China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

[4400 words after revision]

"The box office of 'Along with the Gods' on the first day was reported to be 7870 million!"

"Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds" breaks Chen Kaige's first-day box office record! Breaks the first-day box office record for domestic fantasy films!"

"After half a year, the film market has once again welcomed a domestic commercial film with super high box office. Brother Chen Kai has broken free from the shackles!"

"Can Huang Xiaoming break Cheng Long's record of being the number one male actor? Maybe this month!"

"Ge You's second place in the box office rankings is about to be surpassed by Huang Xiaoming!"

“Although Zhao Xiaodao’s role as the heroine is not very detailed, her debut on the big screen is quite eye-catching!”

That night, many people suffered from insomnia.

……

Bona Film Group.

When Yu Dong got the first day's box office results, he felt a little impressed, but not excited enough. On the contrary, he felt a lot of crisis.

Guan Ling now is not a Bodhisattva who has to give them shares anytime and anywhere.

Although he had a small share of this movie, 8%, but after deducting the premium, the final profit he could make was quite limited.

People are always greedy.

Yu Dong also doesn't want to just rely on Guan Ling to make money all his life. He hopes to develop his own strength so that Bona can build its own brand in production and production in addition to distribution.

It has to be said that Guan Ling is a symbol today.

Screenwriter Guan Ling is also a symbol.

No matter it is a domestic film or a Hollywood film, as long as the film promotion is related to Guan Ling, it will definitely attract audiences.

This is inevitable. Guan Ling does not choose traffic when filming and does not fool the audience. Although the speed is sometimes fast, once the filming is started, all the peripheral equipment around the film will revolve around the film. She is very dedicated.

It’s not like Yu Dong hasn’t talked about this and discussed why every drama Guan Ling stars in becomes a hit.

But the conclusion is that these only concern Guan Ling.

He rubbed his brows, and when he thought about Lingyun Media's annual box office, he suddenly felt a sense of helplessness.

Lingyun Media is like a huge ocean.

The Bona is an insignificant river.

Even China Film Group is now nothing more than a self-contained lake.

Compared with Guan Ling, what is he?
Yu Dong thought about this and suddenly thought, if Han Sanpin retreated immediately and the newcomer fell out with Guan Ling, who would give in to whom? Or, whose side should he stand on?
Yu Dong is definitely not a fool since he has managed to get to this point.

Lingyun Media had already started the IPO process when "Inception" was released, but the process was temporarily stalled because Guan Ling's valuation of the company was too high and there was a fuss in Japan at the time that the film plagiarized "Paprika", so the process was temporarily stalled.

But with Guan Ling's desperate pace over the past few years, the listing will definitely be completed in one or two years.

Chapter 3 The rumor about the imported film distribution license has been circulating for more than half a year, and Yu Dong has also heard that Wang Jianlin and Guan Ling of Wanda Cinema Line are going to cooperate to get the license, even if it means setting up a new company.

These two are not state-owned enterprises, and the combined size of Wanda Cinema Line and Dadi Lingyun Cinema Line is larger than half of the current domestic cinema chains.

If things really get pushed to the extreme, let alone whether China Film Group can bring in new talent, Han Sanpin will be useless.

China Film Corporation can set the screening schedule, but when the theaters don’t schedule screenings for you, or even refuse to release your films, China Film Corporation is useless.

"This matter is troublesome!"

Yu Dong murmured, especially now that Guan Ling has every reason and ability to stop playing with China Film.

If China Film Group wants Guan Ling to compete with Hollywood blockbusters, it is not certain that Guan Ling will be defeated. The most important thing is whether they dare to do so? They force the number one Chinese director to do something, and in the end Guan Ling will just go to Hollywood to play and live a prosperous life. But does China Film Group, or even the Film Bureau, dare to take the responsibility? !
"Brother Chen Kai has been fighting for so many years, and now that he is together with Guan Ling, he is really alive."

Thinking of this, Yu Dong couldn't help but wonder when his Bona would have its own brand resources and be able to collaborate with big directors?

Tsui Hark is already preparing for the collaboration, but if he can have in-depth exchanges and collaborations with big directors like Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Ning Hao, it will definitely be a huge benefit to Bona.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Guan Ling's prowess inspired other big directors. Although Bona could not invite Guan Ling, it could use other big directors to achieve its own goals.

"Isn't this considered as the support of Lingyun Media?"

Thinking of this, Yu Dong couldn't help but chuckle.

In this film circle, no matter what is discussed, Guan Ling and Lingyun Media are topics that cannot be avoided.

Even if there is really no connection, we still have to see if the movie will conflict with Lingyun Media before releasing it.

Otherwise, you might really die without a burial place.

……

Huang Xiaoming didn't sleep all night.

After learning about the first day's box office results, Huang Xiaoming howled with excitement.

This movie means a lot to Huang Xiaoming.

Previously, the box office of "Never Gone" exceeded 1 billion, making him one step away from Ge You's second place in the box office.

Liu Dehua's two films in the "Detective Dee" series, plus his own movie, are about the same as Ge You's, ranking third.

Huang Xiaoming is the fourth child.

With this result, it is certain that Huang Xiaoming will defeat Ge You’s No. 2.

And looming over the heads of Chinese male actors is Brother Cheng Long, who has been popular in China for decades.

Before this, when Guan Ling was not around, Jackie Chan's movies grossed around 700 to 800 million yuan.

Together with the "Taken" series and "Inception", the domestic box office totaled 31.9 billion.

Although Jackie Chan will soon have movies like "Uncharted" and "Chinese Zodiac", it still takes time, and Huang Xiaoming doesn't think he can break his record now.

But things are always developing in a positive direction. If nothing unexpected happens, if the reputation of "Along with the Gods" does not decline and the box office continues to rise, 75 to million will not be a problem. Huang Xiaoming will be the real number one male actor of the post- Mesozoic era, and he will be able to leave Ge You behind for at least half a year or even a year.

This deterrent power is still quite terrifying.

Although he and Zhou Xun took two different tracks.

But their investments were all correct.

"Sister Xun, why don't you book a place and give your brother a hand?"

After calling Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming shared his joy that he might become the second highest-grossing male actor in mainland China.

"It's fine if you want to book the whole place, but I'm not in the mood for small talk."

Zhou Xun’s answer surprised Huang Xiaoming a little.

"what happened?"

"Wang Shuo and I broke up."

"The one from Beijing's Four Young Masters?" Huang Xiaoming said, "Isn't he pretty good? He's from Beijing and he's a rich second-generation."

"This guy has childish behavior," Zhou Xun said, "Wang Ke, Liu Tao's husband, was also one of the Four Young Masters. The two had some arguments, so Wang Shuo drove his car to confront Wang Ke and was punished by the authorities."

Huang Xiaoming was speechless for a while.

This does sound a bit unreliable.

"So don't talk to me these two days. I'm heartbroken."

Huang Xiaoming suddenly said: "Actually, I broke up too."

There was a sudden silence on both ends of the phone.

“Forget it,” Zhou Xun said.

"It would be fine if Director Guan asked me to help him calm down,"

Huang Xiaoming didn't dare to respond. Although Huang Xiaoming knew that Director Guan was indeed powerful and he had even driven Guan Ling there yesterday, he couldn't reveal a single word to Zhou Xun.

Uh-huh-huh.

He could only agree perfunctorily.

……

China Film.

Han Sanpin couldn't help but sigh when he looked at Brother Chen Kai's first-day box office performance.

He has worked with Brother Chen Kai for too long and knows Brother Chen Kai's level. He also watched the movie at the premiere two days ago and knows the performance of the movie. It should be so.

But then think about Brother Chen Kai before. How come this old man suddenly got it?
Just because of this little brother Guan Ling?

Some media spread rumors, saying that Brother Chen Kai had found a new father.

Han Sanpin also saw it, and he was worried that Brother Chen Kai would be angry, but now he sees that what he said was right!

At least in terms of the movie box office, Guan Ling achieved what Chen Kai's father had helped him with before.

"But this box office is still too shocking."

You should know that the previous "Avengers" and "Men in Black 3" did not achieve this result in the first-day box office.

This is actually not very reasonable.

But Guan Ling's voice is too loud in the mainland.

Movies about Guan Ling are more appealing than Hollywood blockbusters.

But this is Chen Kai's movie, and Guan Ling is the screenwriter.

But it still produced such power.

Han Sanpin squinted his eyes and lay on the big bed at home, but his mind was constantly thinking about things.

"I am about to retire, and matters of profit have nothing to do with me. Although I have a relationship with China Film, which one is greater, the continued cooperation with Guan Ling or the monopoly of imported films?
Can I help Guan Ling and China Film Group create another honeymoon period of ten to eight years before I retire? "

As he was thinking, Han Sanpin fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, many people from China Film Group Corporation and the Film Bureau said that he was a traitor and that he did not protect the interests of the company.

Han Sanpin felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"China Film Group has taken advantage of Lingyun Media and gained benefits. Isn't that enough?"

In their sleep, Han Sanpin's voice was not loud, but it pierced straight into everyone's heart.

"The most important thing is that he is young!"

These four words suddenly woke Han Sanpin up!
He touched his forehead and found it was covered in sweat!

……

That night, the entire film and television industry was shocked.

It’s fine if Guan Ling can achieve this in domestic films, but can others really achieve this?

If this movie was not written by Guan Ling, but it was a good script, would it work?

Many people have doubts.

"Can others create the kind of buzz that Guan Ling can? Besides movies involving Guan Ling, can other domestic movies create miracles?"

Many producers and directors are analyzing it.

Guan Ling's perversion is well known, whether it's awards or box office, that's something in another field.

Ning Hao's previous case has not been thoroughly analyzed because it was a tribute film to Tsinghua University after all.

Many Tsinghua students and young students contributed a lot to the box office.

But it is really worth analyzing why the box office on the first day of "Along with the Gods" was so abnormal.

It even took away the first-day box office of Hollywood blockbusters!
Cheng Long, Lu Chuan, Feng Xiaogang, Wang Jiawei, Wang Jing, many people are paying attention to this movie, including the upcoming "The Four", hoping to learn something from it. So the glamorous Wang Changtian also stayed up all night.

This "Along with the Gods" has opened up a new perspective for domestic films.

Because the previous film "Hot Pot Heroes" was also written by Lingyun Media, but Guan Ling's name was not written on it, and the box office was almost 400 million.

The market for domestic films is actually very large, but many people cannot grasp the rhythm.

While many people were sending congratulatory text messages and Weibo posts to Guan Ling, they were also really thinking about how far they could go.
And when they thought about the money Lingyun Media could earn from this movie, everyone could only shed tears of envy.

When everyone was awake, Brother Chen Kai was also awake.

He showed his prowess and had great ambitions.

Arthur, who was sleeping in the next room, had not slept very well all night, and thought that someone was setting off firecrackers all night long in June.

After a long time, Cheng Hong finally felt comfortable and then she looked at Brother Chen Kai excitedly.

"My husband has finally made it this time, but we didn't get much share. Apart from the director's fee, we didn't make much money."

"Am I short of money?"

Brother Chen Kai said, "Only when you have established yourself, will you be able to do it. At my age, it is the right time to do things!"

Cheng Hong smiled.

Her every frown and smile made Brother Chen Kai feel her demeanor back then.

"Standing firm is what I want." Brother Chen Kai's eyes moved downward, thinking about something.

His previous success was brought to him by the Palme d'Or.

This time, he has truly established himself as a commercial director, and Brother Chen Kai can distinguish the relationship between them.

And Guan Ling brought him so many things.

……

Because many producers and directors have doubts in their hearts.

So the next day, many reporters went to Hong Kong to interview Guan Ling.

Because the crew did not let in, the second wave of news appeared in the evening.

A reporter interviewed Guan Ling after finishing her work with the crew.

"Director Guan, everyone in the news today was shocked by the box office performance of Along with the Gods. The main reason is that while everyone is amazed at how big the domestic film market is, they are also skeptical that if Director Guan hadn't participated, everyone's movie would have achieved such box office success. Director Guan, what do you think about this?"

Guan Ling's interview was posted online in video form.

It quickly became a hot search on Weibo that day.

Guan Ling stretched out her hand in front of the camera.

"Domestic films are like a palm, full of imagination and history, but they are not qualified to be compared with Hollywood blockbusters. This is unreasonable, right?
In my opinion, it is because domestic films do not have a process of accumulation. Accumulation is not achieved overnight, but the audience can understand what they want to see and whether the script is good. You can go and see the ones with the highest Douban scores, such as "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump", etc. Everyone knows that they are good.

Can’t we make domestic films?”

Guan Ling looked at the camera and asked, "I don't believe it."

Then he clenched his fist. "Accumulating power is the process of clenching the fist, and then punching it. Only then can the pattern of domestic films change. It's no use always trying to fool the audience. The compatibility of the plot and the characters, and the logic of the plot, are the top priorities. A great director is also very useful, but word of mouth is very important."

"If you put your heart into it, the audience will vindicate you. It's that simple."

Guan Ling said, "Don't worry about not being able to find a special effects company to complete your special effects, and don't worry about not having enough publicity. As long as you can get your information to me, I can help you."

"But the prerequisite is that you have to be attentive!"

As soon as this news came out, the entire film and television industry fell silent.

And countless audiences were instantly excited! (End of this chapter)
