China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

4500 words! !

Once upon a time, the Chinese people had regarded the good news from Venice as a fresh delicacy every autumn.
From the earliest "A City of Sadness" directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien in 1989, which won the Golden Lion,
Later, the well-known "Qiu Ju Goes to Court" and "No One Less"
Chinese-language films have been a highlight at the Venice Film Festival for 20 years.

When Barbera took office in 2012, he had three films related to Guan Ling in the main competition, which won him the recognition of every Chinese journalist.

"Perfect Stranger", "Wild Tales", and Zhang Ziyi's "Gone Girl", three consecutive films competing for the Lion Award in the main competition of Venice, belong to Guan Ling, Ning Hao, and David Fincher.

This has made Venice extremely popular this year.

But no matter how popular Venice is, it is not as popular as Jingtian.

As the saying goes, when a man chases a woman, there’s a mountain between them.

When a woman pursues a man, there is a veil between them.

Guan Ling herself didn't want to touch it, but Jing Tian was too proactive.

I can't bear it!

He even asked Guan Ling to take a short video as evidence so that he wouldn't have to worry about her bringing up the past in the future. What he meant was that he just wanted to have a moment of joy without getting entangled.

This……

Don't worry too much.

Guan Ling is just an ordinary person.

In his previous life, Jing Tian had many kissing scenes during filming, although they were all at the end of the movie "The Great Wall".
He has kissed Si Teng and Zhang Wanyi.

It’s not that chaotic now.

It would be an exaggeration to say that I don't feel any interest at all.

Since they took the initiative, Director Guan naturally didn't mind Saidan going over.

Jing Tian was also happy and excited. Not only did he receive Guan Ling's final promise, but they would collaborate on a good movie at the latest next year.

And she also got a taste of Director Guan.

Even Jingtian himself didn't know whether he liked movies more or his thoughts about Director Guan more.

After all, sometimes he is brighter than the sun.

For many years before today, I have always been fantasizing about what would happen between me and Director Guan.

Wait until it actually happens.

She was actually more excited.

How fresh?!
Jing Tian has always been a person in a high position. Whatever role she wants to play, someone will arrange it for her. If she wants to go to Hollywood, someone will help her contact Hollywood.

Others helped her operate it.

And now, hey,
Still the superior.

……

"Guan, long time no see."

The next day, Guan Ling met David Fincher in Venice.

The two of them exchanged familiar greetings.

The two were rivals at the 2010rd Academy Awards in 83.

Today, the two are still rivals, but they are on one end of the scale.

"Long time no see, David. This is Ning Hao, a very famous young director in China."

Guan Ling introduced Ning Hao to David Fincher, and her English was excellent.

Ning Hao looked confused after hearing this.

However, when he heard that he was the director of "The Social Network", Ning Hao couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

This person is indeed familiar.

"I say, Guan, you've been acting a bit aggressive lately. I heard you and Nolan have a bet?"

"There was indeed one, but he was in my territory and I knocked him down with three consecutive punches."

Guan Ling smiled happily.
"I'm not sure about this, but in North America, Nolan is under some pressure. I just took a look and the box office figures for the first four days of the film are out. The box office figures for both of you are comparable. Nolan's seems to be about 10 million US dollars higher than yours."

While speaking, David Fincher checked the data on his mobile phone.

Although people come to Venice, their mobile phones are still American versions.

The above software is all available.

"It's confirmed. The first week box office of The Dark Knight Rises in North America was far below the industry's expectation of $1.8-1.9 million, and only took in $1.579 million. Your movie took in $1.503 million in its first week."

Hear David Fincher say it.

Whether it was Jing Tian, ​​Zhang Ziyi, Wan Qian, or Ning Hao, they all looked confused.

They have been busy with film festivals abroad these days and are quite busy. They haven't paid much attention to domestic news, let alone North American news.

"What about The Amazing Spider-Man? Has it become the third place?" Although this movie was not on Guan Ling's betting list, Guan Ling still asked curiously.

“Let me take a look,” David smiled, “More than $1.1 million, Guan, I have to say that you have created a miracle together.

The United States has never achieved such a high total box office in a single week, not even in seven days.

And this was after the shooting in Colorado.
It's incredible. "

"It's not surprising. After all, Americans are free. In a free America, shootings are not a big deal."

David laughed too, "Are you cursing at us Americans?"

“It’s a celebration of freedom.”

"Even if you say so." David Fincher said with a frown, "I am from Denver, Colorado. But I do agree with you on one point. Gunfights do break out here from time to time."

Hey this!

Guan Ling stopped joking. This was unexpected!
Who could have known that David Fincher was actually on the shooting side.

Change the subject quickly.

"What are your next work arrangements?"

"We're going to make a movie based on a Swedish mystery novel. It's a thriller or suspense movie."

As soon as he mentioned Sweden, Guan Ling knew what movie it was.

The only movie Sweden was famous for in its previous life was "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and the movie was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress.

It is indeed a Nordic classic.

However, Guan Ling was not too interested in this drama.

I even feel that this kind of movie is not as good as the Hollywood original "The Accidental Murderer", and it does not have the profound connotation of "The Invisible Guest".

Let’s summarize it as a whole.

That is,

A person was lost forty years ago, and a detective was hired forty years later. A handsome uncle with muscles and a beautiful girl with tattoos teamed up with a new human being, working together under the bed and having sex in the bed. Find the murderer and take down the opportunist. There is a saying: two girls who betrayed their father, an incestuous murder.

Not logical.

That is to say, the Albizia julibrissin is a little worth seeing, but it is not suitable for the whole family to watch.

In fact, even if this kind of movie is adapted in the country, it will be difficult to pass the review.

After just a few words, Guan Ling didn't mention it again.

...

In the eyes of Chinese audiences, it always feels that the gorgeous Cannes is not far away and always lingers in their minds.

In the blink of an eye, the solemn and majestic lion came quietly.

Although it may be slightly inferior to the previous Cannes event which was packed with superstars and masters, it is the only bright spot in the Chinese discussion.

However, no one in the industry had predicted the chances of these two films winning awards.

Even Guan Ling himself had no idea.

His main purpose is to sell films and promote them, so as to inform the entire Chinese film industry and even the world film industry.

Low-budget movies also have their day.

Think about it, after the release of three low-budget movies, "Perfect Stranger", "Wild Tales" and "Lost in Thailand",
After the low-budget movie "Gone Girl" was released in North America,
How much impact and influence can it have on the film market.

Again, respect the audience.

The television and film industry should not be a holy place for money laundering, but a breeding ground for many films such as "Mao Pian" and "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

It’s just that many people nowadays are blinded.

But for the audience, no matter how much Guan Ling is praised, it is not excessive.

After all, there are two Chinese-language films shortlisted.

One of the four Hollywood movies was produced by Guan Ling.

China and the United States are almost on an equal footing in Venice.

In the past two years, Guan Ling did not go to Cannes, but won the Berlin Golden Bear and the Annie Award. And this year at Venice, there are still many strong competitors.

After winning the Palme d'Or with the masterpiece "The Tree of Life" that killed countless brain cells and made people confused,
In just over a year, the imaginative Terrence Malick once again had his new work "To the Wonderland" shortlisted for the main competition unit of this year's Venice Film Festival without any suspense, becoming one of the strongest contenders for the Golden Lion Award.

This guy also has a blockbuster movie "Knight of the Holy Grail" coming out next year. Looking at all three movies, all of them are star-studded and all of them are quite good.

Putting aside the big stars, this guy's consistent pursuit of perfection in the grand and spectacular audio-visual senses is enough to make people look forward to it.

Another strong rival is "The Master", the new film by Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of "There Will Be Blood", which has won great reputation and awards.

Some even claim that this movie is a huge favorite for next year's Oscars.

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately attracted the enthusiastic attention of many movie fans, whetting everyone's appetite and making people look forward to it.

But for Guan Ling, he was more concerned about the Asian Legion this time.

Asian films should not be underestimated. Takeshi Kitano once again entered Venice with his exciting new work "Outlaws 2" to compete for the Golden Lion.

Kim Ki-duk finally saw the light after a long absence. He brought his masterpiece "Pieta" to the eager anticipation of many loyal fans.
No clues can be seen from the few stills, but it is sure to still bring a strong spiritual and visual shock to movie fans.

Guan Ling remembered that in his previous life, it was Kim Ki-duk who won the last Golden Lion Award.

On the other hand, except for Guan Ling and Ning Hao, the rest of the Chinese-speaking team are still happy to play a supporting role.

It seems that for the increasingly prosperous Chinese-speaking army,

It seems that the recognition of the quality of the film itself by the award has long become secondary, and the commercialization of everything is the top priority.

The trading market, high attention, the dazzling red carpet, and the waves of public opinion topics,

It seems to be the only ridiculous highlight for Chinese-speaking people at the film festival other than Guan Ling.

In fact it is.

...

at the opening ceremony.

Guan Ling met Chen Kexin, who came over specially to say hello. The two were not familiar with each other, so they just exchanged casual greetings.

But he was wearing a black suit and looked very gentlemanly.

Later on the red carpet, Chinese and foreign actresses competed with each other in stunning beauty, which attracted Guan Ling's attention.

A little while later, Violante Bellasto was wearing a red dress that dragged on the floor, showing off her white and tender breasts and legs.

After a while, she wore a Fiammetta white see-through lace dress, which showed her curves and voluptuousness.
Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Carmen Chaplin walked the red carpet, showing off her sexy breasts in a black dress.

Actresses from all walks of life showed off in the cafeteria.

And most of them are very sexy hollow see-through outfits,
Ning Hao stood up repeatedly after seeing this.

Xing Aina stood aside with a look of disappointment on her face.

"You, you, why do you still let Director Guan take you out in the future?"

Ning Hao looked embarrassed.

I don’t know how to refute.

He couldn't control himself, and his mind was filled with nothing.

It has its own thoughts, who can you blame?

But it really made Ning Hao feel a little resentful.

And the domestic movie stars are not afraid at all.

Yang Tianbao, Jingtian, Wanqian, and Zhang Ziyi, each of their dresses was shorter than the last.

Zhang Ziyi is the most shameless. It's clearly an airport, but he still put two small pieces of cloth on it.
I don't know what it's blocking.

...

Guan Ling attended the opening ceremony.

After the opening ceremony, the Bollywood opening film attracted many comments.

However, people's evaluation of "Strangers in the Lahore Tea House" is generally mediocre.

After all, movies about Muslims cannot make everyone feel the same.

Saying it is racial discrimination does not seem to have such a profound connotation.
The deliberate technique and voice-over style of expression make it seem preachy and distracting, making the story unmoving. The opening is particularly shocking, but it becomes weaker and weaker later on. Fortunately, the ending is open.

Overall it reminds me of "Slumdog Millionaire", but it's slightly worse.

The most popular films have started to be screened.
Guan Ling's was at the back.

But Guan Ling didn't care.

So I had a good time with my wives for a few days.

After Jingtian had sex with Guan Ling once, he became addicted to it and wanted to take Guan Ling for himself.

Zhang Ziyi would definitely not agree.

However, Director Guan didn't support her, which made her look very unhappy these days.

She told Director Guan to come whenever he wanted, but Director Guan had no intention of looking for her at all.

joke?

With Da Tiantian and Wan Qian, who needs your old Bentley?

Whether it is considered a Bentley is another matter.

Director Guan was very tough when he put on his pants.

He wasn't like this before when Zhang Ziyi recommended himself.

But it has nothing to do with Zhang Ziyi.

She is not useful, nor can she bring herself to do it. She wants to be roasted chicken, but she is not cooked enough.

Just wait on the side.

In domestic and foreign media, confidence in Guan Ling's ability to win an award is declining, especially after many of her films have already been screened.

The early previews are a good start for the upcoming Venice Film Festival awards ceremony.
Even many media have put up smoke bombs.
The Venice Film Festival is like seeing flowers in the fog, like a dream or reality.
For two days, Guan Ling was too lazy to go out to watch a movie.

However, Ning Hao, Xing Aina, Hu Ge and others were extremely excited and ran out to watch a lot of movies.

After coming back, I was amazed.

Many foreign films are quite attentive.

“It’s very stressful this time.”

Ning Hao called Guan Ling and curled his lips.

“I think it’s hard for me.”

"Or I'll just rely on you."

"Look at how cowardly you are," Guan Ling said, "are you ugly?"

Ning Hao stiffened his neck and said, "Everyone is having the same fun, but I don't have any connections, right?"

Guan Ling patted Ning Hao's shoulder and said, "I will be your connection."

Ning Hao didn't answer, and his nose felt sore.

Speaking of which, Guan Ling is indeed one of his few connections in the entertainment industry.

On September 9, "Wild Tales" premiered first.

After the grand press conference.

Many people who had never been photographed by Ning Hao came to watch the film.

Ning Hao knew very well that this was all because of Guan Ling's face.

At the same time, domestic media flocked to the scene, and it was difficult for foreign media to ignore the gathering of so many bigwigs.

Especially Guan, David Fincher, Kim Ki-duk and Takeshi Kitano, the appearance of many directors in the main competition also shocked the media.

"Wild Tales, a pioneering work from a young Chinese director, is a black, violent comedy that tells the story of human beings out of control!"

“Call of the Wild: Six Faces of the Disintegration of Civilization, directed by Ning Hao and written by Guan, is determined to strangle the absurd.”

"Ning Hao goes first! Zhang Ziyi and Director Guan will follow soon."

During the live interview, some media directed their questions to Guan Ling below.

“Guan, there are three movies related to you this time, but according to our inquiries, all three movies are very low-budget movies, and even the one you directed was only shot in ten days.

Do you think your actions are disrespectful to the Venice Film Festival?"

Guan Ling gave him a sidelong look.

Asian faces.

Japanese?
Guan Ling coughed twice.

"I'm not the one who reviewed the film, right? Are you a journalist? You don't understand this? Where's the security? Security!" (End of this chapter)
