China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Late at night, Han Sanpin was the first to receive the news.

The first moment I saw the box office results.

Han Sanpin's mind suddenly popped up Guan Ling's plain words from yesterday.

"It's just a mediocre movie, not worth mentioning."

This is not worth mentioning?!

"If you call this not worth mentioning, then how bad are Chinese movies?!"

Han Sanpin smiled bitterly.

Although I felt sad, I had a big smile on my face.

This is a political achievement, and naturally it also brought him considerable benefits.

It is true that "Ice Age 4" is Huaxia's attempt to increase attendance, but the distribution of this film is actually under the jurisdiction of two companies, China Film and Huaxia.

As a joint venture film, the distribution rights of "Uncharted" belong to China Film Group and Lingyun Film Group.

There is a subtle balance in this.

Therefore, Han Sanpin was willing to let these two dramas compete with each other, which could not only give time to other domestic films, but also create a sufficient battlefield of public opinion.

In the end, whoever wins.

Collect money from both ends.

How happy?
Throughout the end of July and the beginning of August, China Film also released several films independently, such as "The Mechanic", "Space One", "The Escape", "The Mountain and the Sea", etc. Even the dark horse "The Grudge", the distribution company was affiliated with China Film and Yongxu Liangchen.

It is worth mentioning that Yongxu Liangchen is one of the few extremely low-key companies in the industry.

Such a small company participated in the creation of "The Founding of a Party" in 2010, and won the 31st Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for Best Director, Best Actor (nominated), and Best Screenplay (nominated).

The Ghost in the Shell, released in 2012, has now seemingly broken the "low box office" curse of mainland horror films! It has successfully become the annual horror box office champion! Just 500 days after its release, this film, based on an investment of 4100 million yuan, has achieved a box office of million yuan, which has impressed the Chinese film industry.

Roughly speaking, reaching 60 million is not a problem!
But to say that I was deeply touched is really an exaggeration.

It’s just that the box office ceiling for this genre is just here, so it doesn’t seem to be very popular.

And compared with Guan Ling.

Let’s sprinkle some water.

But even so, he did create the first series of thriller film brands.

Moreover, as a domestic horror film that has always been criticized, there is no problem for it to quietly make a profit of nearly 20 million.

When the second and third parts of the series are released, the box office should not be too low, at least it can attract the small group of people who like horror movies.

It can be considered a different kind of mountain pioneer.

All of this stems from their company boss Liu Xufeng's control over quality products.

However, it is worth mentioning that this company did a great job in its previous life. In 2015, they shot the film "Go Away Tumor" which represented Chinese-language films in the Oscars.

Now, they are trying to cooperate with China Film to produce a big ship that can break the ceiling of China's box office, and they have already made a rough plan.

So the guy in China Film Group was actually a scumbag, and he worked with many people, not just Guan Ling.

…………

Yongxu Liangchen Films.

Since the movie "The Immortal Pen" produced by Liu Xufeng is still in theaters, and it has only been released for half a month,

So he did pay a little more attention to his competitors.

Recently, the decline of "The Four" has become apparent, while "The Ghostly Pen" is still slowly climbing.

"The Four" only had 3400 million at the box office last week, making it the weakest champion in recent months. This so-called martial arts movie with a Hollywood superhero vibe was evaluated online in just five words.

Bad movie, really bad movie!

The current attendance is very poor, with only 16 people per game on average.

Liu Xufeng scoffed at this result.

He just focused on his own performance.
Liu Xufeng is especially excited during the early morning hours, because this is the best time to watch a horror movie.

In the cinema, it was dark and everything was done with just a pull of the little hand.

Some people like to watch horror movies because they really like them, while some people like to watch horror movies to deal with female ghosts.

Liu Xufeng was dealing with his female ghost in a low-key manner, with his mobile phone placed on the ghost's waist, and he was also checking the news at all times.

However, this female ghost has a perfect waist-to-body ratio, with slim waist and rounded hips, which makes it particularly suitable to use the Nine Yin White Bone Claw when dealing with female ghosts, and you have to use more force.

Someone once interviewed him about what movies are and how he found his current beautiful girlfriend.

He believes that film is the greatest invention of mankind. This non-academic and non-theoretical answer is both comprehensive and thought-provoking, making people feel very gratified and expectant.

Then when talking about his girlfriend, he was very frank, it was because of Mane, and more Mane.

Compared to people's expectations of him, he has always believed that he only started making movies in 2010, and that he essentially has the same extraordinary abilities as Guan Ling.

"At the premiere yesterday, your chief film critic said your movie was mediocre. I want to see if you are really that awesome."

Liu Xufeng roughly estimated the time and felt that the first day's box office would soon be released.

Suddenly, the news was refreshed.

The number appeared clearly in front of Liu Xufeng.

In a bit of excitement, he moved too fast and made a groan when he backstabbed.

"Uh-huh-huh."

Liu Xufeng also suddenly felt that his previous expectations of his own extraordinary abilities seemed to be too high.

Those few numbers, like a glaring notice dropped from the sky, completely shattered the expectations, recognition, and sense of invincibility that his previous small achievements had brought him.

First day box office: 5423 million!
The first-day box office performance of "Ice Age 4" was only 3846 million!
The gap is obvious.

As an imported blockbuster with a glaring difference in production cost, "Uncharted" directly surpassed "Ice Age 4" and topped the list on the first day!

Not to mention "Uncharted", even "The Grudge", which has been released for nearly half a month, does not have as good a box office performance as others in one day.

Liu Xufeng felt cold all over in an instant.

"Hey, hey, hey, are you still going to do it?"

As his whole body became cold, his girlfriend also shuddered and felt chilled.

???

The beautiful girlfriend looked confused.

Seeing Liu Xufeng looking at his mobile phone, he went over and took the phone away.

Then she saw the box office of "Uncharted", but she was not very sensitive to numbers. Instead, she saw the extremely handsome Zhu Yawen and the slightly old Jackie Chan.

My girlfriend suddenly became a little flustered.

"I said, you don't like men anymore, do you?"

"Why else would you suddenly become incapable?"

"You don't like men, do you want to be a 0?!" The girlfriend was confused.

Because Liu Xufeng still didn't say anything, he just silently pointed to the box office number.

Then, his girlfriend's words, like a biting cold wind in summer, pierced his chest directly!

"You're not going to compete with Guan Ling, are you?!" The girlfriend sneered and chuckled lightly, "There's no need to compete with him, just relax. You can't compare with him, and compared to him, you're really no match for him. He's the dream of 900 million girls. And you're just because you have a little money."

There was a crash.

Liu Xufeng felt that all his previous efforts were completely shattered by his girlfriend in an instant, and everything was in vain. His sense of self-identity was completely transformed into a fantasy bubble and then shattered into a piece of mud.

boom!
Liu Xufeng fell on the bed and fainted!

……

No one knows that those who have the ambition to confront Guan Ling but do not have the ability will be defeated by the truth.

The truth is indeed a sharp knife.

I don't know if I can teach Liu Xufeng the hard truth that he should be tough when he needs to be tough, and be cowardly when he needs to be cowardly. When you compare yourself with someone who is far inferior to you, you will always end up with a bloody mess.

Eventually, I had no choice but to accept my mediocrity.

Or you can turn it into motivation and make it the spiritual source of your own efforts.

But Guan Ling didn't know all this.

At the same time, the entire entertainment industry was shocked by the first-day box office of "Uncharted".

"Uncharted's first-day box office was 5423 million, exceeding the first-day box office of Forever Young and even this year's Along with the Gods. It is currently ranked second in the first-day box office of 2012, second only to the movie A Wind Rises released during the Lunar New Year holiday. The latter also originated from Guan Ling."

"Uncharted's first-day box office was outstanding, surpassing the previous highest daily average of the Taken trilogy series!"

"The first day box office is strong! Uncharted, starring Jackie Chan and Julian Chu, has become the top action movie of the year!"

In the middle of the night, news on major portals was still buzzing and noisy.

On many forums, many netizens made sharp comments on this.

"You're just calling it a bad movie, why don't you just stay at the top!"

"A mediocre work. If this is a mediocre work, what kind of a rubbish movie is "The Four"? Is it a shitty movie?!"

Wang Changtian: Hey, man, put away your impulse!
The fuck is coming at me!

Wang Changtian feels so miserable!
He is in big trouble now. Guan Ling's imperial edict said that his movie is mediocre. Now he is the innocent victim.

It was clearly the weekly box office champion for the past three weeks, and it also made money, but it still received a lot of criticism.

Some were even dragged out and beaten repeatedly.

You punch me, I punch you.
He was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen.

Only then did Wang Changtian realize what Guan Ling meant when he asked him to run 39 meters first.

But is your sword forty meters long?
It's about to be split in half!
When Chen Jiayi saw the effect, he was so shocked that he called Wang Changtian carefully to ask,

"Boss, are you still going to make this series?"

Director Chen was panicking!

If we continue filming this!

The reputation is ruined!
This is no longer a question determined by the movie, but has become a kind of meme.

No matter who the previous box office champion was, unless it was a well-received film, such as "Along with the Gods", it would most likely have this ending.

Movie, what are you playing with?
You blacken yourself and I become famous!
Guangxian was originally cheerful, but now he stopped smiling.

I originally thought that I could quietly hide away and run away after making money.

As a result, he was forced to sit at the poker table.

It’s still the clown’s table.

…………

Entertainment all day long.

Wang Jinghua sighed silently when she saw the first day's box office results.

Rubbed his brows.

If this continues, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Zhu Yawen's ascension speed was too fast.
Although everyone knows that Zhu Yawen is Guan Ling's brother, she can't control other people's jealousy.

In the WeChat group, his actors have been speaking out.

Hu Jun: "Hey, that kid... um, Director Guan is really awesome, he's going to send Xiao Zhu to the sky!"

Lu Yi: "I really envy Xiao Zhu. If there were people like Guan Dao in my era, I don't know how great it would be."

"Brother Cheng Long came from an earlier generation than us. Come to think of it, we all have no characteristics. If we did, how could Director Guan not give us the opportunity to show them? Even if it's a supporting role." Ren Quan also said.

"Only by cultivating yourself and honing yourself can you have a chance."

Chen Daomin also sent a WeChat message. He had just woken up in the middle of the night.

As soon as Chen Daomin spoke, everyone fell silent.

Despite the majesty and status here, some people still dare not act rashly.

Especially the messages he sent, I couldn’t respond to them.

Right, right?!

It's a bit disrespectful.

A moment later, Wang Jinghua released a message, "I have asked Zhu Yawen, he has no plans to go to Hollywood for the time being, and his next drama is tentatively scheduled to be in China. I will help him find a TV series in which he can play the male lead. In addition, if Guan Ling wants him to play a new drama, I will strive for more opportunities for everyone."

The group replied quickly that they had received the message, but they showed little interest.

This is not the first time, but in fact, only Chen Daomin has played this role, and it was Guan Ling who personally decided on it.

These people can't reach it.

Just discuss it, don’t expect too much from anything else!

……

During the day, more and more reviews of "Uncharted" and "Ice Age 4" were published.

"This is a very good film. The plot is quite complicated and intertwined. A lot of technology is used and the actors' skills are also good. It is definitely worth watching!"

“I didn’t have any expectations at first, I was just interested in the adventure and treasure-hunting theme, but my mindset changed after watching it.

The story is a typical treasure-hunting plot, except that the target is the gold accumulated by Magellan's fleet during its voyage around the world, which was hidden somewhere in the Philippines in order to embezzle it.

The movie adds a lot of brilliance to the already uninteresting story, and the director is not bad. The special effects in several big scenes are much more visually impactful than the current "Taken". They are very powerful!

The directing is just so-so, the characterization, plot handling, and plot arrangement are all mediocre and monotonous, but the casting is exceptionally good. Cheng Long was born for this movie, and Zhu Yawen also gave his least muddy acting performance. Amber is so pretty, I really want to fuck her. "

"Upstairs, I suspect Guan Ling may have already put a red sofa for him."

"Why are you upstairs...locking up the dog is my fault!"

"I hate locking up dogs!"

"Who knows Guan Gou's address? I want to send him razor blades. Liu Yifei must have them. I'm her fan."

"She may have been placed on a red sofa before."

Suddenly, the fan fell silent.

Many of Liu Yifei’s fans were broke.

And the box office of this movie is still gradually becoming brilliant.

"The next day's box office closed at 5015 million per day!"

"The total box office for the first three days was 16784 million!"

Han Sanpin looked confused.

Brother Chen Kai looked pale, somewhat worried that his movie’s box office would be wiped out.

When Jiang Wen saw the first week's box office, he couldn't help but gasp.

But Guan Ling's interviews and speeches continue to cause a sensation.

When the news media asked Guan Ling whether she thought the movie was mediocre, Guan Ling only admitted that the script structure of the movie was not sophisticated.

Afterwards, Guan Ling posted a message on Weibo.

“Whether Uncharted is a masterpiece or not is not my place to judge, but in terms of special effects and action, we have achieved the pinnacle of this script.

Back to the script, I am someone who can write an Oscar-winning script, but that won’t last forever.

As for this movie, I want many people in the Chinese industry to see it. Even if it is an ordinary script, as long as the characters are reasonable and the plot and special effects are thoughtful, it can still create high box office and become a popcorn movie that people are willing to watch.

This is the revelation that the two films, "Aquaman" and "Uncharted", gave me. Chinese audiences are very kind and are far from being as petty as rumored on the Internet.

So please be kind to your audience.”

This news instantly caused an uproar in the entertainment industry and stirred up many people's nerves! (End of this chapter)
