China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

[4800 words after revision! ]

On the afternoon of April 2012, 4, the movie "Aquaman", written by Guan Ling and directed by James Wan, held its premiere in Beijing.

In addition to the crew members, everyone from the entire circle was jaw-dropping.

Especially the nominated artists for the Hong Kong Film Awards, which made people extremely surprised.

In addition to mainland actors such as Tang Wei, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhou Xun, and Qin Hailu,
Andy Lau, Xie Tingfeng, Liu Jialing, Zha Zhahui and more than half of the best actor, actress and supporting actor awards all appeared in Beijing, not in Hong Kong.

You know, tomorrow is the award ceremony of the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards.

Guan Ling's premiere was almost sold out in Hong Kong.

Those who were not nominated did not go to the Academy Awards, and those who were nominated, the names mentioned above were well known, but they did not go.

Instead, they went to Beijing to walk the red carpet at the Great Hall of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. The premiere ceremony of "Aquaman" was very grand, just like a film festival.

The Hong Kong media had the same thought as Ming Jing'er, but they asked a shocking question: "Who is BJ?"

We are having an awards ceremony here and you are having a premiere there, so why are you making a louder noise than me?

But no one answered, and everyone had their own answer.

Liu Dehua did not come, but he had greeted Guan Ling in advance. Although the awards have not been presented yet, he already knew that he would win. This year's Hong Kong Film Awards, there are only two movies that can win crazy prizes, "A Simple Life" and "Overheard".

In addition, it goes without saying that Liu Yifei, Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, Mu Tingting, Liu Sisi, Guli Nazha, Zhang Tianai and others came. Some of their producers have nothing better to do, some have busy schedules but do not want to miss the rare meeting with Guan Ling, and some come here on purpose to see if they can grab some opportunities in this circle.

Although Guan Ling has her own resources and influence, they don't completely want to be a pendant.

Many directors were also present, including Chen Kai and Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Yang Qing and others. Ning Hao and Yang Qing, who were angered by netizens a few days ago, sat aside and looked very intimate. Feng Xiaogang also took the initiative to ask for a glass of wine. He wanted to talk to Guan Ling about cooperation, but found that Guan Ling was very busy, greeting here and perfunctorily responding to the top stars in the industry there, and had no intention of talking to him at all.

Feng Xiaogang didn't dare to feel embarrassed, so he just sat aside and drank alone.

Gu Tianle and Wu Jing appeared together, which made the industry imagine a lot.

As the confirmed leading actor of "Travel to Hong Kong", Gu Tianle can support the box office, and Wu Jing was also well-known in the Hong Kong circle. Although Zhen Zidan has not been banned now, he has lost Guan Ling's scripts and film resources, which does mean a bit of a loss.

Previously, Zhao Wenzhuo took over the series after "Ip Man 3", and now Wu Jing has returned to the Hong Kong circle again. Guan Ling's meaning seems self-evident.

Movies that are difficult to make in mainland China are shot in Hong Kong and Taiwan. He has never given up on the markets and resources of these two places.

This time, Guan Ling also deliberately pushed the protagonist's spotlight onto James Wan's head, but James Wan was obviously a private person. He talked about the movie freely, but he was a little embarrassed when it came to the big boss of China, and seemed unable to hold up the scene.

Director's Nest.

"Speaking of which, a large number of Hollywood blockbusters have been released in the past few days, and Chinese films have been hit hard. I heard that China Film and Optoelectronics held a meeting a few days ago." Brother Chen Kai spoke first.

"In fact, the higher-ups know the situation very well, but they just can't do anything about it." Zhang Yimou laughed. "Hollywood has accumulated technology for nearly a hundred years, and has long surpassed Chinese films. Guan Ling managed to withstand the pressure of Avatar, and later he created several high-grossing films. However, Hollywood's films are all super blockbusters and mega-productions. How can our Chinese films withstand it?"

The meeting on this matter will most likely just be to issue some encouraging policies to motivate filmmakers, what else can be done?
There are so many great directors in China now. In a previous interview, Ning Hao's "Wild Tales" was introduced. This is Ning Hao's most award-winning film in all his years of work. It looks like it will go for Venice or the Oscars. I can't count on it this year.

"Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" is a movie that can hold up well during the summer season.

The script of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" looked terrible at first glance, but how could Guan Ling's script be so shallow? Zhang Yimou studied it for a long time before he could make out the words between the lines. There were so many lines worth savoring, and the irony was so strong that it had passed the review. Zhang Yimou was a little worried that when the film came out, it would be suppressed by the higher-ups.

"This pile is from the royal family, this pile is from the general family, and this pile is from the common people. Send all of these to the woodshed to start the fire. They are all low-class people. As untouchables, they should accept their fate."

This movie may still generate huge popularity among moviegoers, but it is not a recent thing.

In Zhang Yimou's mind, perhaps the impact of the entire Chinese and foreign film volume will continue during the summer season. After all, in addition to "Along with the Gods", the only movies that can be mentioned in China during the summer season are "The Four", "The Whisperer", and "The Sino-Japanese War of 4-3", while in Hollywood, "Ice Age ", "The Avengers", "Scarlet Witch", "Men in Black "...

Can't afford to touch it.

That's really unacceptable.

In Zhang Yimou's mind, the meeting at the top was not a gathering of all the heroes, but just a meeting of random people. Things would go on as they should, and there was no hope of thinking of anything else.

"What about you? You've been resting for so long recently, you're almost having your third baby, right?"

Zhang Yimou looked at Jiang Wen and asked curiously.

It is quite interesting to say that after Let the Bullets Fly, Jiang Wen started his journey of taking his children out for a walk.

As a result, after so much time, this guy has starred in movies and shot micro-movies, but he has never acted in a movie.

"The script is already out. I came here to ask Director Guan for some money."

Jiang Wen said, "We'll start shooting during the summer vacation."

"That's great, the people up there will be very happy."

As the directors chatted, they couldn't help but talk about the previous quarrel between Yang Qing and Lu Chuan on Weibo. Jiang Wen curiously asked Yang Qing: "Is the news on Weibo true or false? Why did Weibo officials say that Lu Chuan's account was not hacked? Does Director Guan really have shares in Weibo?"

"I really don't know about this."

Yang Qing said, "Although Lu Chuan criticized my movie, I did not participate in the response throughout the process."

He smiled and said, "You all know that Director Guan has full control over all responses."

At Cannes, against Japanese animation, and directly breaking up with Zhen Zidan, Director Guan would not talk about public relations or consequences. He just did it.

Everyone became curious, and many of them seemed to be thinking about something.

Since Yang Qing didn't respond, the only one who responded could be Guan Ling.

Does Guan Ling have shares in Weibo?

This made many directors present at the scene dumbfounded. Feng Xiaogang opened his mouth so wide that two eggs could almost fit in it.

Brother Chen Kai was quite excited. Before this, there were some disagreements between him and Guan Ling, but later he quickly changed sides and strengthened his ties with Guan Ling. Now it seems that it was a good move.

For the film and television industry, Weibo is becoming more and more powerful and lethal, especially for celebrities. Once any negative news appears about these symbols who are always on the stage, Weibo will become the main platform for publicity. Guan Ling holds shares in Weibo, which makes things difficult.

Although outsiders would not think of fighting with Guan Ling now, Guan Ling can hack people without restraint.

That's just not fair.

I don’t dare to offend Director Guan, but what if I offend people around Guan Ling?
Now that Lu Chuan can be directly confronted by the official platform and claim that his account has not been hacked, the next time there is a competitive press release in the film and television industry that offends Guan Ling's artists, who posted it, which company? Which comment controller? All kinds of information will be recorded by Guan Ling.

The guys were originally barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, or the situation where both sides suffered losses could be directly changed by Guan Ling into a one-sided beating.

Damn it.

Even the director was stunned at this moment.

Just thinking about the power Guan Ling has now is terrifying.

……

The premiere was filled with cheers and it felt more like a huge social circle.

Guan Ling came early this time, and many people also came early.

The arrival of China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group, Shandong Film Group, Bona Film Group, Guangxian, Yinghuang and Tianxiayi did not cause any ripples in people's hearts, but the appearance of a group of familiar agents' faces did surprise people.

Chang Jihong, Wang Jinghua, Li Xiaowan, Huo Wenxi... many familiar faces in the entertainment industry also appeared here at this moment.

Before the premiere officially started, Director Tong's arrival caused an uproar at the scene.

Tong Ju would go to premieres sometimes, but it was rare.

The most important thing is that he never goes to the premieres of foreign directors. Now, this is considered breaking the rules.

Although this movie is produced by Skyworth, the director is Chinese after all.

After all, Director Tong holds the power of life and death over the Film Censorship Committee, but sometimes, if a matter is too difficult, he will report to his superiors.

But this platform has already explained a lot.

"The movie 'Trip to Hong Kong' should really be a success." Many stars felt solemn.

Even the audience watching the premiere were in an uproar at this moment.

"Gu Tianle and Wu Jing starred in this film, and Guan Ling directed it. This is a zombie film. After Hong Kong zombie films, this is a field that the mainland has never opened up. In the end, Director Guan made a breakthrough in this field."

"I even have some doubts. Except for the ban on shooting two-person action movies in China, can Director Guan give permission for everything else?"

"In fact, many things depend on how you look at it. Is Titanic 3D good? It is good, but is it as good as the first one? No. It is because when the first one was released, the sketch scene of Ruth was shown in full, and people could even see the two basic center points on it.

By chance, the higher-ups agreed not to cut the film, and that was it. When I think back to that scene, I can still feel the beauty of Ruth.

But why is the current version of "Titanic" not so satisfying to the audience?

That’s because the nude scene has been completely deleted, leaving only the portrait scene.”

On Weibo, this viewer posted a long comment, mainly trying to say that it doesn't matter what kind of movie is made, but the attitude of the higher-ups is very important. As long as the attitude is right, Guan Ling might get the green light even if she's making a Category B or Category IV movie.

However, no one expected that this would trigger a famous scene in which many netizens collectively worshipped him as their godfather.

"Godfather, please give me resources!"

"Godfather, please give me resources!"

"I went to see the 3D movie version, and I ended up seeing a 3D version of an iceberg! Damn it, did I want to see the whiteness of the iceberg? No matter how white the iceberg is, it's not as white as Ruth's conscience!"

My brother was completely confused.

Another netizen responded solemnly: "Everyone, you have to understand optoelectronics and adults. After all, this movie is a 3D movie version. I believe the authorities are also worried that when playing this clip, the audience will reach out to touch it and hit the head of the audience in the front row, causing disputes, so they made the decision to delete it..."

No one on the internet expected that the premiere of "Aquaman" would make news about "Titanic" a hot topic.

Was it deleted because they were afraid that the audience would reach out and touch it, and thus hit the front row audience on the head? This is fucking amazing!
……

At the scene, the appearance of Director Tong Gang really made everyone look sideways.

Some female stars originally wanted to get closer to Guan Ling, but at this moment most of them stopped with good sense.

With the director here, they have no chance to move forward, nor is there any need to do so.

It will only cause trouble and cause unpleasantness.

The media at the scene were filming the scene rapidly, and took a close-up of the two shaking hands.

The invited media were all very sensible. As friendly forces, they had some outlines in advance and would not take the initiative to ask embarrassing questions on the spot. At most, they asked about the content of the movie, the creative background, and also asked Heard about her thoughts on her first collaboration with James Wan and Director Kwan, as well as her feelings about coming to China.

On the whole, everyone joined the Kuakua group.

But the media did not cause any trouble during the interview process.

However, the director brought up the topic himself and others.

He asked Guan Ling when he would shoot a Chinese superhero blockbuster like "Aquaman"?

Guan Ling was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Director Tong, it's not a superhero movie, okay?"

The eyes of the media people below lit up, and all their cameras were pointed at Guan Ling.

Below the stage, Han Sanpin suddenly raised his head.

Everyone also looked up at Guan Ling on the stage.

Director Tong patted Guan Ling's shoulder encouragingly, "Of course. As long as it's a Chinese movie, it's fine."

"Then I'll accept it?" Guan Ling said.

Director Tong exerted slight force with his hands, and close-ups of the joints were captured in the picture.

He didn't seem to expect Guan Ling to agree so readily.

After hesitating for a while, Director Tong said, "In fact, you have had a great impact in the past two years, but we hope that there will be more Guan Ling, more Chinese directors, and more blockbusters to give domestic filmmakers more confidence. In the future, we are not trying to drive Hollywood movies out of China, but to ensure that every month, we always have the courage and confidence to compete with each other. Instead of being unilaterally suppressed like now."

"Of course I am willing to contribute a little to domestic blockbusters."

Guan Ling said: "It's easy to get good movies, but hard to get blockbusters. It takes even more time to make good and big blockbusters. But recently the leaders have been discussing this matter, discussing Hollywood's big-budget movies, and discussing how domestic films can counter it.

But in fact, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a blockbuster to fight against them.

It can also be done with a low budget, like last year's "Hot Girls" and the new low-budget movie that I contacted Chen Kun about before, which is of this type.

But I know that the audience also likes to watch blockbuster movies, so I will make a blockbuster movie, a blockbuster movie made by Chinese people, to make all the fans happy. How do you think? "

Guan Ling asked the audience below, causing cheers from the fans below.

All the stars below were solemn and tense at this moment, and even their breathing became heavier.

The netizens who were watching the premiere at the moment were also in an uproar.

"Guan Mianbo, Guan Mianbo appears again?!"

"Fuck, what a familiar phrase."

At this time, the camera found Liu Yifei's face, and she smiled gently.

People suddenly remembered Guan Ling's nickname.

"Do you remember 'The Hearing Girl'? He wanted to contribute a little to the shining of Chinese films in the world film industry. He has since gained a lot of fame, but after that, no one played this joke anymore."

I'm on fire!
“I still remember those words.

With his modest power, the great director Guan has swept across Europe and America and stirred up a storm!
From then on people called him the King of Force!"

People were in an uproar.

What was even more exciting was that the conversation between Director Tong and Guan Ling on the stage quickly caused a huge uproar in the media.

“Director Tong wanted Director Guan to shoot a blockbuster, and Director Guan agreed.

Director Guan told Director Tong that in order to compete with Chinese films, not only blockbusters but also low-budget films are needed. He also said that he wanted to collaborate with Chen Kun again on a low-budget movie.

Big-budget or small-budget, Director Guan will fight against Hollywood imported films, is that what you mean?"

Netizens were extremely surprised.

Then a comment was posted by Fenghuo Xi Zhuhou, a famous eunuch author of online novels, which aroused the excitement of his readers.

"Hollywood movies have accumulated over a century and are invading China. I, Guan Mianbo, will shoulder all the responsibility!!"

Blasted!

His readers went wild!
Afterwards, this extremely domineering and ambitious statement began to sweep across the entire entertainment industry! (End of this chapter)
