China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 53 Is Guan Lingjiang exhausted?

Throughout July and August, Guan Ling has been traveling between the United States and China.

In the editing of "Hearing Girl", Guan Ling re-adjusted some parts, and in the end it was not much different from the original version in my memory.

As for the songs, Guan Ling wanted them to be aesthetically pleasing, so Liu Yifei didn’t need to sing them herself. Then she would just dub them and match the lip-sync.

So there is no need for Liu Yifei to come to the United States again.

In terms of music, Guan Ling spent a lot of effort to ensure that it is exactly the same as the original version.

At the end of July, "Hearing Girl" was completely completed, and Guan Ling returned to China with the finished film.

As for "Shark Beach", we are still in the process of crazy special effects at this time. Shark special effects are easy to make, but how to make the realism between sharks and seawater, seawater and Liu Yan more obvious when doing special effects, is a technology. Work can't be done in a hurry.

It still takes a month to complete the special effects.

China Film, screening room.

Guan Ling brought back "Hearing Girl" worth US$750 million.

Mr. Han specially put on a new Chinese tunic suit that he had not worn for a long time. Yu Dong was also sitting upright in the screening room.

Waiting to see Guan Ling's first near-big-budget production.

Guan Ling has made a total of four movies so far.

The first part, The Uninvited Guest, cost 280 million and had a box office of over 4000 million.

The second part, The Devotion of Suspect X, cost 2000 million and had a domestic box office of 7000 million.

It is very stable, doubling by more than ten times, not to mention the benefits such as copyright.

Therefore, everyone has high expectations for Guan Ling's new movie, which is worth US$750 million, which is close to 7000 million yuan.

The movie opens with a sea, the waves are rolling up, and the waves are crashing on the shore. The sound of the waves is so refreshing. Then, a melodious English song is heard, and a fishing boat appears in the field of vision.

This is a very long shot that brings a family to the audience in the form of sound.

Liu Yifei, who plays Ruby, is singing songs and fishing.

Her family, all foreigners, are also fishing and laughing. The scene is very warm.

However, they are all deaf-mute.Because they can only communicate through sign language.

"The word "hearing" for a hearing girl is immediately highlighted. The pace is very fast."

When I read the script, I had one feeling, but when I read it, I had another feeling. Mr. Han felt deeply about the beauty of this scene.

The movie was easy to understand. The two of them just sat there and watched it. Mr. Han squinted his eyes. In fact, although he did not have the position of chairman, he was a deputy director and had great power. He thought he understood movies. But at the beginning, he only felt beautiful and had no other feelings.

Yu Dong has also been involved in the film industry for many years, and he didn't feel surprised after watching the beginning.

It's just a very plain, straightforward story telling.

Looking back, the two of them looked at each other a few times. This seemed to be an ordinary musical, with nothing exciting. It had some parts that made people smile and some that moved them, but it was really worth the price. ?

Both were suspicious.

Then Ruby began to pursue her dream. She wanted to go to college and get a degree in music.

The conflict between the girl and her family appeared, which the two of them had seen in the script, but when they saw the conflict, when the two parties communicated, and the emotions expressed in sign language, both Han Sanye and Yu Dong suddenly became excited.

As if his whole body was shocked by electricity, Yu Dong suddenly became excited. He looked at the big screen in the screening room as if in a daze, and his eyes widened suddenly!
"This is a genius idea!"

In fact, he didn't know the specific reason. Among the very ordinary stories, he suddenly felt a bit of coldness in those ordinary stories!That feeling is simply unparalleled.

Then there will be constant sign language conflicts and dream collisions. In such a family, what choice will Ruby make?

Yu Dong found himself immersed in it, and he wanted to know the ending.

At this moment, Yu Dong couldn't help but slap his thigh, because the movie revealed warmth in all aspects, but in the warmth, it gave the audience a fatal blow.

At that moment of silence, he even stood up involuntarily.

"Gao Ming." The expression on Yu Dong's face was a bit complicated, and he couldn't help but spit out two words!

What happened to petty bourgeoisie literary films?
What happened to the musical?
What’s wrong with not having too much conflict?
When the movie reaches an emotional climax, a question that everyone will face appears at the core of the movie. Children want to pursue their dreams and leave home, and what family needs them to choose?
This seemingly very literary movie, when Liu Yifei said, "I have been working as an interpreter all my life, I am exhausted!" Even a big man like Yu Dong couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes.

Knowing that Guan Ling was going to compete for Oscars with this movie, Mr. Han watched it very seriously.

After watching it all, Mr. Han had to admit that although this is not a commercial blockbuster, it will definitely be recognized by most people. It is a chicken soup for the soul, and the chicken soup is rich in flavor and makes people have to drink it.

"This movie is very good. When are you going to release it?"

"If I don't do it first, I'll do "Shark Beach" first. I feel like I can handle it completely in late August."

"Then it's up to you. If you need China Film to run something in the United States, just tell me directly." Guan Ling wants to win the prize. At least at the jury level, China Film can breathe with those who have worked with it. .

"Bona will also help Guan Dao operate."

Yu Dong also expressed his approval of the movie.

But he is not sure whether he will be able to recover his money in the end. A good movie is indeed a good movie, but it doesn't look like it will sell out at the box office. It depends on how the copyright is earned.But Guan Ling didn't give out much of the copyright.

Good movies don’t necessarily make money.This is something Dong Xin knows well.

Now there is a tense situation between Huayi and Guan Ling. In the future, Guan Ling's movies will provide Bona with many opportunities to make money, so Yu Dong is not in a hurry.

…………

The whole August was spent busy again, and I went back to Nortel in the middle.

Everyone else had graduated, but Guan Ling was different. He didn't go to defend himself and just postponed his graduation.

This time I went back through the process.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, the graduate tutor, brought the thesis to Guan Ling and said, "You are quite capable. You are traveling back and forth in the United States. I asked me to find someone to write your graduation thesis for you."

"Isn't this busy?" Guan Ling smiled shyly.

"Although Nortel doesn't care whether you write a thesis or not, you still have to go through the process to save your face, otherwise it will appear that domestic academics are irregular." Tian Zhuangzhuang considered it, and then asked, "What's going on with you and Huayi?"

There has been more and more news between Huayi and Guan Ling recently. After Guan Ling made the announcement at the Shanghai International Film Festival, Huayi’s artist signings have come to a halt.

After all, there is only Feng Xiaogang as a director. No matter how many artists sign, he still has to consider whether he can be praised!

Recently, artists at Huayi have been banned from talking about Guan Ling, and the media has sniffed out some interesting signs.

Someone at Huayi also dug up Guan Ling's new movie and claimed that China Film only invested 500 million. In the past, great directors could only invest so little.

A lot of people are talking about it in the circle recently, so it’s normal for Nortel to know about it.

"My new movie is specially made for them." Guan Ling began to study the essay he wrote. What a shame, Guan Ling got a headache just looking at it. I really don't know who wrote it. It's amazing.

"Come back to me if you have anything." Tian Zhuangzhuang hummed. At this time, he would not ask Guan Ling the reason. He only needed to let Guan Ling know that Beidian was on his side.

The graduation thesis was completed quite quickly.

In mid-August, "Shark Beach" was completed.

This month, Emperor and Huayi's new movie "Baby Project" began to be heavily promoted online. The schedule has been adjusted from September 9 to September 24, and it is bound to hit the box office during the National Day.

The review of China Film and Shark Beach Films was completed. After watching the finished film, Guan Ling also selected September 9th.

When China Film announced the release date of Guan Ling's new movie, public opinion on the Internet was immediately in an uproar.

Is there any revenge?
This is a direct sniper!

"The whereabouts of "Hearing Girl" have not yet been found. Guan Ling's new film will be released ahead of schedule and will be released on the same day as Huayi's "Baby Project". What is the reason behind this?"

"Huayi and Guan Ling have a grudge, this is a direct confrontation!"

"According to the reporter's investigation, the investment in "Project Baby" reached 1.3 million yuan, while the cost of "Shark Beach" was less than 1000 million. The competitive relationship hyped online is purely false. The goal of "Project Baby" is to surpass the box office of "Suspect"!"

"It's another bundled marketing. After "The Suspect" was bundled with "The Da Vinci Code" and achieved a box office of [-] million, Guan Ling has come up with a new strategy, using a low-cost movie to bundle Brother Cheng Long's new movie. Director Guan, what's the point? Can you take the right path?"

Cheng Long and Gao Yuanyuan have been constantly promoting their new movies.

Huayi and Emperor also began to choose to get close to the media and attack Guan Ling.

Since Guan Ling took the initiative to declare war, Huayi had no reason to avoid war.

end of August.

"Baby Project" is scheduled to hold a large-scale premiere event in BJ on September 9.

But "Shark Beach" has no movement at all.

"When will the premiere be held?" Han Sanye called Guan Ling, "If we don't promote it, the effect will definitely not be particularly good when it competes with Cheng Long's movies."

"What kind of premiere is there for a small-budget movie? There is only one heroine. I will be the one who suffers from the publicity." Guan Ling refused.

"Isn't it said on the Internet that I bundle marketing? I will continue to bundle it. No matter how hard the other party promotes it, we will just stick it and let the audience make their own choice in the cinema."

It didn't matter to Guan Ling. He hadn't even finished filming the movie, and the cost had been recouped through sponsorship. The quality of his filming was very high, but compared to the 1.3 million baby project, it didn't matter to him whether he could win or not.

On the Internet, there is a huge quarrel about this matter.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

"Cowardice before fighting?" Following the announcement of the premiere event of "Baby Project", "Shark Tank" has not yet announced the premiere event plan. This makes people smile knowingly. If the director has no hair on his lips, he must be weak in his work. "

Some media directly printed the portal title.

"Guan Daojiang has exhausted his talents? Apart from bundled marketing, what else can he do?"
