China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

"You have arranged everything for others, can you arrange something for me?"

After Guan Ling hung up the phone, Liu Yifei looked up at Guan Ling.

"of course."

Guan Ling held up Liu Yifei's little face and said, "You can arrange it however you want."

To be honest, after being taught a lesson by her mother many times, Liu Yifei felt that her mentality had become very strong. Even now, when she heard Guan Ling's blunt words, her facial expression did not change at all.

It seems that verbal shock is not enough.

"Do you expect the movie Aquaman to have a high box office?"

Liu Yifei asked him, still somewhat curious about superhero movies.

"It should be OK. The main reason is that I expect this movie to be a global box office success," said Guan Ling.

"Speaking of which, I really don't know if Chinese-language films can reap box office success around the world." Liu Yifei fancied, "I hope I can make a Chinese-language blockbuster someday that can also reap box office success around the world."

Liu Yifei had just mentioned it casually, but Guan Ling took it seriously and said with a smile, "It will happen."

"I'm looking forward to it." Liu Yifei shook her head up and down.

"Me too."

Guan Ling stroked the top of Liu Yifei's head.

"Do you know that fantasy novels and Xianxia novels are very popular in our country now?" Guan Ling suddenly asked, but his hand was always on Liu Yifei's head. "It's like this, the immortal touches my head, and I will be immortal after I get married."

"What do you mean? This seems to be a poem by Li Bai. I feel like I've heard it before."

Liu Yifei tilted her head to give a girlfriend's perspective, her eyes sparkling and lively.

"Great... Siha, you are such a good girl who loves reading," Guan Ling couldn't help but praise her and gave her a thumbs up. "What I mean is that you reminded me that if our Chinese films want to reap box office success around the world, there are some things that need to be planned early."

Liu Yifei's eyes were still somewhat confused.

But Guan Ling was full of ideas at this moment. His brain was responsible for the ideas, while other parts of his body were responsible for the flow of ideas.

In the past, around 2013, Chinese online literature began to rapidly expand overseas. It first became popular in Southeast Asia, and then gradually expanded in scale. With the help of overseas translation websites, Chinese online literature was spread to European and American countries in a faster and more convenient way, entering the English-speaking world.

And achieved a revenue scale of more than 5 billion,
This seems low, even lower than the box office of a movie starring Guan Ling, but it continues to grow at a rate of about 8%.

But what’s important is that even in the time period when Guan Ling traveled through time in his previous life, the radiation area has basically covered the entire world. The most popular places are Southeast Asia, South Africa and North America. The influence is quite large, and it basically occupies the first place in the local novel-related lists.

Moreover, some of the popular film and television works in China, such as "Joy of Life", "Ever Night", "Devouring the Stars" and other fantasy fairy tale works, are also continuing to make efforts overseas and have achieved very strong results.

But now is different from the previous life.

Guan Ling has Hollywood resources.

With the filming of "Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch" completed, Guan Ling can completely adapt China's most popular novel into a movie, and then test the waters overseas.

In terms of plot, Guan Ling does not think that the plot of any Chinese work is worse than that of overseas works. In terms of the grandeur of the scenes, in Guan Ling's opinion, overseas works have even less competitiveness.

How the hell did Optimus Prime transform? No matter how powerful you are as a superhero, can you be as shocking as me, the Nine Dragons Pulling the Coffin?!

Just one Great Dao Emperor Soldier could suppress them completely and make them unable to make a single sound.

But the problem lies in the preparation. This matter needs to be done step by step, but it cannot be ignored. Moreover, with the resources Guan Ling now has in Hollywood, it can be done as a fun thing first. Once successful, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

Moreover, China has too many IPs. Guan Ling has already obtained IPs such as "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Three-Body Problem".

Now that he has been involved in the filming of movies such as "Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch", Guan Ling feels that some things can be started.

With the current level of Hollywood's film industry, "The Three-Body Problem" can be filmed.

Guan Ling had watched the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" produced by Tencent Video in the previous life, and felt that it was better than the one produced by Netflix. This was enough to prove that as long as Lao Kong was not the screenwriter, the Chinese people could produce good works.

Thinking of this, Guan Ling couldn't help but continue patting Liu Yifei on the head.

"You are awesome. If it weren't for you, I would have almost forgotten these works."

"Ahem, stop filming me."

Liu Yifei glared at Guan Ling.

After a while, Liu Yifei was tired and Guan Ling's thoughts also finished.

After a while, perhaps because Guan Ling's talent was too dazzling, Liu Yifei exclaimed and bowed down.

……

In March, the weather in the United States is still very cold.

But Liu Yifei felt very hot, hot everywhere.

She was sweating a lot, just like when she was exercising normally.

Anyway, Liu Yifei didn't care and chatted with Guan Ling about the latest gossip in China.

During this period, the most popular star in China is neither Yang Mi nor Liu Sisi. Although these two became extremely popular at the end of last year thanks to many film and television works and "Startling by Each Step".

But it was overwhelmed by the subsequent popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Since March, many TV stations have collectively started broadcasting "The Legend of Zhen Huan", making Empress Sun the female star with the highest ratings for a time, and aroused collective praise from the industry.

Secondly, Tang Wei’s return to China also shocked everyone.

After being soft-banned, Tang Wei directly caused a major reform of the Korean system because of filming "The Crucible" in South Korea. After filming his second movie "Late Autumn" in South Korea this year, he also announced his official return to the Chinese entertainment industry. This drama has also been introduced to the mainland and will be released in China on March 3.

It was basically announced that nothing happened to Tang Wei.

But her status at this time is still very high, which is completely different from her previous life.

She is one of the most popular female stars.

After all, there are too few female stars who can make a big splash in Korea.

In addition, Guli Nazha has taken on a number of jobs this year due to the popularity of "The Beginning".

Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi accompanied Guan Ling on a trip to Hollywood and Germany, and the popularity was quite good.

Zhou Xun won most Best Actress awards. Although her starring film "The Great Magician" suffered a Waterloo during the Lunar New Year holiday, she was still nominated for the Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards. She has also begun to settle down and actively direct micro-films. Her first micro-film "Five Elements Conquering the Demons" starring Liang Chaowei has been released, and the second one is being planned.

But judging from her expression, she still wants to take on art films recently.

She also received an invitation to star in a Hollywood science fiction movie. Although she seems to be hidden among the hottest actresses, it is more like an active accumulation.

The upcoming release of "Love in a Puff" does have some popularity, but Yang Mi is no longer in this drama. Huang Xiaoming and Xu Zheng do make cameo appearances instead.

Liu Yifei counted on her fingers and said a few words, and Guan Ling roughly understood what she said.

"You mean, your fever has decreased?"

"I don't really care about the heat, I just want a doll."

I really can't get along with my children.

Guan Ling smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you."

Liu Yifei suddenly said, "By the way, someone handed me a script these days. It's directed by Zhao Linshan, and asked me to shoot an ancient costume epic movie. Do you think I should take it? My opponent is Zhou Runfa."

"What drama?"

Guan Ling asked,

"Tongquetai," Liu Yifei said, "I read the script, it's a little bit explicit."

“Is it as big as Taken?”

"'Taken' is nothing, it's all glass, you can't see anything, you just saw everything yourself." Liu Yifei said, "But this movie will probably require showing shoulders, wearing tube tops, and being naked from behind, I want to ask for your opinion."

"Wearing a tube top? And naked?" Guan Ling frowned, remembering the content of the movie. This movie caused quite a bit of controversy because of Liu Yifei. There seemed to be a patch of white buttocks in the plot. Even Liu Yifei was called a jade girl turned into a bathing girl by some media.

Some people say that this movie is r-oriented.

In the end, the box office was a mess, and the film ended up losing 50 million RMB.

Guan Ling said coldly,
"No, if you really want to make a movie, I'll put that love movie on the agenda."

“But production still needs to be done.”

"No delay. I'll be a supervisor on X-Men: The Job. Comedies don't take too long to shoot, and there are only a few people in a new movie, so it won't take too long."

"What about the script? When can you show it to me?" Seeing that the important work was done, the two of them started talking about other important matters.

"I have already written it for you."

Guan Ling called her assistant, and soon after, a script was sent to Guan Ling's computer, and then Guan Ling sent it to Liu Yifei.
Liu Yifei looked at the words above and fell into deep thought.

"Time Traveler"!
This is a movie that was released in the UK in the previous life. The global box office was less than 1 million US dollars, but the male and female protagonists were not very popular.

There is still some gap between her and Liu Yifei's current global fame.

This is a love movie, but also a fantasy movie. It has a Douban score of 8.8 and is recognized as a movie that makes many people cry to death.

At first, people thought this was a time-travel work with a sci-fi twist.

Then people will find out that this is a comedy feature film with super powers.

I only realized it was a romance film after watching it further, and later I found out it was a romance film!
If every line in the film is omitted, it will be a completely incomprehensible movie.

But in essence, this movie is a healing film full of warmth.

Liu Yifei sat on Guan Ling and began to look at it carefully.

Guan Ling put his arms around Liu Yifei's slender waist and slowly rubbed her body.

After looking for a while, Liu Yifei's eyes became moist. She turned to look at Guan Ling with a look full of surprise.

"If you had this superpower, would you do this?"

"of course."

Guan Ling nodded.

If Guan Ling traveled through time, he would certainly be willing to do many things to prevent Liu Yifei from crying.

But he also didn't want to make others cry, such as Bingbing, Mimi, Sisi, Tingting...

Of course they insisted on crying, and Guan Ling had no choice.

Liu Yifei kissed Guan Ling's face like a chick pecking at rice, and was very satisfied with Guan Ling's answer.

Then there was a passionate scene in the script. Liu Yifei blushed and looked at Guan Ling.

"This is much more ambitious than The Tower of Bronze Sparrow."

"We won't show this part, and we won't let others film it. When the time comes, we'll both wear the clothes from the plot of this drama, and I'll take the film myself." Guan Ling said.

Liu Yifei's face turned red instantly. "What are you talking about? I dare not. If you lose your phone, I will be finished."

Guan Ling was just teasing her and didn't say anything else after hearing this.

When this drama was released in the previous life, a lot of cuts were made. It is said that even how the child was born during the original filming was filmed.

Guan Ling's role in this scene was originally reserved for Liu Yifei, and since this drama is going to be filmed, Guan Ling is not going to give the male lead role to anyone else, so it is normal to add a little more scenes to it.

It's just right to use public resources for personal purposes.

Appreciate your own masterpiece.

To be honest, the camera is a public property, but Guan Ling used it for personal purposes, and Guan Ling also used it as a public property, but Liu Yifei used it for personal purposes, so the two of them are actually the same.

By the time she saw the end, Liu Yifei could no longer stop crying.

“This script is really good.”

"Don't believe their epic blockbusters, they're all terrible." Guan Ling said, "Sun Honglei's Warring States was released last year, and he still hasn't recovered from it. A few days ago, he went to shoot Wild Stories with Ning Hao, and when he saw Jingtian, he sent me a text message saying he was almost scared to death."

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Then I will go back and reject it."

"Come to think of it, we are quite destined to be together."

Liu Yifei said, "When you first filmed a movie, we had just gotten to know each other. You filmed "The Uninvited Visitors". I didn't know you well before that. It was your first time as an actor, both an actor and a director, and you also won the Golden Horse Award for Supporting Actor, right?"

"Yes." Guan Ling said, "I haven't filmed a movie for a long time."

"You've made cameo appearances before, but never as the lead actor. Would you be unhappy if I asked you to play this role?"

"Of course not." Guan Ling said, "I am happy to do so. And you may not know until now that the filming of my first movie was inseparable from the money you lent me."

"Ah?" Liu Yifei was really confused.

Guan Ling said: "Without your start-up capital, I can't be a director."

"How much is that? Don't try to fool me."

"Really." Guan Ling looked sincere.

"Then I am still your major shareholder?" Liu Yifei really believed it now.

Guan Ling held Liu Yifei and nodded up and down, "Yes, you are a big move."

……

In life, the worst thing to do is to speak deeply to someone you just met, so Guan Ling's words were very sincere and profound, truly living up to the principle of speaking deeply to someone you're deeply connected to.

I discussed "Time Traveler" with Liu Yifei for a long time, and finally convinced her.
Both were very excited.

I was shaking with excitement.

……

The publicity for "Hot Pot Heroes" has made it the first blockbuster expected to be released in theaters in March, and many theaters believe that this movie can keep them half full.

That's about enough.

After all, Director Guan fed us too much during the Lunar New Year period.

After discussing the script with Liu Yifei, Guan Ling called Fang Ping.

"Mr. Fang, go ask Qidian Chinese Network if they are for sale."

"Boss, are you planning to build a complete industry chain?" Fang Ping asked. "I'll go ask later, but I'm unlikely to be able to compete with those Internet giants."

"Then we should strike first," Guan Ling thought for a moment and said, "Four or five hundred million dollars is acceptable. At most, we can make a few more blockbuster movies. At worst, we can get the copyright of the most popular film and television works first."

"Our marketing department has been tracking the copyright market." Fang Ping was frightened when he heard Guan Ling's words, and reported, "We just need to wait for Director Guan's signature before we can make the final decision."

"well done."

Guan Ling praised Fang Ping, and when Fang Ping hung up the phone, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Four or five hundred million dollars is acceptable, and at worst we can just make a few more blockbuster movies.

Do you listen to what others say?
……

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling thought about it again.

If they really want to acquire Qidian Chinese Network, it would cost at least tens of billions, which is a lot of money, and Lingyun Media is not listed yet.

Although Guan Ling is definitely worth tens of billions, he does feel a bit pressured.

It is necessary to put IPO on the agenda.

It was being prepared for release right after Inception, but because the Japanese accused Guan Ling of plagiarism, the schedule had to be temporarily suspended.

Now that "The Wind Rises" has broken China's highest box office record, with the release of "Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch" movies, it can be prepared for listing.

This will be of great help for subsequent capital layout.

Guan Ling notified Fang Ping and informed the company's senior executives of the matter, asking the company to release the 2012 film list in an effort to add fuel to the not-so-hot entertainment industry.

"it is good."

Four days before the release of "Hot Pot Heroes", on March 4, Lingyun Media released the overall list of major dramas for Lingyun and Motian Lingyun in 3, which instantly caused a huge wave in the originally calm film market.

Except for "Hot Pot Heroes", the remaining movies gave people a huge spiritual shock.

Movie list content:

"Along with the Gods", starring Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Zhang Shi, and Zhao Xiaodao, has wrapped up filming and is expected to be released during the summer.

"Gone Girl", starring Mark Wahlberg and Zhang Ziyi, has wrapped filming and the release date is yet to be determined.

"Aquaman", starring Momoa and Amber, has wrapped up filming and is expected to be released in April.

"Scarlet Witch", starring Fan Bingbing, is a superhero blockbuster, in post-production.

"Uncharted", starring Cheng Long and Zhu Yawen, is currently filming.

"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", a Hong Kong movie, has started filming.

"Ip Man 3", starring Zhao Wenzhuo and others, is in preparation for filming.

"Chinese Partners", starring Huang Xiaoming and others, is about to start filming.

"Your Name", an animated film, is being produced by Hunan Hongmeng.

"In the Dark", an animated film, is in preparation for filming.

"Frozen", an animated film, is being prepared and produced in Hollywood and the script has been registered.

The new film "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" co-produced with director Zhang Yimou is in preparation.

After all these were listed, people were confused for a moment.

Too much.

But what shocked the industry the most was far from these.

After the list of blockbuster films, Director Guan also released some new news and even posted it on Weibo personally.

"To strongly support Chinese-language films and fulfill the dreams of my fans, I have decided to support two new film scripts. I will star in the first one myself, fulfilling the love movie I promised everyone in Painted Skin 2, Time Traveler, starring Liu Yifei.

As for the second part, due to the recent online war of words that occupied social resources, I decided to support a movie from the Hong Kong circle. The movie is a new type of science fiction, and the tentative title is,
"Hong Kong Trip!"

After Guan Ling forwarded Lingyun Media's blockbuster list and posted a three-point Weibo post,
For a moment, Weibo was paralyzed! (End of this chapter)
