China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【4500 words】

……

"A TV show?"

Hou Hongliang asked.

"Yes." Guan Ling said, "And it's a type of movie that has never been broadcast before."

Hou Hongliang's eyes lit up.

There are many TV series produced by Guan Ling’s company, whether it is "Dream of Red Mansions", "Gu Jian Qi Tan", "Awakening Age", "The Disguiser", or "The Beginning"!
These are all the most deeply researched and most studied TV series in the current TV circle.

Countless TV drama producers have put in a lot of effort to dissect the highlights and analyze the stories.

This "Nirvana in Fire" is itself Hou Hongliang's top resource after he founded Noon Sunshine.

Because this is the script provided by Guan Ling!
Can their shooting, production and editing abilities match Guan Ling's script?
Becoming a top TV drama producer in the industry actually only depends on this one move!

The whole of Noon and Shanying put a lot of effort into this TV series.

We strive to make this TV series a benchmark in the industry.

Not only that, due to his in-depth research on "The Hidden Cam", Hou Hongliang is also working on creating a TV series about undercover spy warfare, but the script has not yet come out.

But compared to these, Director Guan’s TV drama scripts are obviously more attractive!

Not to mention that Guan Ling also emphasized four words.

Series Project!

Hou Hongliang knew very well what these four words meant, and so did the entire circle. Therefore, in an instant, Hou Hongliang suddenly found himself breathing heavily.

And it’s a type that has never been broadcast before!

"Mountain-opening monster!"

These three words suddenly appeared in Hou Hongliang's mind again.

"Is the pioneer in the film industry finally going to invade the TV drama industry?"

Hou Hongliang swallowed.

"Of course we are interested. And we are also very confident that we can shoot these TV series well for Director Guan."

"Okay." Guan Ling patted Hou Hongliang on the shoulder, "Then I'll leave this matter to you. I have a few scripts here, and I'll send them to you later, but after all, this series of TV series will not start filming for the time being. For the full set of scripts, I still suggest that the screenwriting department of Noon and Lingyun conduct an in-depth analysis and update a good version for me."

"Okay, I'll give the order."

"But, Director Guan, why didn't you give this project to Guo Jingyu?"

Hou Hongliang thought about it, but couldn't help but asked.

Guo Jingyu is currently the TV drama manager of Lingyun Media. Logically, when Guan Ling gives projects, he will definitely give priority to his own talents.

"He has other series of projects." Guan Ling said, "Besides, I have always believed that they are more conventional in storytelling, and they need me to provide a more comprehensive script. And you have to adapt the script I provide and the original work as a whole.

We need to ensure that every part from the first to the eighth is consistent with the previous one.”

Hou Hongliang realized that it was a project of eight TV dramas and became instantly excited.

"I understand, Director Guan. We will try our best."

Guan Ling said: "Wait a few days, and prepare for the filming of Nirvana in Fire first."

Hou Hongliang nodded in agreement.

……

Naturally, the conversation between Guan Ling and Hou Hongliang could not avoid the attention of people in the circle.

Many actors who came to the scene saw the communication between the two, from Hou Hongliang's initial shock to his excitement later.

People could obviously guess that the two might be talking about a new project.

For a time, countless actors were in turmoil.

Many people couldn't get close to Guan Ling, so they started to get close to Hou Hongliang, wanting to exchange a few words.

Hugo is one of them.

Soon, Hu Ge learned that the filming of "Nirvana in Fire" was about to start.

So he stood beside Hou Hongliang and followed him closely.

He looked at Guan Ling in the distance. Actually, he also wanted to stand beside Guan Ling and follow him closely, but the people around Guan Ling were too famous.

There was the woman whom she could never kiss in the TV series, Zhao Linger.

Wearing a high-end dress, she looks like a fairy who is untainted by the mundane world.

There is also the Cannes Film Festival actress Zhou Xun, who is dressed naturally but has an inexplicable temperament.

Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming are people who have proven themselves in the film industry very early on.

Hugo looked at them with envy.

“If Tangren had belonged to Director Guan in the beginning, maybe I wouldn’t be like this now.”

Suddenly remembering that Liu Sisi is now a movie star, Hu Ge became a little anxious.

"I must seize the opportunity. Since Director Guan has chosen me to play the leading male role, it means he has an impression of me, and a very deep impression. I must repay Director Guan.

There is no chance for someone like Sisi to pledge her love to him.

But I can be a better version of myself.”

Hugo narrowed his eyes and put pressure on himself.

……

The premiere was packed with people.

By about one o'clock in the afternoon, almost everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.

Director Guan didn't even let in those who shouldn't have come.

On the red carpet outside, you can see cameras everywhere and fans as crazy as ants.

Everyone knows that the various characters inside are the ones who can shock the circle.

On the big screen, start playing vcr first.

Nolan's: "I heard that Guan's "Perfect Stranger" will have its world premiere on September 2012, 9, so I must come to offer my sincere congratulations. As the world's first director to win the best film at the three major film festivals, Guan is one of the most talented directors I have ever seen. But unfortunately, your "Scarlet Witch" movie box office is not better than my "Batman 25", so in order to congratulate, I decided to cancel our bet today as a gift for the release of your new movie."

As soon as these words were spoken, the people below suddenly became noisy.

Many movie fans complained in their hearts.

"Nolan is really interesting. The global box office of Guan's movie is now on par with Batman 2, with a difference of only or million US dollars. However, since the channels of Scarlet Witch are not as wide as Warner's, it may be more popular in the later stage. He directly canceled the bet and gave it as a gift. It's too abstract!"

"Doesn't this mean running away first?"

"In terms of the number of visitors, Scarlet Witch is definitely number one. Director Guan made a mistake at the time, forgetting that the exchange rate is such a killer."

"Nolan is so funny. He wanted to run away but he deliberately ran like this, so that even if he loses in the future, he can completely deny the bet."

“It is said that Florida does not support idlers. In fact, compared with Scarlet Witch, Batman is just a rubbish. It must be said that Fan Bingbing really gave Hollywood superheroes a slap in the face!

Awesome superhero movie! "

Guan Ling looked at Nolan's VCR and couldn't help laughing.

This guy's little thoughts are simply self-evident.

It has the same effect as the Ming Dynasty's "The Water is Too Cold".

And then, David Fincher’s congratulatory words.

Roland's congratulations.

Congratulations from Cameron.

Congratulations from Quentin.

Bong Joon-ho's congratulatory message.

Congratulations from Hayao Miyazaki.

Congratulations from James Wan. And Mark Muller, too many...

Various big directors who have made their mark in the world film industry have sent their congratulations to Guan Ling.

Later, Ang Lee's VCR also came.

"Congratulations to Director Guan. I am currently at the New York Film Festival. Because Life of Pi is the opening film of the 50th anniversary of the festival, I cannot fly to China to celebrate with Director Guan in person. It is amazing that Director Guan has won the Grand Slam of the European Film Industry. Director Guan has won the award for 20 days, but filmmakers all over the world are still asleep and have not woken up!

Because this is something that no one can imagine, and even if it is written in a novel, it is hard to believe. "

Li Ang's words made everyone feel the same.

“They may not agree, but they cannot help but accept it.”

Ang Lee continued, "I regret that I have not been able to see the finished film of Perfect Strangers until now. I believe that when I take Life of Pi to China for promotion and release, Director Guan will be able to show me the master copy.

And to filmmakers around the world, I must also say something for my compatriots.

“Although I haven’t seen the original version of Perfect Strangers, I have seen Shoplifters, which won the first Palme d’Or. That movie deserves the second half of the Palme d’Or. The Wind Rises in Berlin was an unsurprising winner. This animated film perfectly combines animation innovation with strong artistic vision. Its depiction of the suffering of war, the forbearance of the Chinese people, and their efforts to seek common ground while reserving differences for peaceful development, all demonstrate its elegance.

So filmmakers around the world, you have to accept it.

Hollywood has dominated global cinema for fifty years.

But the history of Chinese civilization has already stood in the world's history for five thousand years, and there will always be someone who will lead them to catch up!
Guan Ling, maybe this is the person.

He will be a symbol.

Chinese filmmakers should be confident.

Hollywood, you need to be more confident."

After Ang Lee finished speaking through the VCR.

The people below were simply dumbfounded.

Those movie fans were screaming wildly.

At this time, many people in the audience suddenly realized.

This premiere is not just a premiere, but also a show for Guan Ling to show his muscle strength to the world.

Because "Perfect Stranger" is the last movie in which Guan Ling won the three major film Grand Slams!

This movie is actually the final battle of Guan Ling's Grand Slam, a decisive battle, and also a symbol and sign.

So, no matter how big the fuss is, it all makes sense!

Han Sanpin already had some sweat on his forehead at this moment: "Director Ang Lee is preparing to ask theaters across the country to schedule more screenings for his Life of Pi!"

After saying this, Han Sanpin had already realized that the global film industry was about to explode!

Nolan is okay, but his scale is a bit small.

Others also congratulated and asked polite questions.

Only Ang Lee has definitely put some pressure and shock on the global film industry.

Not to mention the previous support and opinions on Guan Ling's several films winning the Best Picture award, there are so many ways to interpret the meaning of the last few sentences alone.

Hollywood has dominated global cinema for fifty years.

But the history of Chinese civilization has already stood in the world's history for five thousand years, and there will always be someone who will lead them to catch up!
Guan Ling, maybe this is the person.

He will be a symbol.

The above sentences are a recognition of Chinese civilization, a tribute to the value of Guan Ling’s achievements, and a declaration of war on Hollywood?
The last two sentences,

Chinese filmmakers should be confident.

Hollywood, you need to be more confident.

I don't know whether it is consolation or a slap in the face, but those filmmakers will probably feel uncomfortable if they hear it.

But Han Sanpin felt very happy listening to it.

"Isn't this Ang Lee using his own mouth to help Guan Ling declare war on filmmakers around the world?"

Ren Zhonglun also raised a question.

"Director Guan probably doesn't care. At the box office level, as long as there is competition, it's a life-and-death battle. It's a market war. That's how it is."

As for the awards, "After Director Guan won the Grand Slam, he has become the public enemy of filmmakers. Directors of art films, avant-garde films, and pioneering films have long been cursing. Who would like to be trampled on by a Chinese director in terms of awards?
Or a Grand Slam?"

Yu Dong also spoke calmly.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Guan Ling on the stage.

These people have finished speaking, and they want to hear what Guan Ling has to say.

Is it a declaration of war?

Or just mention it briefly?
Everyone probably has some idea in their minds.

Because these VCRs have definitely been reviewed by Lingyun Media.

Since Ang Lee’s VCR is the finale, it means that Director Guan’s words are likely related to this.

Soon, Guan Ling stood in front of the stage.

"Director Ang Lee puts too much of a hat on me. It's a bit scary."

Everyone below laughed.

Guan Ling relaxed his palm, asking everyone to stop laughing, and then whispered: "But what he said does make some sense."

“Almost all of the top 100 global box office hits are Hollywood blockbusters. Even some of my movies are from Hollywood. I must admit that this is the credit of Hollywood’s industrial production, not all my credit.

My reputation is more like a chicken laying eggs.”

Everyone was surprised that Guan Ling was so straightforward.

"But the three best film winners in Europe are all Chinese films. Local technology, local actors, local productions, and local industries."

Guan Ling's words caused the crowd to fall silent.

"Last year, there was "Never Say Die," directed by Ning Hao, which broke the 1 billion box office. Local technology, local actors, local production, and local industry."

"This year, we have "Along with the Gods", and director Kai Ge has broken the peak of domestic fantasy! Local technology, local actors, local production, and local industry."

"Have you noticed that, on a commercial level, the ceiling of our local films has a certain leap every year?"

"As for awards, I won't brag about myself. Many years ago, directors Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Jia Zhangke all won awards. The three major European awards have long been won by domestic directors. But as the film industry has stopped, it seems that no one can win any awards.

Later, director Jiang Wen won the Golden Lion Award.

Director Wang Quanan won several awards in Berlin.

Ning Hao won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director this year.

It seems that nothing has changed, but is it possible to no longer win the grand prize?

So, my idea is that the way of thinking can be changed.

It's not a bad thing to make money. "

Han Sanpin and others below seemed to be thinking about something.

Guan Ling's voice continued, "I know that there is a lot of pressure on domestic films this year. There are Hollywood blockbusters, and there are also those given by me. Sometimes the pressure I give is even greater than that given by Hollywood blockbusters."

Everyone below laughed along.

Yu Dong and Wang Changtian had even more bitter smiles on their faces.

"But my thought is that the excavation efforts are not strong enough. I told Mr. Wang Changtian and Mr. Yu Dong about the new ideas and direction. What we need to do is to broaden the boundaries of the film market and enrich the dimensions of the film market, rather than just fighting hard in one small area."

"I don't know if you have seen "Underground Traffic Station"? There is a captain named Jia in it. He is cunning and greedy. When he was checking the good citizen's card to extort money from the people, he took away a diner's hookah. When the diner asked him why he took his hookah, Captain Jia asked back: Why did you carve your name on my hookah?

Don't treat me as an imaginary enemy. I have a question for all the filmmakers here.

Ask yourself, in the middle of the night, when you are tossing and turning, have you ever asked the Hollywood film producers in your heart, why do you put our money in your pocket? ! "

"Just thirty-four blockbuster movies? You don't have the guts to fight one, and you blame me for fighting? That's unreasonable."

Guan Ling stopped talking, and the entire cinema was silent!
Speechless! (End of this chapter)
