China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 652: Yang Mi’s news, you must uphold your code of conduct as a woman!
【4500 words】…

Sitting in the conference room, Han Sanpin's head was buzzing.

How come we asked the professor to help Guan Ling to provide evidence, but it turned out that Guan Ling was just showing off?
You really are good at it!

And those old scholars at the scene really gave Guan Ling face.

"Old Han,"

Professor Chen Mingyuan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences quietly pulled Han Sanpin aside, unable to conceal his excitement in his voice.
"Director Guan is no ordinary person. He proposed several plans that even our professional team at the space agency has never thought of. If possible... I would like to invite him to participate in some of our project discussions."

Han Sanpin raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Are you serious? He is a director."

“Scientists and artists are both explorers, just in different ways.”

Chen Mingyuan looked at Guan Ling who was surrounded by the crowd, his eyes gleaming with the light of discovering a treasure, "Besides, if it's just concepts and imagination, we really can't compare with him. I think some of his ideas are very useful to us."

Han Sanpin felt even more numb.

He felt that Guan Ling was constantly giving him surprises.

At the end of the meeting, Guan Ling stood at the door and said goodbye to the professors and expressed his gratitude to everyone.

The professors came over one by one to shake hands with him and say goodbye, their attitudes completely different from a few hours ago.

“Director Guan,” Professor Zhang held his hand tightly, “If you need an astrophysics consultant, I’m always available.”

"My botanical team can support your filming throughout the process." Professor Wang from the College of Agriculture handed over his business card.

"The Aerospace Science and Technology Bureau will provide all non-confidential technical support." Academician Li thought for a moment, first looked at Han Sanpin, then at Guan Ling, and solemnly promised.

"Thank you, thank you professors and experts." Guan Ling's attitude was also very respectful.

When the last expert left, only Guan Ling and Han Sanpin were left in the conference room.

Han Sanpin poured himself a cup of tea, sat on a chair, and let out a long sigh.

Then there was a long silence.

"You kid," Han Sanpin shook his head and laughed. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally uttered a few words coldly, "How many skills do you have that I don't know about?"

Guan Ling collected the scattered documents on the table and said casually,

"Mr. Han, I just did my homework. If China wants to make science fiction movies, it can't be cheap special effects and plots full of loopholes."

"Is this your homework? If you don't know, you might think you're taking a class with those old guys." Holding the script that Guan Ling brought out, Han Sanpin was shocked. "It's mainly because I can't understand some of the things in it, let alone how to film it. But I also can't understand how you can come up with such an imagination."

"Isn't there an original novel? We can just modify it to suit our time. It's just that the original novel is a foreign work, so people are not familiar with it. If I film "The Three-Body Problem", of course people who don't read the book won't understand it."

This point really touched Han Sanpin's heart.

Han Sanpin had of course read "The Three-Body Problem", but this "The Martian" was the first time he read the script and he was a little confused.

"I learned everything from the original novel, and then looked up some information in our country, and added some creativity, mainly to better reflect the sense of science fiction and to make the plot smoothly perfect. Of course, these are all theories."

"But even if it's just theory, it's impossible without enough effort. What are you talking about, direct evidence of the ancient ocean, breakthroughs in magnetic field detection technology, multi-task integration and "orbiting, landing, and patrolling" in one step, takeoff from the surface of Mars, rendezvous around Mars, and other key technologies?
There are also base construction, oxygen production, and plant cultivation.

To be honest, if you were to give a report, I would doubt whether you are a doctor of astronomy. "

At this moment, Chen Mingyuan from the Chinese Academy of Sciences suddenly came back with a document in his hand.
"Boss Han, Director Guan, luckily you guys haven't left yet, otherwise I would have to go to Lingyun Media or China Film Group."

"what happened?"

Seeing him coming, Guan Ling and Han Sanpin were both a little curious.

Chen Mingyuan did not hesitate and directly picked up the document and handed it to Guan Ling, "Director Guan, I have a suggestion. I wonder if you are interested."

Guan Ling took the document, glanced at the title, and then looked up suddenly.

There were only a few big words written on the document: "Preliminary Research on China's Manned Mars Exploration Program."

Han Sanpin also saw those words and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"This is……"

Guan Ling looked at Chen Mingyuan in surprise.

"The external version of our top-secret information was usually only shared with cooperating countries, but so far no country has received it. The Americans want to cooperate, but they are unwilling to share their carbon dioxide oxygen production technology. They have already achieved experimental use. But our country still has some deficiencies in this technology."

Chen Mingyuan lowered his voice, "But after today, I think you are qualified to know. The country is preparing for a manned mission to Mars around 2035, and many of your ideas... coincide with ours."

The teacup in Han Sanpin's hand almost fell to the ground.

"Should I go out and listen?" he asked cautiously.

"That's not necessary, Mr. Han. After the filming of this movie, this top-secret thing will naturally be of no use. On the contrary, it will make the Americans wary because they may not even know whether we have this technology."

Guan Ling was shocked: "So because of this script, many top-secret contents can be made public?"

"Openness is only conceptual. We can't stop everyone from thinking." Chen Mingyuan said.
"But even if it's just a concept, the content of Director Guan's script today really makes us a little nervous. If Director Guan is willing, in the future we may hope that you can participate in some discussions of non-core aspects of the Chinese Academy of Sciences as a special consultant, and at the same time make your film a 'soft landing' of this great plan, so that the public can understand and accept the concept of the Mars mission in advance."

Now, let alone Han Sanpin,
Even Guan Ling felt dizzy.

He originally just wanted to make a good movie, but he didn't expect to touch the edge of the country's highest space strategy.

"It's my honor." Guan Ling said a little excitedly.
His voice was slightly hoarse with excitement.

Then they continued chatting until the evening.

Regarding the concepts proposed by Guan Ling in the script, Guan Ling also learned about the current level of national research.

For example, oxygen production has been developed in the United States. The atmosphere on Mars is thin (95% CO), the electrolysis efficiency is low, and the equipment needs to withstand extreme temperatures. China does not have similar technology yet.

In terms of plant cultivation and plant production,

We have long achieved food cultivation in closed ecosystems in ground simulation experiments. Because the Martian environment generally has low gravity, strong radiation, and poor soil, long-term survival requires technological breakthroughs.

And oxygen supply is still a big problem.

However, Guan Ling's proposal to conduct experiments using lunar soil first did provide them with some reference.

In the acquisition and utilization of water resources, the concept of mining water ice, and the fact that China's future Mars rover may rely on solar energy, but because Mars is covered with sand and dust, the power generation efficiency is very low, which may cause the rover to hibernate. Guan Ling's concept of using nuclear energy to ensure long-term energy in the future is also being considered by the institute.

When I walked out of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the lights in Beijing were already on.

Guan Ling stood on the steps and looked up at the night sky.

Mars should be twinkling in a certain direction right now, difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but it is there - waiting for humans and his movies.

Guo Fan was also standing next to Guan Ling at this moment.

Although he is a man, Guo Fan's hair is visibly drawn at this moment.

Deep in his eyes, there was a deep shock.

"Director Guan was willing to spend half a year writing such a movie. It really took a lot of effort."

Guan Ling said, "If China wants to make its own blockbuster, it naturally can't just shoot randomly. I hope that if you want to shoot a Chinese science fiction movie in the future, you must do this step."

Guo Fan nodded heavily.

"Director Guan, I understand."

Guan Ling patted his shoulder.

"The future of Chinese science fiction movies still depends on you."

"Although I am very touched by what Director Guan said, there is one thing I really don't know whether I should say or not." Guo Fan was a little embarrassed, "Director Guan, I am actually four years older than you, and you are younger than me."

Guan Ling was stunned and smiled, "Isn't it because you like to make science fiction movies? I've heard you say that before, and it takes too much time and effort to make this kind of movie. I find it tiring."

"Maybe in a few years, I will retire." Guan Ling said with a smile.

Guo Fan didn't say anything this time, but remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he whispered, "If this is true, it will be a pity for Chinese films."

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. It was a message from Chen Guofu: "How is the script review going? Why did it take so long? Is it a big problem?"

Guan Ling replied with a smile:

"They gave me more support than I expected. Notify the crew that they can start pre-production and set design, and prepare to start filming after the New Year. Lao Chen, we are going to make history."

He walked down the steps with a brisk step.

Behind me, the lights of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are shining brightly, like a beacon.
But Guo Fan knew that ahead, the unknown sea of ​​stars was waiting for him to conquer.

Director Guan wants to retire because he feels too tired.

Guo Fan clenched his fists tightly. At this moment, the thought of "a man should die for his friend" and the thought of being willing to devote his whole life to this cause roared in his mind.

Like an explosion.

……

And it wasn't just Guo Fan's mind that exploded at this moment.

It wasn't just Han Sanpin's chest that was boiling.

The news has also exploded on major portals, Weibo, and major forums.

But the most explosive news was not the news about the premiere of "Lost in Thailand" today.

Instead, it was the news that #Guan Ling did not appear at the premiere of "Lost in Thailand"#.

Although Cheng Long's "Chinese Zodiac" also held its premiere a week ago, Guan Ling did not attend the premiere.

However, the investor behind the film was not Lingyun Media, so there was not much controversy, and "Time Traveler" had not yet been completed at that time.

Naturally, this matter will not cause much trouble.

But this time, everyone knows that Lingyun Media is the investor behind Xu Zheng's filming of "Lost in Thailand". According to Guan Ling, he will show up in the movies released during the Lunar New Year holiday both for public and private reasons.

But this time not only did Guan Ling not show up, but Han Sanpin also did not show up.
All the big guys who usually come to participate failed to show up.

This inevitably coincides with the rumors circulating on the Internet.

Could it be that Director Guan is really going to shoot a science fiction movie that "suppresses the contemporary world"?

For a time, there was a surge of news online.

Right, all right.

Director Guan is going to attend a conference at the Chinese Academy of Sciences today? So he didn't come to the premiere?

Amidst the constant turmoil,

Some students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences posted photos of Han Sanpin, Guan Ling and others on the Internet, instantly pushing the news to a climax.

"Guan Ling did not show up at the premiere of Lost in Thailand today. The rumor that she is suppressing contemporary science fiction movies may not be groundless!"

"Students from the Chinese Academy of Sciences released photos of Guan Ling..."

“The premiere of Lost in Thailand is a more down-to-earth Chinese New Year comedy than Go Fighting.”

"The Chinese Zodiac grossed 4600 million yuan on its first day, and 2.72 million yuan in its first week. Lost in Thailand is expected to break the record of The Chinese Zodiac."

No one expected that it was just a meeting.
Guan Ling can still dominate the hot searches.

But it dominated the hot searches and also promoted "Lost in Thailand".
It almost broke the mentality of directors like Cheng Long.

You should know that it's not just "Chinese Zodiac" that has been released. "The Great Shanghai" was released in early December. It's a gangster movie starring Zhou Runfa, Huang Xiaoming, Hong Jingbao and others, and its box office is relatively average.

Although Wang Jing announced a box office revenue of 300 million.

However, due to the popularity of "Extreme Job" and "Life of Pi", and even "1942" is still in theaters, they have long lost confidence in "The Great Shanghai" and "The Banquet".

It seems like it would be good if we could have more than 100 million.

In addition, the performance of "The Chinese Zodiac" was very good.
"The Grandmaster" was just released on December 12th, "The Guillotines" will also have its first screening today, and tomorrow "Lost in Thailand" will be released.

Everyone is under a lot of pressure during the Lunar New Year period.

Therefore, we intensified public opinion propaganda.

As a result, Yibo was ruined by Guan Ling!

The hot search went viral, and apart from Lost in Thailand, there were almost no other movie names mentioned.

Unless you scroll down for a while.

But the exposure of the first and second are completely different, let alone the first, second, eighth and ninth.

Many people are numb.

And it's not just the director who is numb.

The attention of many celebrities was instantly focused on Guan Ling and Lingyun Media.

My mind wanders.

Science fiction movies are already a big pie that everyone salivates over.

In the previous "2012", Jackie Chan returned to Hollywood and became famous overnight.

"Source Code", Gu Tianle entered the mainland and became a top-tier movie star in the mainland.

In "Inception", Liu Yifei partnered with Leonardo DiCaprio and became the number one Chinese female star, surpassing Zhang Gong in status.

After so many years, Liu Yifei is still sitting there, and many people can only look up at her.

"Aquaman", which can be considered a science fiction film, has a box office of 10 billion in mainland China and a global box office of over billion US dollars, allowing Amber to directly enter the hearts of many Chinese audiences.

"Scarlet Witch" helped Fan Bingbing become a groundbreaking Chinese actress in the past two years, allowing her to enter Hollywood and paving the way for her to succeed.

As long as it's a science fiction movie, Guan Ling has never been defeated.

But before, even for movies like "Scarlet Witch" and "Aquaman", Guan Ling never said anything.

In "Inception", Guan Ling never said the words "suppress China".

So what kind of movie will it be this time?
For a moment, many celebrities' minds were in turmoil.

When Guan Ling returned to the Lingyun Media office and had just parked his car in the underground garage, he saw Yang Mi parking in the space next to him.

"You must be hungry, come in the car and eat."

Guan Ling was about to get in the car, and Guo Fan cleverly evaded the charge, "I need to go to the bathroom, you guys go."

Yang Mi didn't say anything, just smiled.

My thoughts became even more turbulent.

Guan Ling grabbed Yang Mi's shoulders.

"I've been in meetings all day and haven't showered yet."

"This place is not a good place either. You must stick to your duties as a woman."
