China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 483 Fan Bingbing is moved! Female stars in the circle are shocked! Licking! It really works!
The National Day holiday has not yet arrived, but the news about the movies that will be released during the National Day holiday has already turned into a thick smoke in the entire industry.

First of all, "The Revolution of 1911" released its trailer early. This main theme tribute film co-directed by Cheng Long and Zhang Li will be the first to present a gift for this year's National Day.

Afterwards, "Painted Skin" and "Legend of White Snake" will be scheduled on September 9 and September 28 respectively, and will directly compete head-on.

"Overheard 2" was previously withdrawn, but it stood up again and announced that it will be released again on September 9, which caught many movies released during the National Day holiday off guard.

It also puts direct pressure on "Painted Skin" and "Legend of White Snake".

As for other movies, only the imported Hollywood low-budget science fiction films "Never End" and "Lock Kingdom! Holy Dragon Knight" seem to be able to compete.

As for other movies, they are mostly just extras.
"Perfect Love", "The First President", "Rabbit in the Hall", etc., do not seem to have any advantages.

On the contrary, some movies that have only been released in Hong Kong are quite exciting, such as the upcoming "Sex and the City 33D". The name alone is enough to arouse curiosity. If you look closely, the actors and actresses are all familiar faces, including Akiho Yoshizawa, and the male one is even more amazing, he is the fastest man in the world.

The god refers to Kato Ying.

Guan Ling couldn't help but sigh as he read the news.

In the entire entertainment industry, there are only two eagles that need to be paid attention to, one is the God Finger, and the other, of course, is the Double Guns.

The industry's attention has gradually shifted to the release of "The Revolution of 1911", one of the three major blockbusters in this year's National Day holiday.

On September 9, the first day box office figures for "The Revolution of 24" were released, with a single-day box office of 576 million, which made the industry feel sympathetic.

The total investment of this film is said to be 1.2 million yuan, but this result is far from meeting the initial expectations of the film.

In the first three days of its release, the film grossed 1900 million yuan, becoming the weekly box office champion for domestic films.

But this result made it difficult for Cheng Long to smile.

While the box office was uneventful, the film's reputation was polarized.

The Internet is full of claims that the film has superb acting skills and shocking war scenes, and all kinds of praise can be found. However, many people also think that the plot of the film about giving away umbrellas is like a "running account", which is tasteless and a pity to throw away.

The National Day hasn't even arrived yet, and this drama has already retreated to the second tier.

Speaking of which, since this year's National Day is close to the 1911th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, there has been a small blowout of tribute films. Five movies, "Bloody Heroes", "The First President", "The People's 5", and "The Heroine - Qiu Jin", will be released one after another in less than 30 days, becoming another scene of the National Day season besides the "blockbuster showdown" and "small films surviving in the cracks".

But among them, "The Revolution of 1911" is definitely the most anticipated movie.

But such results are really hard to justify.

Earlier, the news that "Heroic Bloodshot" was quickly taken off the screen after two weeks of screening and had grossed 95 yuan at the box office was dug up, causing an uproar in the industry.

"The tribute movies are in decline! Since "Never Gone", tribute movies have been struggling. Three months ago, "The Founding of a Party" was released in March and barely passed the 400 million mark. It seems to foreshadow the performance of the "tribute climax" during the National Day holiday!"

"This newspaper interviewed some viewers, who believed that tribute films should at least go beyond the textbook level, and that mainstream films need to be flexible and diverse and should not be scripted. So we might as well just read the book."

"Zhang Li got angry during an interview. Such a movie must not seek breakthroughs in themes and viewpoints. I have made some artistic achievements and have successfully completed the positioning of this article. Please don't put me on the stove!"

When being interviewed, Zhang Li was still quite tough.

But no matter how tough he tried, the box office gave him a resounding slap in the face.

On September 9, "Painted Skin" premiered in Hong Kong. Prior to this, in order to make this film a trump card of Guangxian Media, Wang Changtian specially lent someone, Liu Yan, to Guan Ling.

Liu Yan went to Hong Kong for a roadshow promotion, but she hasn't arrived yet.

The Hong Kong media news first caused a sensation in the mainland.

"A magical love movie will be released in Hong Kong cinemas, and Liu Yan's 'breasts invade Hong Kong' will steal the show!"

"Liu Yan's breasts hit the Hong Kong premiere. If the box office of "Painted Skin" exceeds 100 million, she will show off her proud breasts!"

"The movie clip triggered a sensational plot, and Liu Yan's breast-protecting outfit stole the show!"

The reason why this drama premiered in Hong Kong first is because Gordon Chan is a Hong Konger, and this publicity was somewhat intended to deliberately send Hong Kong media news back to the mainland. When the news began to sweep the mainland, people became very interested in Liu Yan's breasts in this drama.

Afterwards, the premiere of "Legend of the White Snake" pushed the war of gunpowder during the National Day to a climax.

This movie, starring Jet Li and Huang Shengyi, premiered in Venice and received a lot of praise from domestic and foreign media. Many foreign media lined up at the scene waiting for the Kung Fu Emperor's autograph.

After "Ocean Heaven", Jet Li and Wen Zhang resumed their relationship. Following the father-son relationship, this movie also showed a strong mentor-disciple relationship.

The special effects production scenes of the entire movie also became the biggest highlight of the whole film for foreign audiences at that time.

The authoritative magazine "The Hollywood Reporter" even claimed that the film was one of the top ten films that must be watched at the Venice Film Festival, and that 70% of the investment cost was recovered through overseas pre-sales alone.

At the domestic premiere, Jet Li had a strong aura and there was a lot of laughter at the scene. Due to the failure of "The Revolution of 1911", Jet Li was in a good mood. Compared with the tribute film, "Legend of White Snake" as a fantasy film, at least in terms of bottom line, did not have to worry about the performance, not to mention that most of the costs had been recovered.

From this perspective, the film that Jackie Chan filmed after returning to China has been declared a failure.

The premiere of "Overheard 2" was star-studded and directly pushed the entire National Day box office competition to its climax.

The participation of Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Daniel Wu, Huang Yi and Bona Film Group President Yu Dong in the premiere also caused quite a stir. Previously, "Guan Yunchang" directed by Alan Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang was criticized, and people may have doubts about his movies.

Yu Dong directly raised the microphone at the scene and claimed that the film was better than "Guan Yunchang" and even gave a generous evaluation, suggesting that the film might surpass "Infernal Affairs"! For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

In this slightly sluggish market, news in the entertainment industry is a mixture of true and false.

But box office results don’t lie. No matter how people brag or define it, the data will give the industry the real answer.

The box office of "Painted Skin" on the first day was 1300 million, "Legend of the White Snake" on the first day was 1100 million, and "Overheard 2" on the first day was 1498 million, announcing the slump before the National Day holiday.
This was of course expected by everyone, but such an achievement also gave these producers reassurance.

If we continue like this, it will be no problem to at least break 100 million. Probably getting close to 200 million is a normal result.

The industry has seen billions of results before, so naturally, facing a movie with such a box office, there won’t be too much shock.

But soon, Guan Ling dropped a bombshell on the entire entertainment industry!
……

"Recently, Guan Ling's first animated film, Even If the Wind Rises, has been completely edited at Shanghai Art Studio. Lingyun Media announced that the film will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year! Please wait for further notification for the specific date!"

"Venice officially announced that it has been a year since the film was made. Is this the film that Guan Ling has spent the longest time on, besides Inception?!"

"The dubbing of this film is being kept almost secret! But according to reliable sources, the film will be in both Chinese and English. The dubbing audition news released by Hollywood Sky Tower confirms this topic."

Another piece of news has dug up a small announcement issued by Motian Lingyun some time ago, which caused an uproar in public opinion after its release.

Almost overnight,
The entire entertainment industry was in an uproar!

As September enters the second half of the month and October has just arrived, the global entertainment industry is more like a pot of hot water that has not yet boiled.

Whether it is the so-called box office results or the casting of Guan Ling's "Wild Tales", it may just cause some sensation to the audience, but it will not arouse huge emotions in the industry.

However, the emergence of news related to "Even If the Wind Rises" directly triggered the most real emotions in the industry on this day when the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution is approaching.

"What do you mean by a gift?! This is a gift?! I, Director Guan, will keep my word. Are you ready to be baptized?!"

"What kind of miracle will China's first animated film officially produced in Venice create for the industry?!"

"Keep going, little black fans. Director Guan just doesn't say anything and works silently! 'Hot Girl' was a spur of the moment film and it grossed 700 million yuan at the box office. 'Wild Stories' just had its cast confirmed, which attracted many movie stars in the circle to join in one after another! Now the animated film has been completed and edited! You can keep criticizing me!" For a moment, public opinion was in an uproar.

The entire Chinese film and television industry was in turmoil, and countless people were silent.

Japan.

When Makoto Shinkai learned that the filming of "The Wind Rises" was completed, his lips moved a few times and he muttered to himself.

"It's finally set. I thought you, Guan, were just good at talking nonsense."

He smiled, his eyes slightly cold.

In fact, few people know that he had previously written a letter to Mr. Goro Miyazaki. From the perspective of an animation director and from the perspective of the national honor of Japanese animated films, he wrote a long letter.

I hope that Goro Miyazaki's "From Poppy Hill" this year can be postponed.

In fact, he knows Goro Miyazaki, and they can talk over the phone or in person.

But he still wrote a letter, expressing his sincere wishes and making a strong request to Goro Miyazaki.

The main purpose, of course, is to target Guan Ling.

Although the box office results in Japan and China cannot be directly compared, Makoto Shinkai likes this effect.

In a place with so many Chinese people, if the global total box office is not as good as "From Poppy Hill", what a wonderful scene it would be!
All of Guan’s previous remarks about the Japanese Empire would become nothing but a joke.

The official announcement in Venice will also become a futile joke in the eyes of the global audience.

As for failure, it is impossible.
The screenwriters of this film "From the Hill of Poppy" are Hayao Miyazaki and Chizuru Takahashi, both of whom are well-known figures in the Japanese animation industry. How could it be possible to succeed with just Guan Ling?

……

South Korea,

Bong Joon-ho saw a piece of news while browsing the news in South Korea.

"The animated film written by Guan Ling and edited by Guan Ling himself has recently been announced to be edited and will be released during the Lunar New Year holiday."

When Bong Joon-ho saw this news, his expression changed.

He hadn't seen Guan Ling for a long time since "The Crucible".

But in his heart, he felt extremely touched for Guan Ling.

After a slight hesitation, he sent a message to Guan Ling.

"Guan, if you want your movie to be released in Korea, I will help you promote it."

Guan Ling quickly replied to him,

"Don't panic."

"Hmm? I'm worried that Japan will do something to you. The news about you in Venice was very sensational. Although it has been a year, if Japan also uses an animated film to target you, your reputation will be seriously damaged."

"Thank you, but don't panic." Guan Ling also used inverted sentences in the text message he sent, "If this movie can't beat the Japanese movies, then I will quit the film industry."

Bong Joon-ho squinted his eyes as he read the text message and suddenly laughed out loud.

……

"Guan, Aquaman is set to be released, and I picked a great day for you!"

Guy Naut's phone call also came in. "I really wanted to have this movie released simultaneously around the world, but obviously, I can't do it. If so, it will not be a good thing for us to postpone it to next year, so we will have a grand release during the Christmas season this year. As for China, it may be postponed to March next year. I think you need to confirm this news."

After chatting, Guan Ling found that there was indeed no suitable opportunity to release these two dramas simultaneously, otherwise they would have to wait until March next year, but that schedule is definitely not as good as the Christmas schedule for Americans.

The competition during this year's Christmas season is not that severe. This year is the best opportunity to make money.

Guan Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

During this period, James Wan might be able to make another B-level movie and make some money, so there is really no need to keep him hanging and put him in a dilemma.

"I heard that the editing of Even If the Wind Rises has been completed?"

Guy Naut said, "Congratulations, Guan, your animated film is finally going to be released."

"There's a lot of noise online, and I've been waiting for a long time." Guan Ling narrowed his eyes, "Of course I want to release it, and I want to release it worldwide. Although this kind of movie may not have many screenings in your country, it doesn't matter."

"I'll help you make the contact. I understand what this play means to you." Guy Naote nodded.

We also talked about the scenes of several other plays.

"Uncharted" will officially start filming in the middle of this month, and Jackie Chan and Zhu Yawen are currently heading to Hollywood.

"Gone Girl" has wrapped up filming and is currently in post-production editing.

The same goes for Scarlet Witch.

Suddenly, Guynaot said.

"Guan, wait a moment, I received an important email."

Guan Ling naturally agreed.

Two minutes later, Guy Naot forwarded the email to Guan Ling.

Guan Ling glanced at the content of the email.

The above is the news from Marvel Universe Studios. While inviting Guan Ling to direct "Avengers 2", they also hope to sit down with Guan, Fan Bingbing, and DC Movies to talk about the news of Fan Bingbing joining.

"This is a conference call," Gatnar said. "Do you want to join?"

Guan Ling narrowed his eyes slightly.

That night, Fan Bingbing heard the chattering of English in the meeting, his eyes were blank and he was extremely moved.

The next day, there was a rumor that Marvel Universe Studios had invited Guan Ling to direct the second "Avengers" movie and invited Fan Bingbing to join it.

For a time,

Countless female celebrities in the circle were in collective shock!
Everyone's heart was filled with disbelief.

Marvel Universe?!
Is this the Marvel Universe I was thinking of?!

Even Fan Bingbing felt his heart beating uncontrollably.

"Licking Director Guan really works!"
