China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 94 Arrangement
On March 3, another bombshell suddenly hit the Internet.

Chen Guofu, who had just signed with Huayi for only half a year, suddenly switched to Lingyun Media.

When the news came out, it caused an uproar in the industry.

Compared with this news, the news that Kang Honglei, who directed "Soldier Assault", was signed by Ling Yun seems to be less stormy.

Netizens are not that sensitive to this news, but the industry is already discussing this matter in full swing.

Chen Guofu is the newly signed artistic director of Huayi, and his status is not low in the three places across the Taiwan Strait. After all, he has won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award.

As a director, Chen Guofu's reputation is not that great, but as a producer, Chen Guofu's level and ability in the industry are recognized.

Wang Jinghua from Chengtian Entertainment was in the office and saw the audition information sent by Guan Ling. She saw the news.

"It's not in vain that I give you this information. If you can win over Chen Guofu, the channels for my artists will be wider." She said to herself.

This news made her very happy. She knew the abilities of Chen Guofu and others, so once they work for Huayi, the actors of Chengtian Entertainment will have fewer channels.

His switch to Lingyun not only prevented some projects from being exclusive to Huayi, but also allowed them to deepen their relationship with Lingyun Media.

This matter is a good thing for both parties.

The signal of the audition notice is also very obvious, because Guan Ling not only gave Xia Yu the role of Xia Yu in the casting of the new movie, but also invited her own Chen Daomin to participate in the role of a Chinese representative.This may be the result of gaining Guan Ling's friendship.

After a while, Chen Daomin came over.

"There is a role in Director Guan's Hollywood drama. Do you want to try it?"

"You know, I choose the script for acting." Chen Daomin didn't hear clearly at first.

"This is a script directed by Guan Lingguan, winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay." Wang Jinghua said with a smile, "If you are not satisfied with this script, what else can you be satisfied with?"

Chen Daomin has always had a principle. Firstly, the script must have content that spreads positive social energy. Secondly, scripts that exaggerate historical content will not be filmed. Thirdly, scripts with sloppy and shoddy plots will not be filmed!

So he doesn't actually have many scenes.

Some time ago, CCTV had the hit "Sleeping on Fire and Taste the Courage", which was filmed last year, but since this drama last year, he has not taken on any roles.

Because they were all similar historical drama characters, and there was no challenge, he didn't want to play them.

Chen Daomin was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses: "That $[-] million drama that was posted on the Internet?"

"Correct."

Chen Daomin sat on the sofa and said, "If it's Director Guan, I think I can respond first."

"I said over there that I won't be given a script and can only watch it after signing a contract. What's your principle?" Wang Jinghua joked.

"What principles do I want from the Oscar winner?" Chen Daomin also showed a knowing smile. "As you said, if I'm not satisfied with his script, there's nothing else I can be satisfied with."

"It's not a big role."

"There are no small roles, only small actors."

Chen Daomin didn't care. No matter how small the role was, as long as he was there, he could still perform brilliantly.

…………

In the new scene, Zhang Weiping learned the news that Chen Guofu was taken down by Lingyun Media, and talked to Zhang Yimou on the side.

"Yimou, your junior brother is much more sophisticated than the rest of us. At least he knows how to cut off Hua Yi's arm first."

Zhang Yimou asked, "Will I poach you one day?"

"What you're saying is that even if I dig you, you won't dig me." Zhang Weiping choked.

In the Beijing circle, Lu Chuan saw the news, "Lao Chen had a very good relationship with the Wang brothers and Director Feng. How could he suddenly switch to Lingyun Media?"

He was particularly surprised. Logically speaking, Chen Guofu was an outsider monk after all, and would not be likely to defect in battle. After all, a outsider monk who wanted to meditate must have a good personal reputation, but he left resolutely. .

"Lingyun Media must have paid an unimaginable price." Luc Chuan was a little resentful. Guan Ling was so rich that he would not invest in his new movie.

This is a masterpiece of his painstaking efforts!

Wang Shuo looked at the news there and said: "Feng Pengtong called me a few days ago and said that Guan Ling was arrogant and wanted to bring down Huayi. Now it seems that Guan Ling was not unreasonable. Others may not be able to do it. He Really capable." This guy in the Beijing circle has a very explosive temper, and now it doesn't matter what news comes out of Guan Ling.

Jiang Wen has been shutting himself in the house for several months, only going out occasionally.

He couldn't even shout.

This guy Guan Ling has magical powers.

At Feng Xiaogang's home, he stared blankly at the news on the Internet.

"Why, Wang and I always eat and chat together. Just after I hired you to come to Huayi, you turned around and left. Chen Guofu, are you worthy of us?!"

he cursed angrily.

Huayi,

The two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other.

"Guan Ling went too far! We have to fight back!" Wang Zhonglei slapped the table with a loud bang.

"Counterattack, how can we counterattack?" Wang Zhongjun also wanted to counterattack, but he just won an Oscar, how could he possibly defeat him? !

Use Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly" to snipe his $[-] million blockbuster?Give me a break!

It would be nice not to be sniped by others. If they really knew their release schedule, Huayi would be eager to adjust the schedule. Now that they saw the name Guan Ling, they were a little frightened.

Not to mention a blockbuster.

Wang Zhonglei was silent.

What's more, he is also the boss of Lingyun Media.With these two identities, he is not romantic but abnormal! "

"Then we won't fight back? Are we going to suffer like this?"

"How can we not fight back, but we cannot be passive. The most important thing now is to go public, to survive, and to seize the opportunity to make movies and TV series or movies that make money and gain reputation like "Soldiers Assault" and "A World Without Thieves". Entertainment Enterprises, in the final analysis, are still works.”

Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a while.

"I have already signed the contract with Wu Ershan, and I have also contacted the one in charge of Beijing Circle. He has been filming a TV series recently, and I invited him to come over. Tsui Hark also agreed to join. If he can't find a big actor, then Looking for young actors, as long as the project is good, I don’t believe that we, an entertainment production company, can be killed.”

The two brothers are actually quite smart and know how to start from a production perspective.

"Director Guan always makes big news quietly. I, Lao Yu, will stand firmly on Ling Yun's side. When will we take action?" Bona Yudong called.He had already hugged his thighs tightly, and this was the time to show his loyalty.

"Mr. Yu said what I said, how can I do it? After all, they are also a big company, but I don't want to have too much contact with the people I work with. There are so many projects, don't you think?" Guan Ling said in a confused tone. Not cool.

Yu Dong understood what it meant. He had been looking forward to Huayi's death for a long time. He relied on China Film and Lingyun to make a living. The presence or absence of Huayi would not have much impact on him. On the contrary, killing a competitor would be very beneficial to him.

In fact, he also understood why Guan Ling did this.

How can there be such a big hatred between the two?
But everyone can see that Ling Yun wants to be the boss of a private production company in Beijing, and this battle will happen sooner or later.

As for Ling Yun and Guan Ling, they have a closer relationship with China Film Group and are more capable. In terms of honors, they can be considered worthy of winning the Oscar.

No matter what, we will get dividends every ten years and twenty years.

Huayi is really gone.It's good for everyone. Isn't there such an event in history? It's called the division of Jin into three families.

The more Benet you take, the better you develop.

When Huayi took over their distribution channels in Hong Kong, the queues were divided.

Bona will never be on Huayi's side unless Huayi pays a high price.

The glamorous Wang Changtian was also shocked by Guan Ling's quick actions. He called and circled the phone without saying anything.

Dadi Cinema Chain was more straightforward. Yan Yu called over and said, "The theater chain wants to make money, but for some movies that don't make money, the theater schedule may not be high, but it depends on the situation. Director Guan, do you understand?" I’m looking forward to your own and new movies that have a good relationship with you.”

Wanda Cinemas has not participated in this kind of thing for the time being. For them, whoever makes money is the boss. What if Huayi's new movie becomes a big hit?

……

Boss Guan is very proud of having captured Chen Guofu.

But the matter was far from over. We held video conferences with Gai Naote and Zhang Song respectively, remotely directed the construction of some basic models, and asked about the approximate completion time of the models.

"It is estimated that it will be completed in early April. You'd better come over at the end of March and we can confirm again. Guan, I am looking forward to the scene of you destroying the earth more and more."

The more Gai Nao Te builds, the more frightened he becomes.The cost is really high, but if the effect is really achieved, it will be really good.

He is somewhat looking forward to the finished film after filming and editing.

"The filming is scheduled to start in early April. You can suggest to Fox that we need to spread rumors around the world. I hope everyone has heard of Maya's prophecy."

"Guan, it's not you who said it. I didn't know there was such a thing, but I checked and found that there really is a Mayan prophecy. Do you think the prophecy is true? Will there really be an end of the world?"

"If it's true, I won't let you spread rumors, brother! Keep your head clear." Guan Ling hung up the phone.

Later, Guan Ling met with several directors who had signed contracts with the crew.

The first one is Yang Qing.

"I heard that you did a lot of miscellaneous work in other crews? Have you done everything?"

In fact, it took a long time to sign the contract, and Guan Ling never had time to take care of these people, especially Yang Qing. In fact, with his ability, Guan Ling felt that he could get started, and there would be no problem with a small-budget film.

"Director Guan, when I was studying in the directing department of China National Theater, I had been doing odd jobs on the crew. Now I am familiar with the entire process of film production."

""Crazy Racing" is about to start filming. When the time comes, you will follow Director Ning to practice and learn more. I will evaluate your performance with Director Ning and decide whether to let you direct the new movie alone."

"Me?" Yang Qing was going crazy with excitement, "Directing a new movie alone? Director Guan, is it true?"

"Sister Chen told me that you are the most dedicated among Ling Yun's new directors."

Guan Ling said,
"Before I filmed "Uninvited Guests", I had an immature idea. It was also a small-budget comedy, but it focused more on laughter. This is a little record of mine at the time. You can take a look. I can write the script, but I would rather you perfect it yourself. If your script passes my review, you can start filming. I will be the producer."

Yang Qing took a few pages of paper handed over by Guan Ling. There was only a summary and a few characters on it, but the lines were not finished. It looked like a semi-finished product, and the name was "Nightclub".

What excited Yang Qing the most was that Guan Ling said he would be the producer.This commitment is too heavy!This is to support him!
"Thank you, thank you Director Guan, I will definitely improve this script, and I will definitely change it to your satisfaction!"

"Don't be too nervous. Even if you invest in this movie, Ling Yun's cost won't be too much, but I'm the producer and the box office revenue will definitely be no problem. But I hope you don't ruin my reputation."

Yang Qing nodded heavily.

This opportunity is too important to him.

Guan Ling could directly write the script for Yang Qing, but Guan Ling first felt that it would be a bit embarrassing for the Oscars to write the script of "Nightclub" by himself. Furthermore, Guan Ling also intended to put some pressure on Yang Qing so that young people could have more experience. Fast growth.

Later, Lu Yang also entered the house.

"Did you graduate this year?" Guan Ling asked him.

"Yes, senior brother, I will graduate in June this year."

"It's quite fast now that I think about it. It's almost been a year since I graduated." Guan Ling said casually.

Lu Yang: "..."

A bit perverted, isn't it?You are still in graduate school, have you forgotten?
Unable to answer this, Lu Yang smiled awkwardly.

"I heard that your short film last year won the first prize in the National College Video Exhibition?"

"Yes, Senior Brother, I directed "Going Home" last year and luckily won an award. At the beginning of the year, I worked as the executive director of the documentary "Bian Lu". I don't have any other jobs now. I have been studying the director's previous films in the company. Scripts, as well as the scripts of excellent domestic films in recent years.”

"Then what do you think?"

"I definitely don't dare to comment on those blockbuster films, but I feel that in films such as "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the more important thing is about love, and there is not much reference to "Xia". What is "Seven Swords"? None, and some of those actions were actually not in line with the social environment at that time. On the contrary, in "Fearless Fearless" and the scenes of Brother Cheng Long, martial arts actions are more suitable. But this is just my imagination, I just say it casually. "

"You know a lot about martial arts movements?" Guan Ling was surprised.

No wonder they can co-write a movie like "Xiu Chun Knife".

"My dad is from the Writers' Association. When I was a child, I did read a lot of miscellaneous books." Lu Yang sneered. He had nothing to hide about his family background.

"Look at this script." Guan Ling threw "Embroidered Spring Knife" to Lu Yang,
"I will make time to film this film, but I will only film one film. You and I will be together when the time comes, but I am going to make it into a series, and I am going to let you be the director for the subsequent ones.

Study the script first. In fact, the most important thing about this play is the action you mentioned. You study this and draw the storyboard. Every character and every action must fit the characteristics of the character. Do you understand? "

After Guan Ling said a few words, Lu Yang was a little confused.

"I see."

He held the script and nodded hastily, feeling like he had been hit by a huge pie.

Director Guan personally took it and became the director himself in the future. This opportunity is not available to ordinary people.
