China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【4920 words! 】

As the wife of the head of Fox, Wendi Deng does know more about the Hollywood film market than many people.

Previously, Guan Ling's "Inception", "2012", and even "Aquaman" all achieved good results in North America and caused quite a stir.

But Wendi Deng was not too shocked.

Because those three films have their own style and are pure style films.

"Inception" has become a global hit with its top-notch directing and editing skills.

The plot of "2012" is very simple, but it has overwhelming doomsday propaganda, which later made Hollywood study Guan Ling's publicity strategies and methods and was greatly shocked.

"Aquaman" is purely because of the ocean special effects. This kind of unique special effects is the first of its kind even in Hollywood. If we have to talk about a very similar special effect, it would still be "Avatar" in 2010.

But this time, after watching the movie "Scarlet Witch" in China in person, Wendi Deng's words were full of doubts.

Because Guan Ling used the pure quick-fix methods of the Hollywood industrial system to complete a superhero movie that Disney, Warner and other companies rely on for their survival.

To sum up:

A good person with a good personality, who once did something that hurt others,
After experiencing great changes, he suddenly wakes up and is determined to uphold justice, but will encounter resistance from villains.

The protagonist faces great difficulties in the process, but through unyielding efforts, he finally defeats the villain and achieves world peace.

There are usually very simple elements in it: the transformation of the protagonist, the setting of the villain, conflicts and challenges, growth and change, until the climax and ending.

Movies like "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", "Avengers" all have the same structure.

This makes it easier for the audience to understand and follow the plot, making the story more compact and engaging.

This movie is completely based on this framework. It is a superhero movie created by Chinese directors and screenwriters in collaboration with the six major Hollywood studios.

Is it shocking?
For Wendi Deng, what shocked her was not only the plot of the movie, but also the fact that Guan Ling, based on Hollywood's heavy industry level, achieved a successful heavy industry practice led by the Chinese.

IP is indeed something that Chinese films cannot learn.

However, these styles, these achievements, and these experiences can be completely copied to Chinese films.

In particular, this movie highlights the filming of people, which is slightly different from superhero movies like "Aquaman". And that movie was at least filmed by James Wan, who has been influenced by Hollywood for many years and was controlled by him throughout the process.

To put it bluntly, if Disney hired someone to shoot this movie about Guan Ling, it would be so realistic in the Hollywood market that it would be hard to tell the difference!
——It’s really invincible.

Fox has learned from Disney for so many years, and "X-Men" began filming in 2006. However, due to the mistakes and misjudgments of senior management, it missed the best time for superhero movies. Subsequent works such as "Wolverine 1" also failed to achieve the expected results, resulting in Fox's superhero movies being far less popular than the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

It also completely failed to fully utilize the potential of the X-Men.

Wendi Deng really didn't expect that something that Fox couldn't shoot was accomplished by Guan Ling.

And it happened so quickly and so violently.

That's why he let out that shocking sigh.

After Wendi Deng finished speaking, Han Sanpin also fell silent and re-examined the movie.

Wendi Deng said: "This movie, Guan Ling will definitely be a success, because he has set a record."

"Oh? What record?"

"It's the first Hollywood female superhero movie," said Wendi Deng. "Just the title alone is enough to earn $300 million at the North American box office."

Wendi Deng laughed.

From the 20s to the present, the third wave of feminist movement has begun in countries mainly in the United States and Europe, and has continued to this day. During this period, the feminist movement has become more diversified, involving not only bodily autonomy, but also sexual orientation equality, racial equality and other aspects.

The specific things vary.

For people like them, why is America the country that respects women's freedom the most?

But there is no female superhero movie? This has always been criticized.

And this play may indeed become the banner of this group of people in North America,
In other words, as long as it's not too bad, it can create a hurricane in Hollywood.

Besides, this movie really isn’t bad!
No matter whether it was the first time when he met Captain America, Captain America Evans asked Fan Bingbing, what are your abilities?
Fan Bingbing smiled slightly and said no Captain America.

Evans is fucking gone.

In a small space, Captain America was specially chosen to make a guest appearance. He was completely crushed by extremely shocking solids in a place full of glass and crystal, and even his bones were almost shattered into pieces.

Then Fan Bingbing released Captain America directly.

This one performance alone is enough to express Scarlet Witch's bug-level strength.

It also caused countless audience members to exclaim.

In fact, it’s not that female superheroes are unpopular, it’s just that they are not filmed well.

The role played by Fan Bingbing is popular with both men and women.

Female: Fan Bingbing is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome!
Male: Big breasts, big breasts, big breasts. The breasts are really fucking big.

Anyway, everyone can see what they like.

In particular, the bug-level abilities of Scarlet Witch are too incredible. She can manipulate chaos magic, change reality, manipulate matter and energy, read and control thoughts, fly, etc.

It sounds invincible.

This is why her strength is the strongest among superheroes and she is even called the mother of all things.

As the most elegant, full-bodied and capable young actress in China, and a well-known actress in Hollywood and global film and television, Fan Bingbing is 100% suitable for this role.

So, Wendi Deng couldn't help but be shocked.

As for the others at the scene.

Yu Dong had nothing to say and just remained silent.

Feng Xiaogang also came to watch the movie. After watching the Hollywood superhero movie and seeing Fan Bingbing's performance in it, Feng Xiaogang clicked his tongue and kept scratching his head.

"When Fan Bingbing was filming with me before, he didn't seem so far away, did he?"

When Fan Bingbing was filming "Cell Phone" with him, she was still a little Karami. Now, ten years have passed, and Feng Xiaogang feels that he can no longer afford her.

Jiang Wen sat quietly in the front row.

Jiang Wen was a little indignant because some people scolded him during this period.

"I'm awesome! I won the Golden Lion Award? I made 500 million for my commercial film? You, a bunch of ignorant viewers, have no idea how much I've done for you just for that little bit of jealousy? How many dumplings have I made? You can criticize me for that?"

This time, Jiang Wen also came to attend the premiere so that he could say a few words to Guan Ling in person.

After all, the two of them are familiar with each other, and there are some things that cannot be said online. If they can't even say a few words in person, Jiang Wen feels that he can suffocate himself completely.

But after watching the movie, Jiang Wen really didn't know where to start what he wanted to say.

Are you criticizing Guan Ling for not understanding art? She has won more awards than you.

Are you criticizing Guan Ling for not understanding business? Fan Bingbing is acting in a Hollywood movie, and Jiang Wen has to bow his head. Guan Ling may not be able to act in his own drama, but he definitely can't act in Guan Ling's drama.

In fact, Jiang Wen also wanted to show off, for example, he sprayed reporters' questions in front of them as if they were idiotic, or described a movie as bland and tasteless as boiled water.

Or when the reporter asked him,
"There are so many directors in China, which one is the best?"

"Not now, but there will be some time later."

"Who?"

"I!"

But these were all previous thoughts, all false…only Guan Ling was real.

For the first time, Jiang Wen felt that if he really argued until his face turned red and his neck became thick, he would be very clownish.

And Guan Ling was just firing indiscriminately, not at himself.

Just keep your head down.

Directors are just like actors, they just need to be able to bend and stretch!
When Ning Jing was filming a movie with me, I asked her to take off her clothes, and she had to show her high beams even though she didn't want to!
This is the director’s prerogative!
Do you think you can show it just because you are asked to? The director has to watch it closely with a camera! This thing can add drama! As long as the director is awesome, he can just shout, "If you like me, please turn on the lights!"
They have to keep it open!

Now Guan Ling didn't let me take it off, but even if she did, would I still not take it off?!
Their level is there for everyone to see. Not to mention attacking Chinese directors, even if they say in Hollywood right now that you are no match for them, many Hollywood directors would prick up their ears and listen.

I knock! Jiang Wen felt so uncomfortable thinking about this!

I wish I were that fierce! But why am I not that fierce?
Guan Ling is so awesome!
It’s so fucking awesome!
Wang Changtian narrowed his eyes. No one in the circle knew that he had reached some agreement with Guan Ling.

In the future, Guangxian will be Lingyun's little brother who can do whatever he wants.

Make money, don’t shiver!
In this world, how many people can make money by standing?

How many men are kneeling and how many women are lying down?

After all, Wang Changtian had a hard time, and he had built his market through real struggle. In 1999, in order to produce a TV program, Wang Changtian put a lot of effort into it. When he got involved in the film industry for the first time, he encountered Guan Ling's rising fame.

Just six or seven years passed.

The situation is much better than in the first movie, but most of it is due to Guan Ling.

If you really want to develop, you must work harder and harder.

Now that this agreement has been reached, Guangxian will only benefit and not suffer any harm. At least in the field of youth films and animation, Guangxian has its own track and can also become a vassal of Guan Ling.

It's not a bad thing.

Besides, he wasn't kneeling.

Wang Changtian silently cheered himself up.

"Follow Director Guan and you will have all the happiness."

He seemed to have seen the distant future... Maybe I could be one of the producers of the 10 billion box office created by Director Guan in the future.

"That's it, that's it!"

Wu Jing almost jumped up from below!
"It's this structure. Can't the Chinese take a picture of it?"

“The camera must follow the protagonist, so that the audience can empathize with him/herself or with the general group. The character Fan Bingbing has a harmonious family at the beginning, but then both his parents die. This is the driving force!
But she has magical skills, which would be difficult to achieve if the film was shot in China and in a normal movie.

That means you must have certain abilities and identities, such as a martial arts superstar, a Shaolin monk, a Taoist priest descending from the mountain, or a special forces soldier!"

This person does not necessarily have to be great and glorious, but he must be a good person in the secular sense.

This is image creation, so the character must show himself in the conflict, be flesh and blood, and be like a living person.

For example, the confusion of the two leading actors in "Infernal Affairs".

When China makes a superhero movie, it is normal to be confused, just like Fan Bingbing's loss of speech and entanglement after hurting ordinary people in the movie.

If Hua Xia were to film the film, there couldn't be too much preparation for human nature.

More importantly, it cannot be a plot like tearing the Japanese apart with bare hands. The plot must be reasonable and the protagonist must be very powerful.

There must be a motivating event such as revenge. For example, if the protagonist is a soldier or a special forces soldier, he must be brave and have a sense of responsibility.

There must be one thing that connects the story's beginning, progression, crisis, climax and ending.

The beginning of the story must be very small, often a very specific and perceptible scene and world.

This is often the case with Hollywood blockbusters, either starting with the protagonist's family life with his wife, or a warm family with children, like Fan Bingbing.

Or like in "Jason Bourne", wake up on a ship in the ocean.

As for the scenes he wanted to shoot, he needed to choose scenes that were easier for everyone to empathize with.

Like, “Demolition?”

For example, "entertainment industry"?
The drug-taking incidents that are often reported online... Ji Xiaolan's son was detained for more than ten days at the beginning of the year. This can describe a person who is deeply saddened and extremely disgusted by the audience, causing his relatives to be affected and addicted to drug taking, and can also cater to the emotions of some people who criticize the entertainment industry...

Thinking of this, Wu Jing suddenly became clear!

He couldn't wait to go home and write the script!

He felt like there were a lot of loose threads in his mind, and they were straightened out in an instant.

……

And not just the directors in the audience.

The stars in the audience were also extremely shocked.

"This is a strong enemy!" Liu's mother looked at Fan Bingbing and suddenly her expression became a little ugly.

She seems to be a little older than Yifei, but she has a good figure. Compared with Fan Bingbing, Yifei is like a flat plate.

And judging from the status, it is not difficult to surpass Liu Yifei now?
Although Liu Yifei has four big blood bags, there are also global blood bags such as "Hearing Girl" in the movie.

But Fan Bingbing has two really big bags.

We need to think of a solution.

Mother Liu glanced at Guan Ling over there and decided to supervise personally. She wanted to get Guan Ling to stay at her home today before he went to Venice, and supervise him personally so that the two of them could hurry up and have a baby.

Otherwise I'll be nervous.

As a mother-in-law, it’s not impossible for her to supervise personally!

Thinking of this, Liu's mother narrowed her eyes.

The first thing that needs to be paid attention to is that Guan Ling must not get into Fan Bingbing's car.

In these last few days before Venice, either let Guan Ling stay at his house, or let Liu Yifei go with him.

The child must be born between the embryos as soon as possible!
……

After the premiere.

Movies such as "Scarlet Witch: Origin of Chaos", "The Amazing Spider-Man", and "The Dark Knight Rises" have ushered in a head-on confrontation.

Many media outlets have written many film reviews specifically for this purpose.

"The real confrontation between Guan and Nolan in "Inception" may be reproduced in "Scarlet Witch" and "The Dark Knight"! In the first round, Guan Ling won. With the blessing of "The Father", Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Director two years ago. As the second-best director of the film, Nolan unfortunately lost the Oscar. Now, the two are facing off, who will be the better one?!"

"Huaxia Entertainment Weekly: Guan Ling's Hollywood achievements may crush the Hollywood film industry along with his slogans!"

"Arrogant or confident? Three Hollywood blockbusters are released in China and the United States at the same time. Lionsgate, Lingyun, Disney VS Columbia Pictures, VS Time Warner, who will win?"

The next day, the news had even reached Venice.

Italy's largest national newspaper Corriere della Sera officially published an exclusive interview with Guan Ling, who will be attending the Venice Film Festival.
The shocking and exaggerated title made countless Italian filmmakers gasp in amazement.

The title is called:

"The crazy Chinese emperor is approaching the Port of Venice..."

Because of Guan Ling's call, the world's attention turned to Hollywood, Venice, and the Chinese mainland film market, where a fierce battle began!
