China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 499: Two Annie Awards! Bingbing's Wandering!
2012 1 Month 25 Day.

Little year.

There are only eight days left until the Chinese New Year, but the atmosphere throughout the capital city is filled with anticipation for the festival.

Guan Ling was almost drained by Liu Yifei during this period.
When I stand up, I always feel my steps are light, as if I am standing on cotton.

The previous news of competing with Japanese animated films seems to have been no longer mentioned.
Mainly because it's meaningless.

Japan demonstrated its excellent history of being good at surrendering, and soon surrendered its weapons on its own initiative.

They also presented the final work of their biggest banner, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki.

For a time, domestic and foreign media suddenly lost interest in reporting this incident in a big way.

However, in the hearts of countless domestic animators, Guan Ling’s performance has made him a god, and he is invincible in the entire industry!
But the story is not over yet. In the last period before the New Year,
The news that Guan Ling will be attending Anne Frank, Berlin and the Oscars has once again sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

The first question that many movie fans ask is, what is the Annie Awards?
Many media have reported the relevant information. The Annie Award is known as the Oscar of the animation industry. It is an American animation award that is on par with the four international A-level animation festivals hosted by the World Animation Association!
Among the four international A-level animation festivals, the one that people are most familiar with is the Annecy International Animation Festival in France, which is the most prestigious and the earliest one in the world.

Previously, the domestic animation "McDull's Story" won the Animation Feature Award at the film festival in 2003!

This is also the biggest award that Chinese animation has won since its initial development so far!
And no Chinese animation has ever won the Annie Award!

As soon as this news came out, netizens understood!

So it's another mountain-opening monster?! I understand!

Everyone is already used to it.

But after relevant media compiled an inventory of the best animated feature films of the Annie Awards, countless animation fans and even the majority of followers still exclaimed on the Internet!

Since its establishment, "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "Pocahontas", "Toy Story", "Mulan", "Shrek the Monsters", "Spirited Away", "Kung Fu Panda"...

The best works on the list of this film festival are all the most familiar and well-known names!
"When I saw other movies, I was just a little surprised, after all, I had never paid attention to such an award before. But when I saw Spirited Away, I suddenly realized why Director Guan wanted to participate in this award!"

"Japanese animated films are very strong, but even though Hayao Miyazaki has retired, Director Guan has not wanted to let this matter go. Is this a catch-up? I will go to watch all the places where Japanese animated films have been!"

"I also checked. Spirited Away won four awards at the Annie Awards, including Best Animated Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Original Score. It also won the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. It also won the Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars. Considering the journey Director Guan took, why do I feel like Director Guan went there on purpose? Is he trying to replicate the experience?"

"A remake of Spirited Away? That's a bit far off, isn't it?"

The corners of people's mouths on the Internet began to twitch, because everyone knows that "Spirited Away" is great. This animation was once regarded as a masterpiece by many Chinese people. In the entire history of film, people think that this animation is the best animation film that combines art and commerce, childlike innocence and depth. As for its significance, it is true that different ages will have different feelings when watching it.

No matter whether it is the gorgeous and colorful art design or the bizarre monsters, they cannot stand up to the lines that reflect the cruel reality.

“If you don’t work, you will disappear”

"Eat too much and you'll turn into a pig"

"Don't eat too much or you'll get killed!"

"Some things are impossible to forget, but we just can't think of them at the moment."

"When you fly down, your tears flow up."

The touching and shocking moments it brings penetrate the limitations of time and space. In Disney's industrialized animation, every frame of the animation drawn by Hayao Miyazaki with every stroke shows how much sincerity they have put into it.

In the hearts of many animation practitioners, although "Even if the Wind Rises" also touched and excited countless Chinese people, it was limited by the battle situation in China that year. Let alone replicating it, even if it won one or two awards, it would be an excellent result!
When some news reporters interviewed Guan Ling, Guan Ling just smiled.

Guan Ling herself doesn't have much confidence that the film can win some animation awards.

Guan Ling doesn't have many acquaintances at the Annie Awards. Although he was nominated for Best Animated Feature Film, Best Character Animation Award, and Best Animated Screenplay, with competitors like "Kung Fu Panda 2" in the picture, Guan Ling will not publicize his attitude towards the award in a high-profile manner.

Moreover, this play was also adapted by Guan Ling.

In its previous life, this film was only nominated. Although it was nominated for the Golden Lion Award and the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature Film, it won nothing in the end. The Annie Award was just a small award as consolation.

So if Guan Ling had any expectations this time, he had none.

I just participated in it along the way, and then returned to Hollywood to continue the final processing of "Scarlet Witch".

1 month 28 day.

Fan Bingbing came to the capital.

She was exhausted and the moment she saw Guan Ling, she rushed over to him.

Guan Ling stretched out his hand to signal Fan Bingbing to calm down, and then showed her the wolfberries he had soaked in the teacup.

"Healthy? Just eat this?"

Fan Bingbing was very surprised. He was a big director with a net worth of billions or even tens of billions, and he just ate wolfberries?
"I'm simple." Guan Ling opened the menu he had requested for his assistant. Most of the food on it was good for replenishing Yang Qi, but there were no tonics or health products. They were all grains and vegetables. "For physical matters, you can't eat some technology. You have to start with simple food and drink to replenish kidney Qi, then you are qualified."

"What's wrong with you? You're so young and you're already into this?"

Fan Bingbing was a little suspicious and kept staring into Guan Ling's eyes.

Guan Ling felt embarrassed.

Liu Yifei grabbed me and wouldn't let me go, there was nothing I could do!

Only then did Liu Yifei decide to release Guan Ling.

"It's still up to me. I'll give Director Guan a good rest."

Fan Bingbing quickly understood what was going on and took the initiative to help Director Guan massage his waist and give him a light massage, which made Guan Ling feel comfortable.

A few more days passed.

Fan Bingbing transformed herself into a housewife, and the food she cooked was indeed good.

This allowed Guan Ling to recover a lot of his energy.

February 2th, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Many people began to return home, but Guan Ling's plane started heading towards Hollywood.

At this time, "Even if the Wind Rises" has been released for a month and the box office has reached 14.7 billion!
It completely set a new record for Chinese movie box office, not only creating a miracle in the box office of animated films, but also breaking the highest box office record previously created by "Inception"!
Countless people in the industry are speechless about this.

Han Sanpin, Ren Zhonglun and others had already anticipated this matter.

For this purpose, the two of them met once.

Ren Zhonglun wants Han Sanpin to make an effort to postpone the release of Guan Ling for another month.

Han Sanpin didn't dare to do so. This was not the period when "Avatar" put tremendous pressure on countless Chinese films two years ago. If it lasted another month, those movies in the Spring Festival period would be out of the question.

What if Guan Ling makes another news at the Annie Awards, Oscars, Berlin, etc. Han Sanpin is a little afraid that other directors will overthrow his China Film.

Han Sanpin also believes that although the box office has a chance to continue to break through, it may not be too much.

It would be better to stop there and leave some room for the next movie.

But even so, the shock caused by the box office still caused the industry news media to go wild and the producers were quite suffocated!
Even Han Sanpin has counted it. In the first half of this year, both "Painted Skin 2" and "Never Gone" were movies that created absolute miracles.

After Inception, the box office of the films Guan Ling directed on his own initiative were not particularly high.

There were even media predictions that Guan Ling's personal box office might be surpassed by Ning Hao or even Wuershan this year, but no one expected that Guan Ling silenced the industry with "Hot Girl", and then gave the industry a killer blow with "Even If the Wind Rises"!

It shocked and left countless people speechless!

Therefore, all the media were waiting at the airport early, just to get some news about Guan Ling before the Chinese New Year. It would be best if Director Guan continued to work hard and then went home to have a good New Year!

airport.

When Guan Ling and Fan Bingbing appeared, the surrounding media instantly stood up in surprise. Everyone stood up collectively with joy on their faces.

"Director Guan, the internet believes that the main purpose of Director Guan's trip is to replicate the winning route of Spirited Away. Does Director Guan have this purpose?"

"After this movie, will your next movie be Scarlet Witch? Besides this, do you have any Hollywood blockbusters to deal with?"

"Director Guan, your box office has broken the current box office record in Chinese film history. How do you feel now?"

Various news came in, and Guan Ling took the microphone handed to him by a reporter.

"I don't really care about the vague records of Chinese film history. As for whether the next movie will be Scarlet Witch, if it refers to me alone, yes. If it refers to Skyline Media or Skyline Media, please look forward to Along with the Gods, directed by Chen Kaige, Aquaman, directed by James Wan, and Gone Girl, starring Zhang Ziyi.

By the way, I can give you a piece of news. Liu Yifei's "Extreme Job" is currently in production, Ning Hao's "Wild Tales" will also officially start shooting after the new year, and another Chinese-language animated film of mine has already been produced for one-third, and another animated film will also be put on the agenda. "

Guan Ling looked at everyone and said, "As for the awards, I may not win any this time, but that's not important. As long as this movie is shown around the world, I will have gotten rid of my anger."

……

When Guan Ling boarded the plane to the United States.

The news about Guan Ling also instantly triggered countless comments on domestic media.

"Guan Ling's comments on the Chinese film and television box office records are illusory!"

"Not for the award, just to show Japan's brutality and vent my anger!"

"Guan Ling officially announced the production progress of several important films, and personally admitted that Scarlet Witch will most likely be his next released film."

"The Hollywood blockbuster "Scarlet Witch" is about to be released? Fan Bingbing is joining the Avengers Marvel superheroes?!"

Various news were flooding the Internet, and Guan Ling closed his eyes for a while on the plane.

Fan Bingbing turned his head and leaned close to Guan Ling's ear to ask, "Director Guan, although the news about Avengers was confirmed last time, I haven't been asked to sign a contract yet. Will there be any accidents?"

"They are very smart. They are waiting for the box office performance of Scarlet Witch."

Guan Ling pursed his lips slightly. He had expected this to happen.

When the news came that the Avengers had decided to cooperate, Guan Ling had anticipated this matter, so this official announcement put pressure on Marvel Studios.

But they are not in a hurry.

But Guan Ling is not in a hurry. If "Scarlet Witch" is successful, the other party's original contract price will be discounted.

Fan Bingbing breathed a sigh of relief.

To speak out the problem, she panicked.

If you talk about looking at the box office, she would calm down in an instant.

Director Guan may not be good at other things, but he is really good at box office.

Thinking of this, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but cover his mouth. Although Director Guan had not been able to have a strong impact on him during these days, he had to be careful about what he was thinking and absolutely could not say it out loud.

But she was also thinking that maybe Director Guan was just gathering his strength and waiting to see the results at the awards ceremony, or if he didn't win the award he would use his own strength to deal with the stress.

Or win the award and reward yourself.

At least that's what she guessed in her heart.

She also needs to observe the specific situation.

After a long flight, Guan Ling finally landed in Los Angeles.

Just got off the plane.

Suddenly, Zhang Ziyi appeared in front of them.

Seeing Fan Bingbing next to Guan Ling, Zhang Ziyi was slightly startled.
Fan Bingbing glanced at Zhang Ziyi with his eyes slightly narrowed.

The two had a good relationship when they had worked together before, but later they had some minor disagreements.

It just so happened that Zhang Ziyi suffered a major blow, and Fan Bingbing's status even showed signs of catching up.

But now, the two are evenly matched.

Even Fan Bingbing is slightly better.

"Director Guan, Bingbing, long time no see." Having said that, Zhang Ziyi still looked happy, with white teeth showing between his fiery red lips.

Guy Naot gave Guan Ling a big hug.

"Guan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you look pale? Are you too busy lately and a little tired?"

When these words came out, Fan Bingbing almost burst out laughing.

Although these four words are divided into two different processes, the result is correct!
Besides, Director Guan is the one who is working hard for himself!
Fan Bingbing suddenly began to think about what might happen in the next two days.

Zhang Ziyi keenly captured Fan Bingbing's emotions and his face became a little stiff.

An idea rose in her mind. With just one look, she guessed what Fan Bingbing wanted to do, and she wanted to do it too.

Guan Ling didn't notice the woman's movements, but patted Guynort's shoulder, "What's the news about the Annie Awards now?"

"According to preliminary estimates, we should be able to win one or two awards," Guynort said. Suddenly he remembered something. "By the way, Lee Unkrich wants to see you."
