian Blade" series of films, which completely put the concept of new martial arts into reality, when will the second part be filmed?
Guan Ling, Lu Yang, are you worthy of your audience? "

This comment caused a sensation on the Internet, and the desire for "Assassin 2" made everyone instantly dream back to the time before this sensational martial arts movie.

It was combined with "Far Cry" to stir up Yang Mi's popularity again.

No one had ever thought that these two movies would be strangely linked because of a film review.

However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The martial arts film grossed 1200 million on the first day, which was a huge achievement for everyone in the industry.

However, the next day, a Weibo message from the producer instantly caused a sensation in the industry.

The producer cried out that the box office revenue of "Wu Xia" was stolen and claimed that they would investigate it thoroughly. As for the culprit, they pointed directly to the name of the movie that cannot be written.

But the film company was very tough and released the movie tickets directly. The tickets that were originally labeled "Wuxia" were now printed with the name of a competing blockbuster produced during the same period, but the film title, screening room and screening time were changed by the staff in handwriting.

After that, artificial tickets appeared one after another, and there was also strange news that the five-yuan price difference mysteriously disappeared.

The cinema then fired many temporary workers, claiming that there was a misunderstanding in the development of the incident.

"Wuxia" was even more aggressive, claiming to "offer a reward for catching the thief", and it was obvious that it wanted to use the turmoil of this incident to feed back publicity and let "Wuxia" enter the audience's field of vision to a greater extent.

But some of the revelations were quickly deleted completely.

This instantly attracted widespread attention on the Internet, and major media and netizens condemned this unfair competition.

Brother Chen Kai was dragged out again to be criticized because "The Orphan of Zhao" was also criticized online for stealing the box office of "Big Laugh" and this made Brother Chen Kai very upset when he was filming.

Jiang Defu, spokesman for China Film Group, made it clear in an interview that China Film was not aware of such incidents and did not support them. The company would notify the distribution company to conduct a thorough investigation into the matter and get to the bottom of the truth.

Only then did the storm disappear silently.

But netizens are still not afraid of big things.

"Every movie Guan Ling made has a high box office. I suspect Guan Ling also steals."

"Whoever questions it, provides evidence. Where is your evidence?"

Some people started arguing about Guan Ling on the Internet. Although Guan Ling saw these trending searches, she was not concerned at all.

He has been staying in Shanghai during this period. The production of "Even If the Wind Rises" has entered the post-production stage, and there are some details that Guan Ling needs to control.

“The style of the entire animated film is not bitter and vengeful. Although the characters may experience breakdowns and heartache, they are not heartbroken.”

Guan Ling and Director Zhang were having a meeting in the office. “Our movie may make viewers cry, but it must be because of the emotions in it, because of the story of a loser engineering guy who smokes in the house while his wife is coughing up blood, not because of a war.

War is just a matter of time. The times did not choose China at that time, which led to China suffering from aviation aggression and the heroic death of the pilots of the National Army. But that was just the background.

All of this is based on the fact that our country's fighter jet designers have left their hometowns, experienced emotional fluctuations, worked hard and been diligent from beginning to end.

These contents are more like the characters played by Zhu Yawen and Huang Xiaoming in "Never Gone" mixed together, do you understand?

Huang Xiaoming witnessed Zhu Yawen's sacrifice, so he devoted himself to fighting for the country.

Therefore, the whole movie is called Even if the wind rises,
Because China's craftsmen, scientists, and everyone have never given up!

Just like a sudden gust of wind, it takes away everything he cherishes, but also brings his dreams and the strength of our backbones. "

After he said this, no one in the room laughed, they just applauded.

Even when Guan Ling said that Huang Xiaoming witnessed Zhu Yawen's sacrifice, no one laughed.

Compared to others who don’t know the content of this movie, these people in the room know the most about this movie and what kind of sensation it can bring to domestic animated films!
The entire industry was in chaos because of the box office theft incident.

The promotion of "Transformers 3" has finally begun to release the heaviest smoke of war since July, like a dark cloud covering the city.

Most Chinese-language filmmakers feel heavy-hearted.

Because these are all bad things, whether it is the suppression of Hollywood blockbusters or dirty stories like stealing box office, they have caused heavy damage to the Chinese-language film market.

At this time, only Guan Ling is the light that can give the industry some hope.

But people strangely discovered that Guan Ling had not appeared for a long time.
