China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Wan Qian was sitting on the company's leather sofa with her legs closed at her sides, but at this moment she suddenly closed her legs tighter and was quite nervous for a moment.

Suddenly, a strange emotion poured into her head.

Her crying just now stopped immediately.

Wan Qian's legs are as good as those of a model, slender, straight, but very muscular, just like the legs in the comics. In her previous life, in "Sisters Riding the Wind and Waves", she swept the sisters with just her pair of beautiful legs.

At this moment, Wan Qian's legs looked even more slender and delicate.

When Wan Qian heard the words "Director Guan", she didn't know why, but Guan Ling's name suddenly popped up in her mind.

Then I felt my legs tighten slightly, emotions surged involuntarily, and my ears stood up!
"Who?"

Fu Zhuoyu was a little confused, "Whose assistant?"

"Director Guan." The young assistant said again, pointing to the mobile phone, indicating that the person on the other end had not hung up the call yet.

"Guan Ling?"

These two words suddenly popped up in Fu Zhuoyu's mind.

The assistant nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Fu Zhuoyu immediately picked up the phone, "Hello! Director Guan?"

"Are you Wan Qian?"

Assistant Guan Ling's voice came out, and Fu Zhuoyu quickly said, "No, I'm Wan Qian's agent Fu Zhuoyu."

The other end simply hummed, and then Fu Zhuoyu heard a voice from the phone, "Director Guan, Wan Qian's agent answered the phone."

Then a familiar voice was heard.

Fu Zhuoyu had heard this voice many times before, at various award ceremonies and in various interviews, but she had never had the opportunity to talk to the other party.

"Hello, Manager Fu. I'm Guan Ling."

"Hello, Director Guan." After Fu Zhuoyu finished greeting him, he suddenly felt dry in the mouth. The phone was put on hold and he didn't even dare to breathe.

"I have a role here and would like to contact Wan Qian."

Guan Ling asked, "Does Wan Qian have any schedule later?"

"If it's Director Guan's role, she must have the time."

Fu Zhuoyu said, "I will follow Director Guan's instructions at any time."

"Okay, let's choose her." Guan Ling nodded, "Is Wan Qian here?"

"Director Guan, I'm here."

Wan Qian responded softly at Fu Zhuoyu's eye contact.

"Wan Qian, I really approve of your acting skills." Guan Ling said, "But the next play involves some theoretical knowledge of forensic medicine, so my suggestion to you is to find a professional to learn from you, which will help you better understand the script. It will take about a month.

Agent Fu, is there any problem with you contacting Wan Qian?"

"no problem."

"Okay, let's find someone to sign the contract later." Guan Ling's voice was short and powerful, which confused the two of them.

"Director Guan, don't I need to audition? Just get the role right away? Or in other words, don't I need to give anything more?" Wan Qian had been immersed in the emotion that the previous director had mentioned about sleeping with someone. She had an impatient temper, and asked the question that was on her mind right away.

"What do you want to pay?" Guan Ling asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Director Guan. Wan Qian was just too surprised and couldn't hold back. It's not easy to sign a contract for a play before."

"clear."

Guan Ling didn't dwell on this too much, but said: "My phone call to you means that I think you can play my role. If you want to play it and I want to choose you, we can sign the contract. What's the problem?"

"no problem."

Wan Qian's father was a military man and had been quite strict with her since she was a child. Hearing Guan Ling's decisive words, Wan Qian suddenly felt a sense of familiarity as if she was facing a domineering CEO.

"That's no problem." Guan Ling said, "I'll wait for you in the capital."

"Thank you, Director Guan. I will be there as soon as possible."

"By the way," Guan Ling said, "I read the news and know that your recent movie 'Liu Rushi' didn't do well at the box office, but that's not important. You have to act well in this movie and do your best. After I give you the script, if there are any unclear details, you can always ask me."

"Because of this play, you can be among the top stars."

beep.

The call was disconnected.

Only Fu Zhuoyu and Wan Qian were left sitting in the room, looking at each other.

Both of them were numb.

"What the hell?" Fu Zhuoyu glanced at Wan Qian, confused. "When did you submit your resume to Lingyun Media? I didn't submit your resume to the new company."

"No." Wan Qian also swallowed her saliva. She didn't know what was going on.

"This pie just fell on your head for no reason?"

Fu Zhuoyu still found it a little unbelievable. "Director Guan has many actresses under his wing, but I don't think it makes sense to choose you for this role."

Wan Qian's mouth twitched.

Obviously, there is no need to be so tactful when speaking to one's own people, just be straightforward.

As an actor, I know best how difficult it is to act in Director Guan’s movies, because any movie with Director Guan’s name on it is an S-level resource!

It will make countless stars scramble for it!
And the call they just received was no different from winning the lottery!
Both of them were extremely stunned and felt it was incredible.

"Let's not talk about this for now. The longer the night, the more trouble we will have. Let's fly over there quickly in the next two days."

Fu Zhuoyu was able to become the director of an agency and is also a decisive person.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Zhuoyu said, "In order to ensure that the contract is signed smoothly, I will contact a forensic doctor for you as soon as possible. Before we go to Beijing, you need to make all the arrangements for the courses. Everything will be based on Director Guan's schedule. If he needs two months, you will study for two months. If he needs half a year, you will study for half a year. If there are no acting offers in between, you should continue to perform in dramas to hone your acting skills."

"Are you not going to take any acting jobs for a while?" Wan Qian asked.

"I have a lot of other acting contracts lined up for the future. The one I'm going to star in with Aaron Kwok, "Christmas Rose", the urban emotional drama "Little Children Are Hard to Raise" directed by director Cao Dun, in which I also have a role as a tattoo artist, and the urban love TV series "Flowers Are Not Flowers, Fog Is Not Fog" that I'm going to star in with Ruby Lin and others..."

"You're still reluctant to give up? I'll have a good talk with the other party about the current play and let you terminate the contract." Fu Zhuoyu said, "Now your roles are basically small supporting roles. Compared with Director Guan's plays, they are not important at all."

"We didn't ask Director Guan whether he would play the heroine in our play." Wan Qian suddenly remembered.

"Are you stupid?" Fu Zhuoyu said, "Director Guan said himself that this play will help you become a top star. Don't you understand?" Wan Qian was silent.

Regardless of whether she is the heroine or not, this promise is obviously much more reliable than the roles given by other directors.

"Even if I have to play the leading male role, I have to act." Wan Qian muttered to herself.

Now, all the previous emotions were released at once.

"Sister Fu, you said before that only by helping those who need help can you become the one who needs help. Now it seems that this statement is not so correct."

"Look at your ugly face." Fu Zhuoyu said, "Director Guan thinks highly of you, you should be grateful. Did you know that Zhou Xun and Huayi terminated their contract? I have learned the details. Director Guan just called Zhou Xun and said that there is a role for him and he will take him to one of the top three European theaters. He did not reveal the role, the ranking, or even the content of the script, and then he let Zhou Xun terminate his contract with Huayi.

Director Guan actually sent her to Cannes, and she became the Cannes Film Queen.

As for Mr. You Benchang, Director Guan also saw the old man's spirit and said he would take him to the Oscars for fun, and he actually went.

Fan Bingbing wants to go to Hollywood. Isn’t there a big drama starring a female lead in Hollywood? It just hasn’t been released yet.”

Fu Zhuoyu said, "If this circle is full of people who fish in muddy waters and cheat each other, then if there is anything that is real and effective, it is probably Director Guan's promise."

Wan Qian frowned and nodded softly.

"You have to seize the opportunity." Fu Zhuoyu said, "You have to let Director Guan see that you have something worthy of his investment. In this new company, Hai Lu may not be the top lady anymore."

Wan Qian didn't say anything, but suddenly she wanted to cry.

After living for thirty years, she found that she had suddenly met a true benefactor.

A long time ago, she once rejected a director's seven requests to sleep with her, and was completely banned because of this. She turned to drama and just made a comeback in the past two years. Unexpectedly, after playing a few small roles and the leading role in an art film, she was targeted by some directors again and made unreasonable demands.

She doesn't accept these things.

The education she received since childhood taught her to do what she wants to do and not to be threatened into doing things she doesn't want to do.

"Directors like Guan are the best. There's a reason why he can achieve such great success."

Wan Qian thought silently in her heart, "I've heard before that Director Guan has promoted many female stars and has been involved in many scandals, but he is a serious person. If I were to become a top star, I wouldn't even have the conditions to do so!"

If the world were full of directors like this, how wonderful the world would be!
That night, Wan Qian fell asleep peacefully, but she didn't sleep well because when she closed her eyes, her mind was full of Guan Ling.

I can’t tell if it was a dream or not.

Wan Qian silently told herself to be grateful.

Then I dreamed of the glamour of Zhou Xiu who won the Best Actress award at Cannes, the subtlety of You Benchang who won the Best Actor award at Cannes, the crowd of stars at the Oscars, and when my attention focused, I dreamed of Guan Ling's majestic figure standing on the podium.

He tilted his head slightly, his Adam's apple was under his tie, under the tie were his abdominal muscles, and under his abdominal muscles were...

"what!"

Wan Qian suddenly opened her eyes, clamped her legs tightly together, and felt the quilt was damp.

She blushed and was dumbfounded.

……

By early April, the box office of "Hot Pot Heroes" had exceeded 4 million yuan. This movie, which won the box office championship in March, seems to still have potential.

The comedy film "Lost on Road" directed by Guo Degang and others also kicked off the domestic film season in April.

However, the box office results were a bit pitiful, with only more than 6 million in the first three days. However, there was a surge in the second week, with the box office earning 20 million. It seems that it will be no problem for the total box office to exceed 30 million.

During this period, due to the compensatory rest period for the Qingming Festival holiday, there were seven working days a week, thus creating an "artificial off-season", but "Hot Pot Heroes" was not under much pressure.

Hollywood 3D fantasy film "Wrath of the Titans" made 4670 million in its first three days of release, becoming the number one victim of the "artificial off-season". It is even worse than "Clash of the Titans", the first film of this movie, which made 5400 million in its first week two years ago.

Among the six films introduced in the first quarter, "Wrath of the Titans" ranked second to last in its first week, but this was also because the last-to-last "Sherlock Holmes 2" was released on Sunday and had only one day in its first week.

But theaters are not sad because the upcoming Qingming Festival public holiday may bring a resurgence to the film.

The most popular movie at this time, in addition to "Hot Pot Heroes", is "John Carter" which ranks second. It has been released for nearly three weeks and has won 2.6 million box office. But its single-day box office performance fell to third place.

What is horrifying is that during the Qingming Festival, as the promotion of "Aquaman" intensified, "Hot Pot Heroes" was also encouraged and actually still won the first place in the single-day box office, which is shocking!
This is like Guan Ling has four twos and two kings in his hand, but has not played them yet, and has only played what outsiders think of as a three.

But others still can't afford it.

Even Tang Wei's new film "Late Autumn" has broken the box office record of 80 million, and even surpassed the imported action films "Sword of the King" and "Iron Blood Elite".

Why did this Korean film achieve such success? In fact, most people know that it is because of Tang Wei. And why Tang Wei can return to the mainland is because of "The Crucible". In the final analysis, it can still be traced back to Guan Ling.

The second most popular domestic film is "Love in a Puff". The Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday has just ended and the box office of this film has reached more than 40 million. The off-season of spring has fattened up a dark horse.

The domestic suspense film "Embroidered Shoes" was the biggest winner among low-budget movies, earning 2410 million in box office in five days, even better than "The Big Chase" starring Zha Zha Hui and Simon Yam.

But these off-season news are unlikely to shake people's hearts.

Especially since several big directors have movies coming out this year, everyone just laughs at the current results.

It’s just that Yang Qing’s path to advancement makes many people jealous.

Lu Chuan really didn't expect that Yang Qing's road to success would become a topic for the tabloid media to attack him.

During this period, the media found a topic to talk about due to the news from their crew that the filming of "The Banquet" would be postponed.

The emergence of a lot of news made Lu Chuan feel that he was being targeted.

"Director Yang Qing's Hot Pot Heroes grossed over 4 million yuan. Have the likes of Lu Chuan been relegated to the back burner?"

"The Banquet of Kings continues to be postponed and may not be released during the summer!"

"When Director Guan started filming, Lu Chuan had already won an award at the Beijing University Student Film Festival with his plagiarized film "Kekexili". When the younger brother trained by Director Guan won a box office of 400 million, I wonder if Lu Chuan would cry?"

"You tm..."

Lu Chuan smashed the computer at home and cursed a lot, with a lot of curse words against his mother.

After a few drinks, Lu Chuan became more and more speechless.

Jiang Yiyan stroked Lu Chuan's heart and said, "Don't be angry. Actually, they are not targeting you. They just happened to be looking for a topic when we have news. There is no need to be too angry. When "The Banquet" is released, our box office will definitely surpass Yang Qing's."

"You're right." Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes. "I'm going to schedule The Banquet for the Lunar New Year. I don't know if Guan Ling will have any new movies by then, but it's just a matter of rolling up your sleeves. Whoever is cowardly is a grandson."

"I just like Director Lu's temperament."

Lu Chuan was coaxed by Jiang Yiyan and got a little carried away. He was also very angry, so he posted a message on Weibo.

"Is the movie "Hot Pot Heroes" really good? With the huge reputation of Guan Ling and Lingyun Media, this low-quality suspense crime comedy was able to get a higher box office than "Crazy Stone" and dominate the Chinese film market. This is a cultural tragedy in itself."

Then, the circle exploded! (End of this chapter)
