China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 510 Being a director requires not only heart but also effort

[Completed]

"Son, what's wrong?"

After seeing Zhao Wenzhuo hang up the phone, the old father asked with some concern.

Judging from Zhao Wenzhuo’s expression, his father clearly sensed what had happened.

Zhao Wenzhuo suddenly hugged his old father's shoulders excitedly and shook him, "Dad, Director Guan contacted me! Let me join the crew!"

"Which Director Guan?"

"The one who filmed 'The Wind Rises,'" Zhao Wenzhuo added, "the one who won the Oscar before."

The old man was suddenly stunned and narrowed his eyes. "The one who filmed Ip Man?"

"I guess so, but the person who actually took the photo was not him." Zhao Wenzhuo was too lazy to explain it in detail to the old man, but he was still a little at a loss.

Just now, he received a call from Chen Guofu.

Chen Guofu told him that Director Guan wanted him to play the leading male role in the future "Ip Man" and asked for his opinion.

At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo was stunned for a moment and did not give an answer for a long time. When the other party reminded him again, he said okay, and then he fell into deep doubt.

"Really me?"

"This pie fell on me?"

"Ip Man"?
Goose bumps suddenly appeared!

Zhao Wenzhuo looked like a madman!

He knew very well how much of a bonus he would get from starring in the subsequent films of the "Ip Man" series! Most importantly, he also took the opportunity to establish a cooperative relationship with Director Guan, which would be a great benefit to his future development!
……

After Zhao Wenzhuo agreed, the preparations for "Ip Man 3" finally got on track.

Lingyun Media released an official announcement, which was considered an explanation to the fans of "Ip Man".

"Ip Man 3, directed by Wilson Yip, written by Guan Ling, and starring Zhao Wenzhuo, will start filming in two months."

"Zhao Wenzhuo replaces Zhen Zidan! Are the martial arts stars in Hong Kong martial arts circle facing a civil war?!"

"When did Zhen Zidan fall? Does Zhao Wenzhuo's taking over "Ip Man 3" mean that Zhen Zidan's status as a martial arts superstar will be challenged?"

"It is reported that Ip Man 3 is still in the casting stage. Except for the lead actor Zhao Wenzhuo, the other leading actors of the film will be selected by director Wilson Yip through auditions."

Following Lingyun Media’s official announcement, the entire industry was a little confused for a moment.

Recently, everyone has been immersed in the century-long craze created by Director Guan's animated films.

Everyone has forgotten that Director Guan is not only the director of Hua Xia Animation, but also the most famous Oscar-winning screenwriter in the country, and the boss of Lingyun Media. He has made more than one movie.

Many people can only stare blankly at the cartoon.

However, movies, even if they are only produced by Lingyun Media, are top-level S-level resources for many actors in the industry.

All of a sudden, countless resumes began to flow to Lingyun Media.

"The filming location of "Wild Times" has started construction in Hengdian. Lingyun Media will build a film and television city in Thailand and Myanmar, which is full of Southeast Asian style!"

At this time, Ning Hao, leading the characters he had selected before, began to vigorously start construction in Hengdian to build the Thailand-Myanmar scenic circle with an investment of 500 million yuan.

Guan Ling believes that this preparation process is necessary.

Because there are many movies that may be shot here in the future.

Originally, Guan Ling wanted to ask Ning Hao if he wanted to take a break, but Ning Hao didn't want to, so the filming of "Wild Times" will start soon. Ning Hao has also sent notices to all the actors to apply for visas, and they will fly to Thailand with him later.

"You Benchang, Liu Dehua, Chen Daomin, Sun Honglei, Wang Sicong, Wang Luodan, Hu Ge, Zhang Shi, Jing Tian, ​​Hu Jun and others have confirmed their performances and will soon follow Ning Hao to Thailand."

"'Wild Times' is about to start filming! Except for Fan Bingbing who is currently in Hollywood, the rest of the actors are already in place!"

On the Internet, it seems that Lingyun Media is constantly taking action as if it is calling for KPIs at the beginning of the new year.

And every movement almost dazzled everyone's eyes.

……

Hong Kong.

When Zhen Zidan saw the news, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

When he learned that the person Guan Ling finally chose was Zhao Wenzhuo, he even felt a little worried.

Although Zhen Zidan is a big star now, Zhao Wenzhuo is not an unknown person either, and there has always been a grudge between the two. In the 2006 "Seven Swordsmen", Zhao Wenzhuo was originally scheduled to be the leading actor of the movie, but during the filming process, Zhao Wenzhuo was replaced and he was the one who took over.

Because of this, he became a first-line actor, while Zhao Wenzhuo gradually faded out of people's sight.

But even so, thanks to some previous film and television works, everyone is still familiar with Zhao Wenzhuo's face.

The 2008 drama "Tai Chi" set off a craze for Zhao Wenzhuo in the film and television circles. Many people have been wondering when he and themselves will be able to compete in film and television works.

This allowed Zhao Wenzhuo to stick to the bottom line of a martial arts star and not fall completely behind and be left behind by himself.

Movies such as "Once Upon a Time in China" also helped Zhao Wenzhuo to extend his life a little.

But even so, if Zhen Zidan really looked at him straight in the eye? That's overthinking.

Zhen Zidan doesn't like her yet.

But when the news came out online, Zhen Zidan panicked.

He knew very well how much a movie of the size of "Ip Man" could bring to Zhao Wenzhuo...

In a fit of anger, Zhen Zidan started to write negative information about Zhao Wenzhuo online.

They are all insiders, so they probably know what stories the other party has had before. As long as they add a little bit of exaggeration, won’t netizens be deceived?

Zhen Zidan decided to strike first.

Just a few days into February, a large amount of negative information about Zhao Wenzhuo suddenly appeared on the Internet.

"He played big and got dropped by Tsui Hark, and abused his feelings to use Anita Mui to get ahead. Why can't Zhao Wenzhuo make it in the Hong Kong circle?"

"Anita Mui passed away due to illness, all the Hong Kong stars came to pay tribute, but Zhao Wenzhuo did not show up from beginning to end!"

"Zhao Wenzhuo has a bad character. As an actor, he refused to obey script changes. He would leave before the filming was finished and would not film if he was not satisfied with the script. He disappeared for five days, leaving more than 300 people in the crew waiting for him. At this time, he had already returned to BJ to rest. His working hours, including commuting and washing, are only nine hours. He is a real villain. This is why he has not had any films in the past two years."

"Many celebrities in the Hong Kong circle have worked with Zhao Wenzhuo before. The reason why they don't work with him now is precisely because of Zhao Wenzhuo's mean behavior..."

The sudden uproar on the Internet left Zhao Wenzhuo at a loss as to what to do, and also caused a stir over the upcoming filming of "Ip Man 3".

Then Zhao Wenzhuo couldn't bear it anymore and posted a blog on Weibo.

"Since "Once Upon a Time in China", I haven't filmed a movie for more than a year, except for "The Secret Code of Wudang" at the end of last year.

But this has nothing to do with the negative information that has been exposed on the Internet. All the online comments about being abandoned by Tsui Hark, being abused, having an illegitimate child, having a nine-hour work system, and being a mean person are completely untrue! I have formally asked the relevant lawyers to file a lawsuit.

As for why these scandals appeared, I was also very surprised. I just accepted Director Guan's script, whose cake did I touch? ! "

In fact, whether you hire a lawyer to file a lawsuit or tell netizens that the relevant information is untrue, it is just the other party's self-evidence.

This incident can only be regarded as a disturbance.

But the last sentence really hit the core of the target, and almost slapped the four words "the mastermind behind the exposure of these scandals" on Zhen Zidan's face!
In an instant, the Internet was in an uproar!
Although Zhen Zidan is indeed the mastermind behind the incident, netizens believe that this matter has nothing to do with Zhen Zidan, at least for the time being.

At least there is no evidence.

Along with Zhao Wenzhuo's quick voice, the target was directly anchored on a suspect.

The entertainment industry suddenly became lively.

In fact, this year is quite lively.

In early February, the news that actress Bai Jing was stabbed 13 times by her wealthy husband and then committed suicide reminded people of the famous joke in Northeast China.

This silenced many people in the industry.

It can be regarded as a small physical shock to the industry.

It’s just that since the Golden Bear Award was won by an animated film, no one in the industry cares too much about it.

But this time people can't help but care, because this Zhao Wenzhuo, as expected, is an actor selected by Director Guan himself.

Zhao Wenzhuo's voice was steady, accurate and ruthless. He directly found the opponent's pain points and struck them precisely without mercy.

Logically sound, behaviorally reasonable, bold inference, and hit the mark!

However, Zhao Wenzhuo did not mention Zhen Zidan's name, so Zhen Zidan was unable to respond for the time being and could only let his agent or someone like him speak out.

With the mutual responses, there was quite a stir on the Internet for a while.

……

"What should we do about this?"

Chen Guofu called Guan Ling and said, "The movie hasn't even been shot yet and this has happened. This is not a good thing."

"These two people are destined to meet each other," Guan Ling couldn't help laughing. Although he was in Hollywood, the Internet speed was still fast. He originally thought that this century-long quarrel would disappear because of the non-cooperation of the movie, but he didn't expect that it would still happen because Zhao Wenzhuo took the role of Zhen Zidan. Speaking of which, these two people are really funny. After all, they are destined to meet each other.

"Let them fight, we will take advantage of the situation to promote Ip Man 3."

Guan Ling doesn't want to get involved in this now. The more these two make trouble, the more popular "Ip Man" will become.

Anyway, Zhao Wenzhuo is not a member of his own company, he is just a selected leading actor. He will not worry too much about this matter. He just needs to keep an eye on it at all times and make sure Zhao Wenzhuo doesn't collapse.

Moreover, even if it collapsed, Guan Ling could only save him with ease.

But the outcome now seems a bit biased, so just wait a little longer.

The main reason is that Guan Ling also wants to watch for a while to see who will stand on whose side in this battle of the century.

……

Many people in the industry were waiting for Guan Ling's evaluation and voice, but Guan Ling never said a word.

Instead, we will focus on the operations of this year's Oscars.

Guy Naut arrived at the Oscars long before and helped Guan Ling with a lot of public relations for "The Wind Rises", which made the film eligible for the Best Animated Feature Film shortlist.

A long time ago, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the full schedule for the 84th Academy Awards. Although there had been doubts about moving the Oscars to January, according to the exposed schedule, it is basically the same date as the 83rd Academy Awards.

As a grand event in the American film industry, the Oscars are becoming less and less likely to bring surprises. In order to avoid the long awards season at the beginning of the year, the Oscars are also considering moving the date forward to retain some freshness, while also avoiding the subsequent Super Bowl event, allowing the judges to have time to watch the participating films.

However, judging from the final schedule confirmation, the Oscars still adopted the same date as last year.

第84届奥斯卡奖的提名名单2012年的1月24日，颁奖典礼则会在2012年2月26日举行，场地依然是柯达剧院。

This news is definitely big news.

In fact, since the Spring Festival, there has been constant big news in the circle.

Previously, the Hollywood blockbuster "Mission Impossible 4" earned 5.76 million yuan at the box office.

Then "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" won 4.75 million yuan.

The two together cut a billion in results.

The film market is gradually prospering, but with Guan Ling winning the Annie Award and the Golden Bear Award respectively, these box office-related content can no longer touch the hearts of the audience.

The box office performance of "Even if the Wind Rises" has exceeded 15 billion!

The performance of other Chinese films, on the other hand, is a bit off.

The performance of "Love" finally stopped at 1.5 million, "I Do" barely broke million, and "Overheard" was a selected film in Venice last year, but its final box office was only about million, which is not worth mentioning.

The entire subsequent period of the Spring Festival can almost be said to be completely dominated by Hollywood blockbusters.

Therefore, it is unlikely that people will have much discussion about it.

As Guan Ling and others arrived at the Oscars, domestic news was once again in a frenzy.

"The 84th Academy Awards is coming soon, Oscar-winning actors and actresses gather together, and the list of guest presenters is announced!"

"Kodak files for bankruptcy, Oscars naming rights agreement ends!"

"The 84th Academy Awards will establish the 'Golden Collar' award for the first time, to crown a dog the best."

"Li Bingbing has been invited and will attend the Oscars ceremony."

"Guan Ling, Fan Bingbing, and Zhang Ziyi accepted an Oscar interview. The three will walk the Oscar red carpet and participate in the Oscar party."

……

In a hotel in Hollywood.

Zhang Ziyi finally got what she wanted.

"Men are all big stinky pigs. Why were you worried before that I was poisonous? Now it's different. Should I use it anyway?"

Zhang Ziyi threw a coquettish glance at Guan Ling and said with a grin, "There is no time when I cannot get what I want."

"You want to not wear it, but I will."

Guan Ling's words left Zhang Ziyi speechless.

The key is that Guan Ling did not stop at all, "You also saw it last time. I didn't wear it on Fan Bingbing's body. So for you, you have never had what you want. This is called entering the body, but not entering the game."

Zhang Ziyi's breathing became rapid.

They were all people of status, so Guan Ling's words were too much of a blow to her.

After all, aren't you still afraid of poison?

"Are you really not going to take care of the mess at home?"

After all, Zhang Ziyi was a man who had seen big scenes, so he didn't make any noise or cry out, which dealt a psychological blow to Guan Ling, making him a little resentful.

"What's going on at home?"

"Zhao Wenzhuo." Zhang Ziyi said, "I saw it online. Now people from both sides have been punished. Some people in the Hong Kong circle stood on Zhen Zidan's side, saying that Zhao Wenzhuo suspected people without any reason, which was immoral and essentially a manifestation of bad character. As a result, he was scolded by netizens. I saw that Shuqi was flooded with movie screenshots on Weibo because she stood on Zhen Zidan's side."

"What movie screenshot?"

"Just like now."

Zhang Ziyi pointed at his body that was forcibly held by Guan Ling, "The white one."

"Then I have to go take a look."

Guan Ling picked up the phone with a smile.

Zhang Ziyi once again suffered a fatal blow from Guan Ling.

Guan Ling hadn't even taken a second to browse Weibo when she saw netizens posting screenshots of other people's previously shot art films in the comment section. Before she could even enjoy them, she saw the comments being deleted one by one.

But after deleting one, there was still one left and I couldn’t delete them all.

Not even two minutes.

It shows that Shuqi’s Weibo account has been cancelled.

"It seems like Shuqi has lost his mind."

Guan Ling said.

"What do you mean?"

"This guy has logged out of Weibo."

"Well, this is reasonable." Zhang Ziyi understands Shuqi's feelings very well. "If someone kept posting comments on my Weibo about my red beach, I would definitely not be able to bear it. What's more, mine was secretly photographed, and I didn't reveal anything. Shuqi's is embarrassing. She finally cleared herself of the blame, but now, why should she stand with this team?"

Guan Ling couldn't help but interrupt: "She is whitewashing, and you are being slandered. You are both dark in nature."

"That doesn't stop you from touching me."

"I said, I'm in but not in the game." Guan Ling touched his nose, "I just admire the spirit of Wei Wu."

"What is Wei Wu style?"

"The legacy of Wei Wu has turned into a good one."

Zhang Ziyi squinted at him, "You're talking nonsense. Which one of me and Fan Bingbing is popular? And your mistresses are all unmarried little foxes."

Guan Ling couldn't refute it at this time.

In Hollywood, Zhang Ziyi is obviously very relaxed.

He doesn't seem to mind.

The eldest sister has always been so straightforward. She had set her eyes on Guan Ling a long time ago and had taken the initiative to approach him several times, but was rejected every time.

If she hadn't eaten hot food a few times this time, she wouldn't have had a chance in Hollywood.

But this time it was her turn, and she couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Seeing Guan Ling touching his nose and not saying anything, Zhang Ziyi's expression became much colder.

Until I hit upon Guan Ling's concern.

If my popularity is not bad, I won't make a fuss if you don't say anything, and everyone can still enjoy the sweet dates secretly.

What I’m afraid of is Director Guan’s current situation. There are only little foxes and old foxes, and everyone wants to eat them.

Who you feed and who you don't feed will inevitably have an impact.

A man only has one brother, how can he take care of so many sisters-in-law?
Director Guan, it’s not easy.

The old fox at least knows the big picture and knows when to advance and retreat.

So Zhang Ziyi started to move forward and backward again, comforting him, "Director Guan, it's not easy. Being a director requires not only your heart, but also your strength."
