China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【4600 words!!!】

There is no need to say much about this night.

Guan Ling has always adhered to a basic principle of flattery: if people give me face, I will give them gold.

Whether it is the previous profit sharing, companies such as Bona, Guangguang, and Shanghai Film Group have all made a lot of money.

Shanying is supporting his own family, so there is no need to mention it.

China Film Group made the most money.

Guan Ling is even more generous to women.

Fan Bingbing gave Guan Ling face, and Guan Ling not only gave him a lot of gold, but also asked her to bite the gold to see if it was real.

It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire, but in fact, gold is not afraid of being bitten either.

Finally, after Fan Bingbing confirmed that the gold was real, he was so surprised that he couldn't sleep the whole night.

A good witch, almost turned into a little white cat.

It was quite hot, so I had some ice cream.

After eating, Fan Bingbing got naughty again and wanted to sneak attack Guan Ling and scratch Guan Ling's face, turning Guan Ling into a little white cat.

Guan Ling directly used a grappling technique and told Fan Bingbing to eat his own food and not share it.

"I can't be worse than a tiger."

Guan Ling emphasized.

"Then wouldn't I be a tigress?" Fan Bingbing was so angry that his whole body ached. He had nothing left to do before he spoke.

"You are worse than a tiger."

Guan Ling said. "Tigers are not as vicious as you."

"Go away."

Fan Bingbing got angry and started fighting.

The two fell into a deep sleep.

……

People jokingly say that the entire September film market is full of science fiction flavor.

But no one expected that the major movies in the September schedule would compete to such an extent.

After enduring a summer season without Hollywood blockbusters, "Scarlet Witch", "The Dark Knight Rises" and "The Amazing Spider-Man" hit mainland theaters starting from the end of August, and they are undisputed science fiction blockbusters.

But several Hollywood blockbusters that were subsequently released in major theaters were actually very powerful. In addition to the three movies, they were able to snatch up part of the market.

Except for "Scarlet Witch" Fan Bingbing who has been firmly in the lead in his home game, in terms of the daily performance of "Spider-Man", he first won and then lost. He beat "Batman" on the first day, but was then overtaken by "Batman". He was reversed in just one week, and "The Dark Knight" is also getting stronger.

However, the subsequent plot development was beyond the expectations of all filmmakers.

"Prometheus" is known as the prequel to "Alien". After the classic series "Alien" in the history of science fiction films, the famous science fiction director Scott is going to create a new science fiction epic and use 3D to bring a brand new horror experience.

This absolutely "heavy taste" was scheduled half for the midnight market, but the response was unexpectedly good, with a box office of 2647 million on the first day of its release, which left many people dumbfounded.

After the release of "The Expendables 2", Schwarzenegger and Stallone returned.

This group of middle-aged and elderly strong men in Hollywood are full of nostalgia.

All the familiar signature lines and actions take the audience back to memories.

In addition, Jet Li and Yu Nan also joined the movie.

It has made the mainland market in September, which has always been lukewarm, even more lively than the summer vacation.

But no one expected that four Hollywood blockbusters would be released at the same time.
The Scarlet Witch will fight at home.
It has a bit of the flavor of the final battle between the four major sects at Guangmingding.

But in the end, four blockbusters were crushed by one movie, Scarlet Witch.
The box office of the four movies combined barely surpassed that of "Scarlet Witch".

This battle scared the hell out of the film so much that the release of "White Deer Plain" was postponed for a week.

The fierce competition at the box office also made Fan Bingbing's value even higher, and even sparked a craze for Fan Bingbing conversion.

"Fan Bingbing fights alone in the four major Hollywood movies, Scarlet Witch, and is very popular with people because of her beauty!"

"Everyone says that we can't beat Hollywood blockbusters, but if the Chinese can make Hollywood blockbusters themselves, the influence of foreign stars and the influence of domestic stars are simply not at the same level.

This is the first time that Guan Ling has used a Chinese protagonist in a Hollywood blockbuster since Cheng Long's "2012".

Many memories began to emerge. Back then, Jackie Chan was having difficulties in Hollywood, and Guan Ling's several films brought him back into the mainstream Hollywood vision.

And now, Fan Bingbing is rising again.

This has made many celebrities in the circle look cold.

And it’s not just Fan Bingbing.
In September, "Gone Girl" was finally released in North America. Amy, played by Zhang Ziyi, instantly became a hurricane around the world.

This award-winning film from the Venice Film Festival also defeated "The Heroic Trio" in North America, with a box office of 4200 million US dollars in the first week and a drop to 3600 million US dollars in the second week. It dominated the North American box office chart in a short period of time with its excellent reputation.

This movie was not released in mainland China, but it was also released in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and other places, and it defeated the two heroes in almost all of them during the same period, and even topped the box office charts for two consecutive weeks.

In Hong Kong, when the weekly box office results were announced, this movie, boosted by word of mouth, grossed over 10 million in a single week, which shocked many people.

The Hong Kong film market is currently in a state of collapse, and very few films can gross over 10 million yuan.

As a drama movie without any special effects, explosions, action or other big scenes.

In just two weeks, the film grossed $2.8 million worldwide.

The global film industry was stunned in an instant.

……

Lionsgate Films.

Frank was stunned.

An ordinary September.

Guan Ling continues to impress filmmakers around the world.

The first one is that San Huangdan, the best screenwriter in Venice, made history!
The second is that he won the Golden Lion Award in Venice, achieving his grand slam of the best films at the three major European film festivals!

The third piece of news is that in mainland China, the movie "Scarlet Witch" has surpassed four Hollywood blockbusters, and its global box office is comparable to the recognized Nolan blockbuster "Batman 2".

Fourth, on the global charts, when “The Heroic Trio” and “Scarlet Witch” were a little weak, “Gone Girl” suddenly emerged and grabbed the title of weekly champion in North America. In a short period of time, it caught the eyes of countless people.

A month for others is a month.

One month for you is a lifetime for others...

Even though Frank was a banker, his head was buzzing.

Being dumbfounded was the main issue. Guan Ling's results were too shocking.

It was like a giant knife, piercing the global film industry.

It shattered everyone's eyes.

Europe, America, Japan, Korea,
Most filmmakers from all over the world have fallen into a strange state of calm.

Even those stubborn Koreans don't have so many boring comments on foreign websites.

At first they said it was fake, that it was an internal decision, and that it was made specifically to give honor to Chinese films.

Later, after the movie topped the box office in South Korea, they said it was just a joke.

By the time "Gone Girl" was released in North America, breaking through the decline of several movies, the stubborn Koreans finally became completely honest.

Started to promote that Guan Ling is Korean. The surname Guan is irrefutable evidence!

"It's irrefutable that Guan Ling is from Korea. The reason why he is so powerful and smart must be because he eats our kimchi. People who eat our kimchi are very smart."

……

"Guan Ling's box office beats itself in North America and beats a group of people in China. It's so funny~"

"He has this ability. If he follows other directors' way, he won't be able to release a movie for several years, and some of his fans will die waiting for him."

“In fact, sometimes, culture and entertainment are inseparable.

For example, the more novels are updated, the more readers like to read them.

Look at the movies. Guan Ling's movies have always been competitive globally due to their good quality, continuous popularity, extremely high update frequency, and awards that others cannot win.

Ang Lee is not like that. He seemed to have disappeared after Lust, Caution. He just came out in the past two days.

More directors are like Ang Lee, and this is the normal rule for making movies.

People like Guan Ling are no longer just directors, but have such a sharp eye that they can choose the right director to shoot the script in his mind. This is very scary.

But others have to admire it.

I even suspect that before filming each movie, Guan Ling has a full plot in her mind.”

"I usually call this kind of person a weird director! The more he directs, the weirder it gets, and the weirder it gets, the better he directs.

After the opponent plays "The Amazing Spider-Man", he plays "Scarlet Witch" and then "Gone Girl".
Wait two weeks, and then watch the Venice Golden Lion Award-winning film "Perfect Stranger"
If that doesn’t work, there’s always “Wild Tales”.

After I release the ultimate hit, I still have a Lunar New Year movie, "Travel to Hong Kong," or Liu Yifei's Lunar New Year movie, "Extreme Job," to scare them to death!"

“Then I will let all the directors around the world watch me, Guan Da Dao, climb to the top. Then I will make a bad movie to deceive them. Once the foreigners want to make a big movie, Guan Da Dao will just make a low-budget movie with half the cost of “Hot Girls”.

It's considered a single 3.

Director Guan can then ridicule as much as he wants.

Auntie, you don’t want 3 at all, auntie? "

"Director Guan is not afraid to come up with a movie title now, I'm afraid it will scare many directors. It's a pity that he can't do it. If Director Guan comes up with it, fans will definitely force him to make it."

"Actually, I want to see what 'Gone Girl' is about, but unfortunately I can't watch it."

There are all kinds of comments on the Internet.

However, it is obvious from this that the lofty ambitions of current Chinese movie fans have been cultivated by Director Guan.

Guan Ling had absolute confidence in everyone. Not to mention facing a Hollywood movie, even facing a group of Hollywood movies would make the audience extremely excited.

……

Except for Guan Ling, the other movies have very low fighting power. After the release of "White Deer Plain", it attracted a lot of criticism.

After nine years of preparation, three years of shooting, and a week of retreat at the last minute, the film "White Deer Plain" directed by Wang Quan'an and starring Duan Yihong, Zhang Yuqi, Zhang Fengyi and others has finally been released after going through untold hardships.

This movie, which was scared by the technical problems in the September film market, was finally released.

In order to encourage domestic films, many cinemas even asked Guan Ling for his opinion and asked if they could allocate some of their screening time.

Guan Ling said it was up to him.

It’s not that he looks down on White Deer Plain, it’s just that many of Wang Quanan’s movies, and even many of the current domestic movies, are garbage.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Although the original novel has a profound influence, the bumpy experience of shooting the film also made the film popular before it was released. The market hunger has already formed, whetting the audience's appetite.

But it wasn't until the day of the premiere on September 9 that copies arrived in major cities across the country in the early hours of the previous night.

The cinema chains were also considerate enough to give face, allocating 13% of the screening share to show respect. The remaining blockbusters were basically in the teens and twenties. Even "Scarlet Witch" only had 29% of the screening share.

This happened only after the movie's box office growth rate slowly began to decline.

But the single-day box office still ranks number one in the mainland.

From this we can see that theaters are really encouraging domestic films.

This is also a respect for film investment.

According to a previous report by Time.com, the film cost 1.2 million RMB! To make a profit, it needs to earn at least million RMB at the box office.

Compared to "Perfect Strangers", it's simply sky-high.

But no one expected that the audience would not buy into this ambitious epic work at all, and many people shouted online that the movie was too boring.

Mixed praise and criticism are all considered to be a face-saving statement.

Praise the Shaanxi culture and photography in the film.

There were many criticisms. Many viewers thought that there were problems with the editing and that the film was top-heavy. Some people said that the director had poor control, as if Wang Quanan had a good hand of cards but didn't know how to play with them.

Some people also said that the essence of this movie was deleted, and Tian Xiao'e's car lights must be shown for the movie to be good.

Just like He Qing who played Li Shishi and Li Shizhen who played Ah Zhen...

All netizens sneered at the whole thing.

You just want to see Zhang Yuqi’s bear!

But you are right, Director Wang, you are not generous! You are not even generous enough to let netizens appreciate your girlfriend! What box office do you want!
If you really reveal a little bit, then the promotional copy would be outrageous!

The rating of this movie on Douban has also dropped rapidly, and it is not even as good as "Prometheus".

Such a big IP, but it was ruined!
"The movie cuts off the main points and talks about other things instead of the main points. It doesn't talk about the history of the Bai family. Some plots are simply unbelievable. Several important characters were cut out... I don't recommend watching the movie if you haven't read the original novel, and I don't recommend watching the movie if you have read the original novel either."

"I thought I was going to a feast, but after the meal started, I found that there was only one dish served from beginning to end, and it was nothing but noodles. Regardless of how much the movie was cut, just from the existing content, it has exposed serious problems: the dialogue is stiff, the characters are dull, the plot is confusing, the main theme is unclear... It's like a hastily built rotten building."

"After halftime, 70% of the people started playing with their phones. They went crazy and spent two and a half hours in the theater. For those who haven't read the original novel, it's better not to watch it. The plot is definitely beyond your imagination.

The same Shaanxi, loess, crops, men and women, noodles, bears, when compared, none of them can compare to Zhang Yimou and Gong Li back then.

Compared with the new generation of directors nowadays, Zhang Yimou is still a god.”

"It's true that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. It is impossible to express the original novel to its fullest, but the whole film seems too bland, without any highlights. You can see Director Wang's intentions, but it seems that he wants to express too much, and the plot connection is not smooth. Perhaps it is because of too many cuts, and the abrupt ending is a bit unsatisfactory."

Too many negative reviews.

Some people even say that this movie adapted the original novel, which has a long history and complex story, into a story of an illicit love affair between one woman and multiple men.

It became a widow's love story...

Especially the ending, the whereabouts of any character were not explained, and the whole story ended there?
But all in all, the movie grossed $2200 million in its first weekend.

Considering that "Perfect Stranger" will be released in two weeks, the pressure of "White Deer Plain" to make a profit is already set in stone.

Then, the Hollywood blockbuster "Looper", which had previously withdrawn from the National Day schedule, is said to be back, which is even more bad news for "White Deer Plain".

Guan Ling also heard the news and felt calm.

"You're not panicking at all?"

Han Sanpin called, "Looper will be released on September 9th, are you sure you want to call?"

Guan Ling was silent for a while.

"Scarlet Witch" defeated the "Twin Heroes" and I feel average.

If the low-budget movie "Perfect Strangers" can win the National Day box office championship, that would be a real killer.

"Mr. Han, I'm not Wang Quanan. For White Deer Plain, Looper is bad news. But for Perfect Stranger, he is bad news for others..."

Han Sanpin was forced into silence.

I'm such a bitch, I'm calling you for nothing! (End of this chapter)
