China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

[4500 words after revision]

"Director Guan, thank you. This Li Zihong must be the role of my life."

Huang Bo also burst into tears. Mother is a very heavy word, especially for Huang Bo.

His mother has cognitive impairment.

When a son wanted to take care of his parents but they were no longer around, Huang Bo woke up from his dreams and cried many times.

In this movie, similar scenes made Huang Bo completely invest his true emotions, so in the final stage of the movie, Huang Bo's performance in the family hell, he almost reached the peak of experiential acting skills.

It is the degree of integration of acting skills and true feelings.

In fact, Huang Bo is not a real experientialist. He does have plenty of skills, especially when it comes to shooting comedies, where skills are very useful.

But at the climax of the movie, Huang Bo cried with snot and tears streaming down his face, and he cried so hard that not only the audience, but even the heaven and earth were moved.

Countless audience members at the scene burst into tears.

Countless comments have also appeared on Weibo, forums, and major Internet platforms.

"This movie caught my attention with its cliché plot, and I couldn't take my eyes off it..."

"It's a very old-fashioned family plot, but it's really practical! Orientals pay the most attention to human touch. In the past, Brother Chen Kai always liked to shoot some fake and empty things, but this time, Brother Chen Kai was really bold in shooting. Whether it was some content involving gangs or the family love between mother and son, they were all enough to make people burst into tears."

"The most important thing is that at the beginning of the movie, no one could guess when the movie would explode. I thought it was just an ordinary commercial movie, but I didn't expect it to be a big bomb at the end."

"Huang Xiaoming has a lot of close-up shots of his face in this movie, but he can really hold his own."

"Huang Bo also used pseudo-long shots, which made me feel like I was watching a Hollywood blockbuster for a moment."

"No one praised Zhang Shi and Zhao Xiaodao? They didn't have many scenes, but Zhang Shi mastered his rhythm very well. Compared with Huang Xiaoming, he was a little unkind, but he still cried a little in the end. I feel that he has evolved more than Gao Yao in "The Myth". His role was really difficult to play.

Zhao Xiaodao was ordinary at first, but her emotional outburst at the end made people empathize with her, especially when she knew that Li Zihong's mother knew all the truth. Her eyes changed, and she was helpless, terrified, and moved. She looks like a female star who has lived through hard times. I guess she may be another female star who will rise in the future of Lingyun Media. "

"The things we produce in Chinese films are so bizarre and magnificent that they are far beyond the reach of Hollywood. The special effects team Guan Ling and Chen Kai chose this time is on par with Hollywood standards. If this film doesn't succeed, it would be a miracle."

……

The Internet is flooded with positive reviews.

People generally have high expectations for the movie co-produced by Chen Kaige and Guan Ling. After the movie was released, there were some doubts, such as whether the movie was just a chicken soup feast.

The rest are people who were moved by the movie.

This movie is indeed somewhat different from Chen Kai's previous style, especially in terms of the plot. There are actually two plots. One is about going through the seven levels of hell, and the other is about the brother's wronged soul dying and finding out the truth and giving a happy ending.

It can be said that it is concise, clear and not brain-burning, and suitable for people of all ages to watch.

Moreover, the gorgeous special effects in the movie, and the settings about hell judgment and reincarnation, although seemingly plagiarized, are indeed comparable to Hollywood level for the audience, especially for those who love Chinese-language movies.

When Huang Bo falls from the roof, the fast pace of the "pseudo long shot" method highlights the tense atmosphere of the protagonist's life hanging by a thread at the fire scene.

After entering hell, the dead are suffering in the magma in the murderous hell.

In the Hell of Laziness, the dead are chased by large millstones, and piranhas drink the water.

The vines that pull out people's tongues in the hell of lies, these special effects are of very high quality.

As well as the scenes in the film where Huang Xiaoming chases after wronged souls at high speed, there are even some shadows of superhero movies.

The scene where the wronged souls transform is also very Hollywood-style.

Many people who know the industry know that this is absolutely at the level of a commercial blockbuster.

Moreover, the plot mobilizes the audience's emotions to the greatest extent while attracting people to gradually decipher the mystery and broaden their horizons. The final production of this level can be said to be a model of absolute success.

Moreover, for Eastern audiences, the plot of separation of life and death + family affection is never boring.

As long as you can hit the bull's eye accurately, it will be enough to unleash great power and make the audience cry.

Brother Chen Kai obviously did it.

Cheng Hong burst into tears beside Brother Chen Kai, and then pointed at little Arthur and said, "If you don't care about your parents in the future, I will put you in the tank and drown you."

Arthur looked terrified: "???"

This is not the hell setting in the movie, mother hell?

……

When various news about the premiere came out, Guan Ling, Han Sanpin and others were toasting each other.

"We really need to make a second part of this movie." Han Sanpin raised his wine glass and looked at Guan Ling, then went over to hold Chen Kai's hand, "What do you two think?"

Under the simple core, Han Sanpin even saw the possibility of mass-producing Chinese-language blockbusters.

The setting is not complicated, and in terms of classicism, it is completely incomparable to "Infernal Affairs".

Why compare it with "Infernal Affairs"? Because both are stories extended from the setting of Buddhist scriptures.

And they are all about plot and human nature, but one is a movie presented by acting and story, while now this is a movie made up of special effects, acting and emotions.

Both have different styles, but even if it is not a classic, "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" is definitely a commercial blockbuster that exceeds expectations.

It is more bizarre and strange than the previous "Detective Dee Series".

"I'm fine with both," Guan Ling said, "but I might want to use Wu Jing for the second film. But he's currently filming Journey to Hong Kong."

"It doesn't matter. I can shoot the art film I want to shoot first." Chen Kai said, "The script was ready a long time ago, but it was delayed because of the filming of "Along with the Gods". This film is purely realistic, so it may take a few months. Then I can start shooting the second part. The time is just right."

"Is it the adapted screenplay of the novel 'Please Forgive Me' which won the Lu Xun Literature Prize?" Han Sanpin obviously knew which one he was talking about.

"Yes, this movie focuses on female journalists and is also a very down-to-earth movie. This is also what I learned from filming "Along with the Gods" this time."

Brother Chen Kai picked up the wine glass, thought for a moment, and drank it all in one gulp towards Guan Ling, "I'll finish this one, you can do whatever you want."

"I am really grateful to Director Guan this time. I have filmed several costume dramas and period dramas before, but the results were not good.

So I am actually reflecting on what kind of movies the audience likes, but I don’t think clearly.

This time, watching "Along with the Gods" gave me a great stimulation. I found that many small things in reality can also spark different emotions. Only works that are close to life and down-to-earth will be popular.

This is an era of great change. Many people are pushed forward by social changes and lose their way in the pressure of life. This new adapted script is based on a seemingly accidental but representative event, which triggered a domino effect and involves many sharp real-life issues.

Mr. Han knows that it is just a case of a beautiful woman not giving up her seat. But I feel that this chain reaction of social consequences needs to be explored in depth.

Sometimes costume dramas and fantasy films are harder to shoot than realistic ones, because they can be shot in any way and no one has any idea. But for modern films, I think everyone has a yardstick for the reality right under their noses, so my goal is to make it as real and credible as possible.

On this point, if Director Guan has time, I hope he can give some corrections to the script."

"Okay, okay," Guan Ling said with a smile, "but I'm not very involved in movies with realistic themes."

Brother Chen Kai said, "If Director Guan wants to invest, just let me know anytime. I will give Ling Yun a satisfactory share."

"of course."

Guan Ling said, "But if the cost is too small, I won't participate. Ling Yun is very interested in big projects."

Brother Chen Kai's eyes lit up, "There really is one. We will have to use Director Guan's Tangcheng Film and Television Base to shoot it."

Guan Ling's pupils shrank slightly. He already knew that Brother Chen Kai was talking about the "Legend of the Demon Cat" that took six years to make. However, this thing was a complete loss-making business, so he didn't dare to invest. Brother Chen Kai really made money from making movies, and it was the ones after "Legend of the Demon Cat", which made hundreds of millions of dollars. As for the ones before, most of them were sold for copyright.

"The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" suffered a huge loss.

Guan Ling chuckled, saying nothing.

Ren Zhonglun, Yu Dong and others also hope that Guan Ling will continue to prepare for the sequel to the second part so that they can also benefit from it.

After all, they also have a share in this film.

After the toasts were over, Han Sanpin raised his glass to celebrate Guan Ling's success. "Then I'll wait and see how great this movie is."

After several big guys had gone down, when Guan Ling came out, he saw Huang Xiaoming who came to greet him.

"I am deeply grateful and in tears."

Huang Xiaoming said a few words, which made Guan Ling frown.

"speak English."

"Even now when I think about it, it was the best decision that Xun Jie'er and I made to join Director Guan. She won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival, and I topped the box office among male actors from Forever Young to Along with the Gods. Of course, apart from Brother Cheng Long, I really can't beat him."

"If there's a play, they'll definitely look for you." Guan Ling said, "You'd better take care of Lu Province. You don't have to be limited to the acting circle in the future."

The meaning of this sentence was very clear, and Huang Xiaoming's heart was moved. "Thank you, Director Guan. I will definitely work hard."

"The poor performance of "Pifu" does not mean that this path is wrong." Guan Ling said, "Since you have this hobby and investment vision, you can have a broader vision in the future."

"I bought more than five million of Huayi's internal stocks before, but they were not listed," Huang Xiaoming laughed bitterly, "It was all thanks to Director Guan. But fortunately, the path that Director Guan took me on allowed me to earn back all the money through endorsements."

Guan Ling didn't say anything, just smiled.

Huang Xiaoming's stocks all turned into worthless pieces of paper in the end, which was indeed closely related to Guan Ling. Although a company like Huayi can still make dramas and movies after it is unable to go public, the confidence of netizens and fans in him has already dropped to the freezing point.

Guan Ling also knew that Huang Xiaoming had vision. In the later period of his previous life, Huang Xiaoming had always been at the capital table. In addition to the Huayi Film and Television stocks, Huang Xiaoming had his own business territory and empire.

It is said that when he divorced Yang Tianbao, the woman directly took away his 2.5 billion yuan.

This news was even more shocking than his sky-high price for marriage.

And now Guan Ling doesn't mind giving him some advice.

After waiting for a while, Huang Xiaoming suddenly said, "Director Guan, I met Yang Tianbao, who had previously filmed the Detective Dee series with you, at a cocktail party. I quite like him. I wonder if Director Guan..."

Huang Xiaoming pondered for a while before speaking.

"I slept with it."

Guan Ling frowned and spoke in a calm tone, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

"Okay." Huang Xiaoming nodded.

"Have you asked for her opinion?" Guan Ling suddenly asked, "What is her attitude?"

"Not taking the initiative, but certainly not an outright refusal..." Huang Xiaoming thought about it and did not dare to lie to Guan Ling.

"I understand." Guan Ling's tone became even more indifferent.

Huang Xiaoming felt a chill in his heart, and he felt that the temperature inside the car had dropped a little.

Is it possible that this person will disappear from the entertainment industry soon? Huang Xiaoming himself didn't know if this would be the result, but when he thought that this result was possible, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

"Did your previous boyfriend break up?" Guan Ling asked curiously.

"Yes," Huang Xiaoming said, "She has some unclear relationship with Kwon Sang-woo in South Korea."

"Take your time to look for it. You won't go back to that old Qin Lan."

Huang Xiaoming asked quietly, "Where is Gulinazha from our company?"

"Slept."

"What about the 30-year-old actress who signed a contract with the Magic City Drama Academy? The one who was just officially announced a while ago?"

"Wan Qian?"

"Yes, that's the name."

"I slept with him once."

"Director Guan has never touched that student, right? The one from Shanghai Drama Academy." Huang Xiaoming was asking about Dilraba Dilmurat, Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Liu Sisi and the like. He didn't bother to ask because he could guess what they wanted.

"Ok?"

Guan Ling just hummed, and Huang Xiaoming was so scared that he almost couldn't hold the steering wheel, and alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.

It seems that this is also Director Guan’s cup of tea.

"Zhao Xiaodao wouldn't be that bad, he was such a small movie star before." Huang Xiaoming was speechless.

"You're pulling me in."

Huang Xiaoming suddenly lost his mind.

At this moment, he felt like he was going crazy.

With so many female stars in the entertainment industry, is there anyone who hasn’t had any contact with Director Guan?
Guan Ling didn't mind at all.

"Last time, Guo Jingyu told me that I have a senior sister. Why don't you consider it?"

Guan Ling said, "Call me Wang Luodan."

Huang Xiaoming glanced at Guan Ling and said, "Isn't that my junior sister?" But his eyes were a little suspicious.

"I really didn't touch this." Guan Ling said, "I don't touch anyone either. I only touch fire."

Huang Xiaoming's forehead was full of black lines. Aren't you the only one who touches fire? Whoever you touch will get angry? !
……

Lingyun Media dominated the news of the entire entertainment industry.

Previously, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" created the ratings record of Mango TV. Yang Mi has made a leap every two years, and has consolidated her position, becoming a top-tier powerful actress in China, with both box office and performance soaring.

According to gossip, apart from foot odor, there are no other side effects.

As for the movie, "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" occupied many hot searches on Weibo, forums, and major Internet portals on the day of its premiere, completely suppressing the news of the previously released "Madagascar 3" to disappear without a trace.

You know, since DreamWorks' 3D animation masterpiece "Madagascar 3" was released in mainland China on June 6, as the third film in the series, the film introduced 8D technology, making the originally joyful plot even more exciting.

Moreover, its early appearance in Cannes attracted numerous praises, and was praised by Variety as "a rare, constantly improving animated series" that is more dazzling than the previous two.

Moreover, the box office revenue in the first week reached 5600 million.

It sparked heated discussions in the media.

After a premiere, it was completely blown away, like a dream bubble, quietly dissipating into thin air!!

Not only Han Sanpin, everyone was shocked.

Chinese-language movies can one day become as ferocious as a flood and a beast! Shocking Hollywood movies into silence! (End of this chapter)
