China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【4650 words! !】

How can you pretend like this? ! !

Guan Ling's casual words left Han Sanpin speechless.

That feeling was not the kind that made him excited by the rising box office, improving word of mouth, and Chinese films getting better and better, or even the feeling of waiting to join in the fun.

But it is more like a kind of indifferent spiritual shock!

He was speechless for a long time, without even a single response.

This assertion almost made Han Sanpin's brain crash!

"Haha, just to get some traffic, I wonder how many shocking quotes this brat will come up with!"

Lu Chuan almost didn't react. After waiting for more than half a minute, he realized what Guan Ling said, and then he was furious.

I'm worried as hell about the possible loss of investment in the movie "The Feast of Kings", and you're saying you're not interested in money?!

If you are not interested, just give it to me!

Lu Chuan really thought so in his heart, but he was not shameless enough to say this out loud.
Guan Ling's remarks really shattered the three views that Lu Chuan, who had been attracting investments to a great extent since "Kekexili" but had always managed to break even, had built up over the past forty years!

"Although I am annoyed by this comparison, I really miss this sentence!"

Lu Chuan suddenly showed a look of disappointment!

But I feel so angry that my teeth are itching!

Are you satisfied?
clothes!
Hate or not,
hatred!
I wish I could skin you alive and eat your flesh!
But for Lu Chuan, it was just hatred.

"My Han investor, do you want to make a decision about this movie? How about you stagger Guan Ling's movie with mine by three weeks?"

Although he suffered a lot of shock, Lu Chuan still remembered the purpose of his visit.

Then, Han Sanpin just thought for a moment.

"Director Lu, when you're working, you have to refer to your position!"

Although it only took a split second, Han Sanpin had already given the answer.

His cold response also made Lu Chuan realize something.

Han Sanpin stood up and waved goodbye to the guest.

Lu Chuan looked puzzled.

After knowing that Lu Chuan had left, Han Sanpin leaned his arms on the table and sighed.

"I had a choice before, but now, for the development of China Film, I have no choice."

Previously, because Lu Chuan's films were invested by China Film, he could arrange better schedules at will, but now he decided to let Guan Ling choose first and then slot in.

In the summer season, Guan Ling has released three blockbusters, "Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds", "Uncharted" and "Scarlet Witch"!
Then who dares to say that it won’t be released during the Lunar New Year holiday?
Han Sanpin was unable to control the situation, which led to a cooperative relationship between Guan Ling and Wanda's Mr. Wang.

However, Han Sanpin has plenty of ways to crush a director who is not favored by Guan Ling and is in a hopeless situation.

As for money?
Very important,
But compared with the cooperative relationship with Guan Ling.

This investment may cost much less.

Han Sanpin has made a full calculation.

At least, he shouldn't let the schedule and the relationship with Lu Chuan deteriorate further, which would lead to a further deterioration of the relationship with Guan Ling.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Previously, Han Sanpin had been very frank with Guan Ling, and Guan Ling's feedback had all been very sincere.

But he couldn't control Guan Ling's continued cooperation.

Nor can we use the Film Bureau’s means to intervene forcefully.

I can only try my best to maintain this relationship which is still pretty good at the moment.

As for Lu Chuan, judging from Guan Ling’s previous call to him on Weibo, he may have become an important part of the relationship between the two.

“I’m really not interested in money.”

Han Sanpin suddenly thought of this and smiled at himself.

……

People in the entertainment industry are already accustomed to all kinds of scenes.

Pretentious quotes are heard everywhere.

The ordinary Gu Tianle.

Ordinary Liu Dehua.

Liu Yifei is the ugliest person in the family.

When Bai Gu was in his prime and at the peak of his looks, he was described as "ordinary" by three ordinary and unrecognizable strong men, which became a classic Versailles example that will never go out of style.

Even when he played Yang Guo, even after 20 or 30 years, he still made people truly understand the sentence:
We met at Fengling Ferry for the first time, and when we saw Yang Guo, we lost our lives.

I only regret that you were already old when I was born, and I miss my old friend in front of the Cliff of Broken Heart.

It has become an irreplaceable version in the hearts of many people.

Liu Dehua has another version of this pretentious quote, which, although ordinary, has made him famous for most of his life.

However, despite her appearance, Liu Yifei has earned the reputation of being the ugliest person in the family.

That perfect face, known as the Fairy Sister, exudes a fairy aura, but this goddess who is loved by everyone said: "I am the ugliest one in the family."

Netizens didn't believe it, so you searched for her mother, her grandmother, and her cousin.

I hehe.

My grandmother is extremely gorgeous, and my mother-in-law and aunt are extremely beautiful.

Many of Liu Yifei's fans could only swallow their bitter pills.

However, these pretentious quotes pale into insignificance in comparison to Guan Ling's speech at this moment.

Not on the same level at all.

At this moment, netizens finally understood what it meant to pretend to be cool.

All of a sudden, the entertainment industry's pretentious limericks came out and instantly became popular all over the Internet.

"Abstract, indeed abstract! The reporter had bad intentions. He originally wanted to set a trap for Guan Ling and put him in a dilemma. If he said it was for money, then they could blacken his reputation and say that he deliberately made a bad movie that he was not satisfied with in order to make money.

If he says that it is not for the sake of making money, then we can stand on the moral high ground and criticize his hypocritical behavior of making movies for the sake of box office but not admitting it.

As a result, Director Guan made a joke that broke the reporters’ defense.”

Netizens burst into laughter.

Han Sanpin and Lu Chuan were preoccupied and didn't pay attention at the time, but netizens watched the interview carefully and many times.

"Did you see the reporter's expression? She didn't laugh out loud, which was the greatest respect she could give to this profession. She held it in for a few times, and although she didn't make any sound, the corner of her mouth still twitched!"

"This incident fully proves that twitching at the corners of the mouth is a normal physiological reaction of human beings. How can acting be more realistic than the reaction caused by a real huge shock to one's heart?!"

"I didn't pay attention at first, but when I saw the female reporter that guy was talking about, she couldn't hold it back. Every time I watch this interview now, I can't help laughing."

"How can people be so pretentious? When I first watched Hong Kong movies and TV series, the lines were really pretentious, but none of them were as direct as this."

"Sorry, money really means you can do whatever you want. If apologies are useful, why do we need the police? Don't get me wrong, I'm not targeting you, I'm saying that what you're doing is rubbish! Who's for it, who's against it? Those pretentious quotes I read back then are nothing in front of our great Guan. I declare that the most pretentious quotes in the entertainment industry have begun to appear!"

As netizens have come to their final conclusion on this topic.

The Internet was in an uproar.

First, the final box office of "Along with the Gods" was 13 billion, and then "Uncharted" blasted nearly 1.7 million in three days. According to predictions, the box office will reach at least 12 billion, and then "Scarlet Witch" will be released soon.

The industry was in uproar, and then fell silent.

It seems that the box office forecast of "Uncharted" is not as good as "Along with the Gods", but "Along with the Gods" is the only one in the market, while "Uncharted" will collide with "Ice Age 4" at the same time, and will also encounter movies such as "The Listener" and "The Lion Roars 2" in the future, so it seems to be under a lot of pressure.

But even so, Uncharted seems to be the champion among these movies in the forecast.

Unless another dark horse emerges.

What's more, this is a movie that Guan Ling said has a very pleasing and not sophisticated script.

It didn't meet my expectations! This kind of pretense is unheard of and unseen!

It has completely paralyzed the entertainment industry!
Previously, when everyone saw Guan Ling's box office, they were probably shocked and amazed. But now, the box office shock that Guan Ling brings to them is far less than before. Instead, the feeling that she is as pretentious as the wind and always around makes everyone feel what cruelty is.

Only people in the industry know the power of Guan Zhuangbi.

And no one dares to confront it head-on.

If this really happens, either you will lose all your money or suffer serious damage.

This is the revelation people got from Ice Age 4.

…………

AIM ASIA FILM PRODUCTIONS LIMITED.

Originally they were going to hold the premiere celebration of "The Whisperer" at the CPPCC Auditorium on August 8, but now they are hesitating.

As Alan Mak and Zhuang Wenqiang looked at the surging waves on the Internet, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Guan Ling has a kind of charm that makes people crazy.

A pretentious quote can become so popular and has such strong stickiness. What if the box office of "Uncharted" falls again? !

"Based on my understanding of Guan Ling, he said that Uncharted was a movie he didn't think was very good, and he didn't talk about Scarlet Witch. Maybe the latter is the blockbuster he is most confident about this summer."

"The question is whether The Listener should be withdrawn. When the Scarlet Witch and Batman fight, the chances of us getting decimated are too high."

"With the support of Liang Zhaowei and Zhou Xun, do we really have to give up the summer season? This period is very lucrative, and according to Guan Ling, he doesn't have that much hope and expectation for Uncharted. So as long as we beat Xiao Shenyang and Zhang Baizhi's The Lion Roars 2, we will most likely have more than half a month to grab the box office."

In a room, two people were discussing.

Everyone has their own opinion. For example, after seeing how powerful "Uncharted" is, Mak Siu-fai wants to avoid it.

By that time, even though "Uncharted" and "Ice Age 4" have already been released for half a month, no one dares to bet whether they will be in decline by then.

But now these two companies have taken up 85% of the market.

It's really frightening.

But Zhuang Wenqiang thinks it is unnecessary.

First of all, "The Whisperer" is a spy-war-themed drama and has no similar competitors in the summer season.

Moreover, the leading actors, Tony Leung, Zhou Xun and Fan Xiaoxuan, are not without the ability to compete with Jackie Chan.

Moreover, the plot is also different, so there is no need to worry that the special effects will dissatisfy the audience.

This movie not only has the charm of spy wars, but also has people with special powers, one of whom is a wind eavesdropper who has extraordinary hearing.

One is a person with special abilities who is good at interpreting dreams.

From this perspective, it is more like a contemporary version of "The Four". As long as it can earn 3 million yuan at the box office in more than half a month during this summer season, plus copyrights and other things, making money will not be a problem.

Both sides fell into silence.

“I think we might as well ask Zhou Xun,” Mai Zhaohui suggested.

"That's feasible." Zhuang Wenqiang nodded.

Beep, beep, the phone rang.

Zhou Xun answered the phone, "Director Zhuang, what can I do for you?"

"We would like to ask for your opinion," Zhuang Wenqiang said, "Sandwiched between Uncharted and Scarlet Witch, Ice Age 4 and Batman, do you think it is necessary to change the release date?"

"Director Zhuang, are you here to find out the secrets?"

Zhou Xun made a joke.

"How can that be? It's your movie after all. If there's a better time, that would be the best."

Zhou Xun thought about it and suddenly remembered "Perfect Stranger", Ning Hao's "Wild Stories", "Extreme Job" produced by Liu Yifei, "Hong Kong Trip" which is currently being filmed in Hong Kong, and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" which was filmed previously, as well as those animated films that have not yet scheduled a specific release date.

My head is buzzing.

September seems to be a good period, but in late September, with the release of National Day movies, the box office may not be as high as the past ten days of the summer vacation.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Xun said sincerely: "I think the summer season is pretty good..."

“Can you tell me the reason?” Mai Zhaohui greeted.

"Perhaps it's because Lingyun Media still has many movies to release, so apart from the summer and Lunar New Year seasons, they might make some money. In unpopular seasons, it's easy to lose all the money, and in normal big seasons, they might be crushed."

Zhou Xun’s calm voice came out.

Then the room fell silent.

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Wenqiang stood up, opened the window and looked outside.

Outside the window, a hot and humid wind blew.

Zhuang Wenqiang's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, his eyes looked out at the outside world with a serious expression.

"Can I really get a piece of the pie in these four big movies?!"

The two of them reunited after "Infernal Affairs". They even sold the copyright of their previous film to Hollywood, and won multiple Oscars. The name of the film was "The Departed", which is generally recognized to be even worse than "Infernal Affairs".

They never doubt their abilities.

And at this moment, they really realized Guan Ling's pretentiousness and arrogance.

Zhuang Wenqiang even had a hint of doubt in his heart.

If this continues, won’t the mainland entertainment industry be dominated by the surname Guan?

The scene of Guan Ling performing with great power at the Oscars came back to his mind.

"Infernal Affairs belongs to China, this is very important!"

The direct, clear and touching support and support made Zhuang Wenqiang always grateful.

"In that case, even though I know I can't beat you, let me see if I can carve out a piece of meat from your grand narrative!"

Zhuang Wenqiang made up his mind.

Since the opponent has that kind of impact like a surging tide, I will use softness to overcome hardness and see if I can compete with "Along with the Gods" for who is the best Chinese-language film of the year!

He had faith and never let down.

Good works will definitely bring good results, and increasing publicity just takes a little time.

His eyes revealed his original ambition.

……

"Director Guan, I've been on the set for ten days."

In the darkness of the night, Guan Ling, who had just finished a day of filming, took a short break.

I was too tired today. Li Yitong and Tang Wei both wanted to sleep with me, and even suggested a plan to prevent Guan Ling from getting tired.

But Guan Ling refused.

I've been pretending to be too cool recently. They all look at me weirdly. Even Guan Ling, who is so thick-skinned, feels a little embarrassed.

Wan Qian sent a text message saying that "Unnatural Death" has already started filming for ten days, and it is a work wholly owned by Lingyun Media, with iQiyi sharing the profits. In terms of attitude towards iQiyi, Guan Ling wants to take a share of iQiyi, but does not want to give iQiyi a share for the time being.

Because competition among video websites is still intensifying.

They rely on Guan Ling.
Now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity to officially enter the streaming media industry while the iron is hot, and to demonstrate our strength in all aspects, thus waiting for the opportunity to go public.

"Shoot well and practice well." Although Guan Ling's encouragement was perfunctory, Wan Qian benefited greatly from it.

After hanging up the text message, Guan Ling made a video call to the editing room of "Perfect Strangers" and reviewed the smoothness of the editing online.

The effect is almost the same as in memory.

Guan Ling even felt more satisfied because it was shot by the Chinese themselves, as many of the small details designed by the actors themselves were indeed presented very well.

Outside the window, there are twinkling stars.

Guan Ling was lying on the bed when he suddenly received a call.

“I’m in Hong Kong.”

Liu Yifei's voice came over,
"I caught the last bus, so I don't have to wait until tomorrow to see you." (End of this chapter)
