China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Zhao Xiaodao has a warm expectation for Guan Ling.

She is very clear about her own situation, such as her appearance, her figure, the time she became famous, and her support.

With all this, she achieved almost nothing.

Sometimes, in order to perform better and more fully, she always tenses herself.

But people still say that he has a flat body, and he was punched twice on the flat body, so he is slightly swollen and has some bruises.

Of course she knew that this was just a joke from some malicious netizens, but she still felt uncomfortable.

Especially seeing the various movie stars that have been appearing on the Internet recently.

For example, Yang Mi, that is really big, but she knows she is not as good as him.

For example, Wan Qian has a very elegant appearance, and Zhao Xiaodao feels that his face is a little different from hers.

There is also a newcomer, Di Lieba. It has been revealed on the internet that this new actress will play the leading female role in Director Guan's TV series. Without commenting on her looks, just looking at her Western characteristics, how could Zhao Xiaodao not be terrified?

Compared to these people, she really doesn't think she is any good?!
If not, it means... falling out of favor!
As an actor who has worked her way up to this position from the countryside, she has endured a lot of hardships.

Guan Ling just valued her and tried it out very simply. She just established some relationship with the director whom she admired and identified with, and she got the role of her life.

Characters in "Along with the Gods".

Although the movie has only been in the process of premiering so far, Zhao Xiaodao is very clear that she has been in the spotlight during this period of time, even more than in her first half of life.

When did her name, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo and Zhang Shi's names appear together?
What’s more, there are the two famous names of Brother Chen Kai and Guan Ling!
Therefore, this invitation was not mixed with any impurities, which meant that she had completely accepted the impact of her previous relationship with Guan Ling on her.

She also wants to ascend.

As an actress, who doesn't want to stand under the spotlight, in front of hundreds of millions of viewers, wearing a golden dress and shining brightly?

During this period, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" has enabled Yang Mi to completely consolidate her position. While maintaining her popularity in both movies and TV series, it has also allowed the industry to see a rising female star who will not even fall.

All this happened only a few dramas ago when rumors broke that Yang Mi was going to be banned.

Among these dramas, except "Far Cry", which one of the others has nothing to do with Guan Ling?

Yang Mi's popularity during this period has caused a great psychological trauma to Zhao Xiaodao.

She really wanted to be that kind of person.

Similarly, Zhao Xiaodao really didn't want to fall out of favor and didn't want to miss the opportunity to ascend to heaven.

So she took the initiative again, and Director Guan’s response made her feel very happy.

Before the premiere even started, she had already excitedly eaten a few more bites of cake on the spot.

Sweet in the mouth, sweeter in the heart.

"Director Guan, you have accepted my invitation."

Zhao Xiaodao's eyes curved, his expression excited, and he suddenly thought of a line from the Spring Festival Gala, "Tonight the sun is shining, tonight the clouds will turn sunny..."

She is like Erya, the girl on the Spring Festival Gala who couldn’t speak clearly and couldn’t explain herself to her idol.

But as long as she continues to have a good relationship with Director Guan, she can not only enjoy Director Guan’s beautiful body, but also find her own bright future!
"Whether it's Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, or Fan Bingbing, I must work hard. I will push the waves ahead, wave after wave, and leave them all on the beach."

Zhao Xiaodao clenched his fists and talked to himself.

……

Brother Chen Kai is a person who likes to show off, especially when it comes to the arrangement of the premiere.
Guan Ling still remembers the scenes of “The Promise” back then, with hundreds of guards, a 100-meter red carpet, declarations of competing for an Oscar, and the magnificent scenes.

It's a pity that it ended up being so awkward. Now it seems that apart from the prediction that everyone could see clearly what was under Zhang Baizhi's clothes, there was no other explosive joke.

The murder caused by a steamed bun completely nailed Brother Chen Kai to the pillar of shame. During the seven years, every incident made Brother Chen Kai feel an intense pain as if his heart was being cut out.

For the premiere of "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds", Brother Chen Kai also arranged it in a grand manner, with all kinds of fantasy and weirdness, and various hell elements, making the entire scene extremely magical.

However, the atmosphere at the scene was not dark or scary, but rather colorful, as if people had entered a colorful fantasy world.

The insiders and movie stars who came were also shining stars. Not only did the entire lineup of the main creators appear in their best attire, but there were also many non-V creators who came to steal the spotlight.

For example, Lin Zhiling, the actress who was chosen by Cheng Hong for the production of "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain", appeared on the scene in a V-neck tulle dress, richly and generously showing off her world-class wave in the "Horse Stepping on Flying Swallow" scene.

Guan Ling took a closer look and it didn't look fake.

They simply treated the premiere as a red carpet for film festival promotion, and the key point was that this was tacitly approved by Brother Chen Kai, so Guan Ling naturally wouldn't say much.

Look at Zhao Xiaodao again,

There is really a cute contrast between these two people's appearance, skin color, temperament, and height.

Zhao Xiaodao was quite excited at first, but when he saw the exchange of glances between Guan Ling and Lin Zhiling, his heart suddenly tightened again.

The weather just turned from cloudy to sunny, and then immediately turned from sunny to cloudy again.

Poor Xiaodao's mood changes at any time depending on Director Guan's gaze.

……

"Director Guan, nice to see you again."

Cheng Long sat next to Guan Ling with a glass of wine in his hand. "This time I went to Cannes with the promotional posters for Uncharted and Chinese Zodiac. I can say that I have thoroughly felt the influence of Director Guan in Cannes."

Cheng Long curled his lips, "As expected of a director who has been in the limelight in Cannes for the past few years, many directors and actors came to talk to me, but they were not interested in me, and they would definitely mention Guan's name in their conversations."

"Your expression is as if I owe you something." Guan Ling complained.

"You owe me the reputation of Kung Fu in the global film industry. Although people still think of me when they think of Kung Fu when they talk about China, when they talk about movies, at least in this industry, you are more famous than me."

When everyone heard Cheng Long's words, they all felt sympathetic.

It's not just abroad. Even in China, when talking about movies, who can't help but think of Guan Ling?
In fact, movies are like women, and Mr. Lu Xun's words are also applicable. When talking about women's clothing at the beginning, Mr. Lu Xun wrote that when he saw short sleeves, he immediately thought of white arms, immediately thought of naked body, immediately thought of genitals, immediately thought of various kinds of intercourse, and immediately thought of illegitimate children.

In the film industry, when people think of a certain star, they will immediately think of stars who are more popular than this star, and immediately think of the movies or TV series behind the star, and Guan Ling's name will come to mind.

The most important thing is that this logic is true at all times!

The same is true when talking about movies. When it comes to Chinese film awards, Guan Ling accounts for most of them. When it comes to the overseas box office of Chinese films, Guan Ling immediately tops the ranking of major directors. The only thing about influence is that Guan Ling still needs time to accumulate, but even now, there are still many overseas audiences who know Guan!

This is the right to speak. Before this, Cheng Long felt that he had the right to speak overseas.

And now, Guan Ling has completely taken control of the right to speak.

Cheng Long also couldn't help but sigh how powerful it was!
As people of all kinds entered, thunderous cheers broke out from time to time on the red carpet.

In the eyes of the media, the importance of the various people who came this time all indicated everyone's recognition of Brother Chen Kai and Guan Ling. No matter who they came for, everyone came anyway.

"Is that Mr. Li from the Galloping Pony?"

Some media outlets were sharp-eyed and noticed that some people who had rarely participated in the premiere before also appeared on the scene at this time.

In addition, all of Guan Ling’s long-time partners also arrived at the scene.

Zhang Yimou also came. Even though he had recently suffered a turmoil, Zhang Yimou looked energetic, as if nothing had happened.

Brother Chen Kai has seen big scenes before, but when he saw these people coming, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

As for first-line stars, Brother Chen Kai still recruited many stars he had worked with before, including Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Qing, He Saifei, and even his first girlfriend Xue Bai.

Xue Bai was the first actress to be cast as Chen Kaige's lead actress. She played the innocent and kind-hearted heroine Cui Qiao in Yellow Earth. Her performance was delicate, subtle, vivid and natural. She was a very popular actress in the 80s.

Although she has now faded out of the film and television industry, she is still active in dubbing, and has dubbed nearly a hundred hit dramas. The characters played by Li Xiang in "The Quick-Tongue Li Cui Lian", Liu Yifei in "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and Wang Yan in "Like Sparks Like Butterflies" are all voiced by her.

Liu Yifei also came over and went to say hello to Xue Bai.

At the same time, Zhou Xun and others on the front line also arrived at the scene.

As for the male actors, many people came for these two people.

"This platform is much more dazzling than my previous scenes."

At this moment, even Brother Chen Kai sighed inwardly.

The star-studded and magnificent scene inspired him to recite poetry subconsciously.

"Yi and Lu, two old men, experienced both poverty and wealth. One was a fisherman and the other a farmhand. If they had not met at that time, they would have become old heroes. When Tang and Wu met by chance, they were like wind, tiger, cloud and dragon. The rise of a king was only a joke. Until now, thousands of years later, who can compete with them for merit?"

Is this hero old?!

Brother Chen Kai really couldn't control himself on the stage, and he recited a stream of poetry, which excited many people in the audience. Many actors and directors applauded.

Only Zhang Yimou's face turned ashen.

"Today's guy really got what he wanted." Zhang Yimou was already in a bad mood, but he didn't expect that he would come and witness Brother Chen Kai showing off his power in public!
Speechless! I am totally speechless!
Han Sanpin looked at Guan Ling and said, "Director Chen's culture is indeed extraordinary. This poem seems to be bragging about you, Director Guan, but if you peel off the traces inside, he is still bragging about himself!"

Guan Ling laughed out loud.

In terms of cultural background, no one in the film industry can compare with Brother Chen Kai.

In this poem, there is a hint of comparing Guan Ling to the two emperors Tang and Wu. However, in the end, it was because he met two wise ministers, Yi Yin and Lu Shang, that he was able to establish his kingdom while chatting and laughing, just like a dragon born from clouds and a tiger following the wind.

The whole movie looks like it was made entirely by him.

Under the spotlight of the media, director Chen Kaige made his final appearance and shared his experience of filming Along with the Gods over the past year with great emotion:

"After a movie is released, there are always people who like it and people who don't. I will face everything with a calm heart. In fact, before this, I always believed that I could endure humiliation, make progress, and not be vulgar.

But when I first received this script from Director Guan, what I saw was not the grand scenes and imagination in the script, but the plain and deep affection hidden in it.

I have always believed that film is an art for the refined, but later I discovered that my idea may not be entirely correct. Film is an art for everyone, and every ordinary daily life is art itself.

Director Guan said that I always like to deal with high-sounding topics, and I always feel that they are a bit out of touch with reality.

He said that I always tried to impress the audience with large-scale stories and profound themes, but I didn't pay attention to the little things that happen in our daily lives.

They also said that my movies always seem to be in the sky, making people feel that they are out of reach. Most of us prefer simple, homely stories.

This warmed my heart, and I have to thank Director Guan, because I rarely realized these problems before, and even if I realized them, I would still act according to my own ideas.

When Director Guan gave me the script, he emphasized that I could not change a single word of it.

I agreed, and only after the filming and editing were completed did I realize that Director Guan was right.

The script of this play directed by Guan often reminds me of my father.

A wise man is a teacher, and I really need to learn from him in this regard."

Brother Chen Kai's statement this time unexpectedly did not contain much bragging, but was instead an expression of deep affection.

But it was because of this that people who knew Brother Chen Kai at the scene understood what kind of impact this movie had on him.

In front of such an unprecedentedly strong lineup of guests and stars, Brother Chen Kai can only lower his proud head.

"It's not easy."

Zhang Yimou looked at Guan Ling with admiration.

Brother Chen Kai directly compared Guan Ling with his father. This way of comparison seems novel, but it also shows Chen Kaige's absolute approval!

Han Sanpin was also looking at Guan Ling, thoughtfully.

Although Brother Chen Kai kept praising himself and showing how great he was when he was reciting poems and composing couplets, when it came to expressing his true feelings, he seemed to reveal that he was not as good as Guan Ling. Such a change is really confusing.

All I can say is that he was indeed influenced by the movie.

After thinking this matter through, many people below had already become stern in expression.

"What kind of movie is this? Can it make Brother Chen Kai bow his head in front of so many people?"

Everyone is full of curiosity!
This kind of expression also attracted many media to focus on Guan Ling, which directly led to Guan Ling attracting countless media films.

Amid the anticipation of the crowd, director Chen Kaige rejected the media's interview request and quickly expressed his feelings:

"After about a year of preparation, 'Along with the Gods' is finally going to be released to the public. I believe that this movie will be worthwhile for everyone!"

Brother Chen Kai was very firm!
Many people have seen the ambition and lofty spirit in his eyes.

His expression at the premiere of "The Promise" was exactly the same as it is today: profound, sincere, confident and crazy! (End of this chapter)
