China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 512: The Aquaman cast pays respects to the mountain gate, and the significance of the Queen of the Sea knocking on the door
【Modified】

The storm has finally settled.

When Guan Ling personally stepped in, everyone in the industry knew that this matter had no right or wrong, good or bad, and it had finally come to an end.

At least from now on, Zhao Wenzhuo won.

The entire Chinese entertainment industry also suffered the visual shock before and after Guan Ling's death.

According to the statistics of the big change in the attitude of celebrities,

After Zhao Wenzhuo released the message, Zhen Zidan did not respond.

It's one-on-one.

Then Zhen Zidan should have invited foreign aid, and many celebrities from the Hong Kong circle joined in, with a ratio of 1 to 7.

This incident, which was similar to a group fight, caused an uproar among netizens. Shu Qi was singled out and later deleted 8,000 Weibo posts.

At this time, the ratio of celebrities behind the two is 4 to 36.

When Guan Ling personally came out, the ratio became 74 to 23. Among them, more than a dozen people quickly cut ties with Shu Qi because of the Shu Qi incident and became supporters of Shu Qi, but it did not affect their criticism of Zhen Zidan.

The funniest thing is that there are a few funny people among them.

After Guan Ling liked the post, he quickly stood on Zhen Zidan's side. After being deceived by Guan, he deleted the Weibo post in shame.

The main focus is freedom of speech.

The entire entertainment industry has seen the true power of Guan Ling.

This is only the first day, and things are far from fermenting.

The disparity between the two sides is so huge that it makes people stare at the sky.

The most crucial thing is that from beginning to end, there was no evidence that Zhao Wenzhuo was framed by Zhen Zidan from the beginning.

From this perspective, Director Guan is just standing on his own side and advocating doing whatever he wants.

Many people gasped.

…………

With the Guan Ling incident coming to an end, the attention of the entire entertainment industry finally turned to Guan Ling and the upcoming Oscar awards ceremony.

Actually, it was a bit of a pity about this year's Oscars ceremony.

Since Guan Ling made the English version of "When the Wind Rises" and contacted Guy Naut to screen it in a certain theater, it was eligible for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. Therefore, whether it was submitted or participated in the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, it was finally nominated.

The Best Foreign Language Film was actually nominated for Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War.
But unfortunately, this movie was eliminated from the list of nine preliminary films.

Among the nine shortlisted films, only one, the anti-Japanese epic "Seediq Bale" directed by a Taiwanese director, was shortlisted.

And he was finally eliminated from the list.

Guan Ling's "Even If the Wind Rises" was finally selected as one of the five shortlisted animated feature films.

So it is a pity that three Chinese directors were not able to attend the Oscars this year.

In fact, this year's Oscars had an overall desolate atmosphere. If Guan Ling and others had not come here, this would have been the year in which Chinese people paid the least attention to the Oscars.

Just as film giant Eastman Kodak announced bankruptcy on the eve of the ceremony, American films at the 84th Academy Awards party also seemed a bit lonely.

Because the Oscars is the largest, highest-level, and most attended entertainment event in the U.S. and even the world's film industry, people hope to attract the attention of the masses through this event, thereby increasing the appeal of movies to the audience, and by increasing box office revenue, the film industry, which has been suffering from the financial crisis, will regain its former vitality.
However, "thin shoulders" - this magnificent evening party could never bear this heavy responsibility.

The financial crisis that began in North America in 2008 has left a lot of shadows and has had an adverse impact on the American film industry.

People thought that when the clouds of the financial crisis dissipated, the public would go to the cinema in groups of three or five, forget the pain in front of them and gain temporary mental numbness by appreciating the performances of their favorite movie stars.

But the situation over the past three years has shown that this "prescription for treating mental illness" has lost its former effectiveness.

Most of the award-winning films on this year's final shortlist lack the support of good box office performance.

For example, for the Best Picture, among the nine films that were ultimately nominated, The Help, a drama about racial relations in the American South in the 9s, had the best box office, but its revenue in North America was only $60 million.

Moneyball, the baseball movie made for Brad Pitt, only earned $7600 million.

It cannot be compared with box office hits such as "Titanic", "Avatar" and the "Harry Potter" and "Transformers" series.

People may have to admit the fact that the Oscars awards ceremony alone can no longer fulfill its long-term mission of boosting the film industry market.

Some people even think that this year's Oscars ceremony is more of a symbolic significance.

……

But in comparison, this year's Oscars may have a more profound meaning for China.

People are very curious about whether "The Wind Rises" can win an Oscar. As a Chinese animated feature film that has won the Annie Award and the Berlin Golden Bear, can Guan Ling still show his power at the Oscars?
The day before the award ceremony, Cheng Long and Zhu Yawen arrived late.

As soon as they met, Cheng Long looked at Guan Ling with hesitation.

"Zhen Zidan asked me to be a lobbyist, hoping that Director Guan would not kill him completely. He can guarantee that he will not mention Zhao Wenzhuo in the future, and he will not sincerely apologize to Zhao Wenzhuo in private."

"Does this mean he admitted that he was the one who spread the dirty news?"

Guan Ling raised his eyebrows.

Cheng Long suddenly felt numb all over. It seems that you really don’t know anything!

He originally thought that Guan Ling had some actual evidence. After all, for Guan Ling, investigating the internet trolls behind the black material was just a matter of moving his fingers. But Cheng Long really didn't expect that Guan Ling was just spreading rumors blindly.

The key is to spray it correctly.

Guan Ling naturally would not tell Cheng Long that the two of them had a very deep bond in their previous life, so there was no need to investigate at all, and Guan Ling did not need any evidence. As long as Zhao Wenzhuo was hacked, there would be no problem in pinning the blame on Zhen Zidan. Now that Wu Jing hadn't gotten up yet, it would be most appropriate to pin the blame on him.

"Otherwise I'll have to scratch your head."

Guan Ling looked at Cheng Long with a smile.

Cheng Long's mouth twitched, "This is no joke. Whoever wins might be named the successor of 'Cheng Long'. I won't do that to them."

Although he knew Guan Ling was joking, Cheng Long still felt that Guan Ling's words were a bit crazy.

He never mentioned Zhen Zidan's matter again.

Anyway, the words have been spoken, one sentence is enough. No matter how much more, Cheng Long is not Zhen Zidan's father.

"You've gotten stronger, huh?"

Guan Ling turned his head to look at Zhu Yawen. His biceps had grown almost two times bigger. In Uncharted, Zhu Yawen played the role of Spider-Man in his previous life, so there were indeed certain requirements for his figure. Moreover, although Zhu Yawen looked tough, he was actually a skinny guy judging by his muscle content.

Zhu Yawen said: "Eating hamburgers every day to build muscle. The Americans are so interesting."

Guan Ling understood Zhu Yawen's feelings very well. When he was filming "Inception" in the United States, his mouth was almost dry.

If Liu Yifei hadn't helped him relieve stress, Guan Ling felt that he would have run away long ago.

But now Zhu Yawen has no way to relieve stress. He can only set the postgraduate examination papers for himself, sometimes being a student and sometimes being a tutor.

"Let's not talk about me. You're too awesome. Director Guan... Director Guan."

Zhu Yawen could hardly hide his excitement. "When I saw the Annie Awards live in the United States, I almost jumped up. When I saw you win the Golden Bear in Berlin, my brother Cheng Long and I almost peed our pants."

Cheng Long quickly glanced at Zhu Yawen and said, "You almost peed yourself, why did you bring me along?" But he was not angry.

Zhu Yawen touched his nose and said with a smile, "Anyway, I was very excited. We both thought you had no chance at that time."

"Sister Hua also asked me to congratulate you."

After a short conversation, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi also appeared beside Guan Ling.

Zhang Ziyi is understandable, as she is one of the Oscar judges. But the distance between Zhang Ziyi and Guan Ling seems a bit too close.

They all knew that Zhang Ziyi starred in "The Vanishing Lover" written by Guan Ling, and they could understand why Zhang Ziyi did this.

But I’m mainly curious as to whether Guan Ling would just let it happen?

After Fan Bingbing greeted Cheng Long, Cheng Long looked at Guan Ling with a playful look.

He remembered that when filming "2012", Fan Bingbing flew from China to the American crew to send goose feathers to Guan Lingqianliu.

Now Zhang Ziyi is also standing behind Guan Ling.

It seems like we are kindred spirits.

But Cheng Long didn't care.

Zhu Yawen was a little surprised, because before, they were all child actors. Later, he had heard a little about Fan Bingbing. After all, Bingbing's wife was really awesome.

But Zhang Ziyi?

This is too exciting!

……

Not long after.

When Fan Bingbing went out to communicate with some other directors, Li Bingbing appeared beside Guan Ling.

Also beside her was a woman Guan Ling was not very familiar with.

"Hello, Director Guan. I'm Shang Wenjie."

The other party took the initiative to reach out and handed Guan Ling a bottle of mineral water. "?"

Guan Ling took a look and saw that it said "Made in China", which made him feel a little numb.

Shang Wenjie smiled and said, "Director Guan may not have read the news. This afternoon, our country's brand of mineral water appeared at the 'Oscars of the Water Industry' and successfully won the first Golden Man in the history of Chinese water, and also won the honor of double Oscars."

Guan Ling said: "You take it as a kind of publicity, I take it as a different price."

Shang Wenjie quickly explained: "Director Guan is right, but I just meant to moisten Director Guan's throat."

"I will be hosting a report program in Chinese, English and French later. Can you please invite Director Guan to come and do me a favor?"

Guan Ling nodded, "But I don't want this mineral water, please replace it with Coca-Cola."

Guan Ling's answer to Shang Wenjie was that she couldn't do it. Her program was sponsored by the brand of mineral water. Director Guan asked her to change it to Coca-Cola, but that shouldn't be allowed, right? She felt very uncomfortable for a while.

Li Bingbing took the opportunity to chime in: "Director Guan, long time no see."

Ever since Li Bingbing apologized last time, Guan Ling has not had any connection with her, but he will definitely not give the role to her on his own initiative.

This made Li Bingbing always regret it.

Read more latest popular novels at 6.9*shuba!

In the past, the only female stars who could attend the Oscars were her and Zhang Ziyi.

The reason why she was invited this time was because she had a good cooperative relationship with Fox on "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan" last year. In fact, letting her come is both a gilding of her talent and an opportunity to try to discuss new cooperation.

But after Li Bingbing arrived, she found that no one paid much attention to her.

At this time, she realized even more clearly what a regrettable story it was that she had missed out on the opportunity with Director Guan.

Blame Huayi!!

Guan Ling nodded.

Li Bingbing took the initiative to continue: "Director Guan, I sincerely apologize to you again. As you know, I established my own studio two years ago and no longer cooperate with Huayi. Previously, I stood on Huayi's side mainly because of the contract. But I have always been looking forward to working with you. I have always respected you as a person."

"You don't have to put yourself down so low." Guan Ling said, "You still came to the Oscars without me."

"But I know that an invitation is only an invitation. Although I accepted the role in Resident Evil 5, I have already regressed a lot compared to Fan Bingbing and others." Li Bingbing raised his head, "As long as Director Guan is willing to give me a chance, I can give my all and play a supporting role for Liu Yifei and others. It's not impossible."

Li Bingbing's words surprised Shang Wenjie a little.

Guan Ling turned his head and looked at Li Bingbing. He also knew that with Li Bingbing's personality, it was already quite humble for him to say these things to him in front of outsiders.

"There's a chance."

Guan Ling didn't refuse and gave him some time to wait.

But as to when, Guan Ling had no answer, and he didn't have the time to help Li Bingbing think of a suitable role.

I can only say that if you encounter it, it’s not impossible.

……

At the Oscars dinner.

James Wan finally arrived.

Along with James Wan, the crew of "Aquaman" also came. Warner Bros. invited the crew of "Aquaman" to promote the movie this time, mainly for the upcoming release of the movie.

As for James Wan and the "Aquaman" crew, they are more aware that the screenwriter of this movie is Guan.

So he ran to Guan Ling to pay his respects at the mountain gate.

"Guan, this is Jason, and this is Amber." James Wan introduced the actors who played Aquaman and Aquaman.

Then he introduced himself to Amber, "Amber, Guan specifically chose you to play this role."

Amber has fair and translucent skin, blonde hair, blue eyes, and three-dimensional facial features, just like a character from a comic book.

The delicate and cold facial features are indescribably clear and vivid, especially the eyes, which are full of tenderness and make them even more brilliant.

Her skin was as white as snow with a slight red in the middle, and her face was so beautiful that it was simply a masterpiece of art carefully carved by God.

The ceiling of appearance!

Hormone maker!

She is worthy of being the woman that the later American capital reform chairman will never forget.

Guan Ling even felt that she was more beautiful than Black Widow.

But at that time, the Queen of the Sea had not yet made her famous, and not many people paid enough attention to her.

Naturally, the two so-called big names, Depp and Musk, have not been fooled by her.

She lowered her head slightly and bowed to Guan Ling to express her gratitude. At the moment she lowered her head, her half-chested dress could not completely hide the heat on her chest.

Guan Ling lowered his head slightly to take a look, and happened to see Amber looking up, and their eyes met.

Amber had a smile on her lips.

She knows that she is beautiful, and she knows even more that her beauty is her weapon.

And it is obvious that this youngest film company boss to win an Oscar, this screenwriter who allowed himself to star in big-budget heroic films, seems to have his own weapon pointed at his head at this moment.

Not far away, Zhang Ziyi looked at Amber, then looked at himself, and left in shame.

Fan Bingbing was not willing to be outdone, but even she had to admit that this woman was truly beautiful.

Bright and elegant, she is simply the American version of Fan Bingbing.

She was a little worried that Director Guan might not be able to control himself, so it depended on whether the woman wanted to come to him on her own initiative.

But she didn't dare say anything yet.

She couldn't control this woman, nor could she control Director Guan, so she could only let it go. She decided not to go look for Director Guan tonight. Otherwise, if she was caught, Director Guan would kick her out. That would be so embarrassing!

"I'm still not confident..."

When Fan Bingbing lowered his head, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be a little... inferior? He was actually afraid of being kicked out?
After paying homage to the crew of "Aquaman", Guan Ling found that Amber's eyes were constantly being cast towards him.

He was not willing to be outdone.

He responded back with a rather sharp tone.

Amber Hale is not a very popular female star nowadays. If Guan Ling hadn't pulled her out of a B-level movie like "Drive" to star in "Aquaman", she would probably not have had such good resources in the past few years.

So naturally, Guan Ling had nothing to worry about.

Besides, even if she is very famous, she is just an actress.

As their eyes exchanged, both sides seemed to have an answer.

……

The night finally fell.

in the hotel.

Amber put on delicate and sexy makeup and went out.

Along the way, many men's eyes followed Amber.

Many women's eyes were also full of vigilance.

But unfortunately, in the hotel in Oscar's place, people found that they didn't know this person very well.

It seems that it is not very popular.

So people don’t really care.

Finally, she had a clear goal and soon arrived at Guan Ling's door. Amber knocked on the door.

Guan Ling looked through the peephole and saw a very familiar face.

Just now at the dinner, the two sides had already fought several times.

But Guan Ling still didn't quite understand the meaning of Amber Heard knocking on the door.

"Is something wrong?"

Guan Ling opened the door and invited Amber in.

Looking up and down, Guan Ling found that Amber was wearing a pink sweater, which gave her a very pure look.

But after coming in, she took off her pink coat and revealed a black suspender top underneath. Her slightly smaller figure could not support her beauty, but her curves were still quite charming.

"I'm going to see if there's a red sofa in Guan's room."

Amber smiled and went straight to the point.

Then she sat on Guan Ling's lap.

She exhaled and said, "Director Guan was looking at me just now. Wasn't it because he wanted to see me?"

She spread her hands to indicate please feel free to do as you please.

So Guan Ling quickly took off her clothes and began to examine her repeatedly, trying to understand the mysteries of her body.
