China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 96 "2012" shooting begins!
In the afternoon, at the first Asian Film Awards ceremony, Guan Ling saw the cast of "The Golden Armor" by Zhang Yimou and Gong Li.

Since Guan Ling's French stick had not been consecrated for a long time, even though he had wielded it many times last night, he was still in high spirits when he got up.

And Liu Yan was even more refreshed and her face was rosy.

Both of them looked good and seemed to be enjoying themselves well.

On the red carpet, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi were duking it out. Since Liu Yan was also shortlisted for Best Actress for "Shark Beach", she was frequently drawn out by the media to compare the two. The camera often looked at the three of them.

But in fact, everyone knows very well that although "Shark Beach" is a one-man show, compared to Gong Li's acting skills in "The Golden Armor", Liu Yanzhen is still inferior.

Not to mention that Gong Li just won the No. 13 Best Actress Award from the Hong Kong Film Critics Association.

"Guan Dao looks good." Zhang Yimou came over and smiled.

Gong Li also came over to greet Guan Ling, "Director Guan. I was in the United States some time ago. Unfortunately, I was busy promoting "Miami Vice" and I couldn't meet him. It's such a pity."

"The acting in "Miami Vice" was so good. Sister Gong has finally established a foothold in Hollywood this time. "The Golden Jacket" is also good. It is said that the distribution buyout rights were sold a lot?" Guan Ling looked at Zhang Yimou.

"They asked for 5000 million, but I didn't agree. I still want to talk." Zhang Yimou is very ambitious.

Half as good as "Hearing Girl", Zhang Yimou is not very happy.After all, the investment is here, and the profit is not as much as "Hearing Girl".

No, if I win another award at the first Asia Awards, the copyright may be increased by several million dollars, which is not a problem.

Liu Dehua waved to Guan Ling from a distance, and Guan Ling smiled and nodded.

It's been the 20th, and Guan Ling knows that Liu Dehua will soon be in trouble, and the father of his crazy little fan will soon commit suicide by throwing himself into the sea.

Thinking about it, Liu Dehua was also unlucky to encounter such a thing.

I met Jia Zhangke and Johnnie To. In fact, they can be said to have come to the stage to support the first Asian Film Awards.

Zhang Zhen was also there, his role in "Wu Qingyuan" was shortlisted for Best Actor. The play was filmed by Tian Zhuangzhuang, but Tian Zhuangzhuang did not come because the crew was not shortlisted for the award.

"Director Guan, congratulations on winning the Oscar. Mr. Tian praised you a lot when we were filming the movie." Zhang Zhen came over to say hello and wanted to take the opportunity to improve our relationship.

Guan Ling stopped him, "I have a drama coming later, are you interested?"

"Me? Thank you so much, Director Guan," Zhang Zhen was a little excited. Not everyone has a chance in Guan Ling's new drama!But it soon turned into a bitter look.

"But I have just accepted a film, and I may be joining the cast soon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. Director Wu has stricter requirements."

"It's not a recent shoot. I should take some time to shoot after I come back from Hollywood. We'll see the schedule then." Guan Ling realized that the other party was going to join the team to shoot "Red Cliff".

Han Sanpin was very proud of himself recently. Seeing Guan Ling win the Oscar, his mind wandered, and he excitedly pulled Wu Baige to continue making historical blockbusters.

Bong Joon-ho came over with Xiao Xiba's classic accent: "Congratulations, Guan, I'm glad you won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. This is what I have always wanted to do for Korean movies."

"Peace and peace." Guan Ling responded enthusiastically. In fact, this time, Bong Joon-ho is a strong opponent in the competition for best movie and best actor.

And to be honest, there is indeed a slight gap between Chinese movies and Korean movies in their previous lives.The main thing is that the big scissors are different.

Liu Weiqiang came here on a trot. He was shortlisted for Best Cinematography this time for "Scarred City". In fact, he was not planning to come because everyone knew very well this time that "Monster on the Han River" might win Best Cinematography.

But after knowing that Guan Ling was coming, Liu Weiqiang came decisively.

As soon as he saw Guan Ling entering the venue, Liu Weiqiang wanted to come over. When Zhang Yimou and others left, he immediately ran over.

"Hello Guan Sheng, I am Liu Weiqiang." Liu Weiqiang stretched out his hands to shake, "Guan Sheng's words at the Oscars ceremony relieved Liu's anger!"

"Hello Director Liu, I will say the same thing again. "Infernal Affairs" is an impossible film in the history of Chinese films. No one can erase the efforts of Hong Kong filmmakers in it."

"Okay, with people like this in the Mainland, why worry about the Chinese film industry not being prosperous? I will be your host after the awards ceremony, and you must come."

The organizer enthusiastically introduced many big names who came, and congratulated Guan Ling on winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for the first time at the Asian level.

Everyone applauded Guan Ling enthusiastically.

The awards ceremony was somewhat unexpected. Hanjiang Monster received five nominations and only won two awards for Best Cinematography and Best Visual Effects.

The best picture went to "The Good Man".

The best director went to Guan Ling.

He Bing won the Best Actor award, otherwise Guan Ling, the Best Director, would not have won enough to convince the audience.

Everyone is not surprised by this result. Human beings are wise. The director who just won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay cannot win this Asian Film Award. Will this be done in the future?
The funniest thing is the choice of Best Actress. Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li competed for beauty for several days. The press release had already given them momentum, but the award was won by Japanese actress Miki Nakatani through "Love Over Flowers".

When the camera found the three mainland actresses who were shortlisted.

Liu Yan was slightly disappointed, while the faces of the other two people turned dark.

The Asian Movie Box Office Superstar Award went to Liu Dehua, and "The Night Banquet" won the best art director. "The Golden Armor" came with high hopes and left full of disappointment. Zhang Yimou's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it.

Domestic news is out again. "Guan Ling won the Best Director at the first Asian Film Awards, but Zhang Yimou came back disappointed!"

"Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, and Liu Yan are all vying for beauty, and the Japanese heroine is the most popular!"

"Is this title serious?" Some netizens were attracted by the title, but found that it was full of deceptive things.

Nothing to see at all.

At first glance, I seemed to recognize this actress. She seemed to have acted in "The Ring".

"He Bing wins the Best Actor Award again, and the Stone God conquers Asia." This is the promotional release from BJ People's Art to He Bing. Now he is not only a pillar of BJ People's Art, but also a cash cow of BJ People's Art.

Golden Horse Best Actor and Best Actor at the Asian Film Awards, He Bing's commercial value suddenly increased dozens of times.

That night, I couldn't resist Liu Weiqiang's constant invitations.
Guan Ling, Liu Dehua, Liu Weiqiang and others had a meal in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is not big, so Cheng Long also came with him.

"Hong Kong filmmakers are all convinced by what Director Guan said at the Oscars. In fact, even if Director Guan doesn't say it, no one will say anything wrong. After all, Director Guan, you are shouldering the pressure of the Oscars, but you said it, and I'm really convinced. ." Mai Zhaohui, who came with him, raised his glass and drank two glasses of wine.

"I was watching the live broadcast at the time." Liu Dehua also raised his glass and gave a thumbs up. "At that time, the camera looked for someone from Oscar's side, and he was also scared."

"These are all trivial matters. No matter who it is, I believe that they don't want "Infernal Affairs" to be said to be a Japanese movie." Guan Ling waved his hand to indicate that it was all trivial matters.

After having some drinks, everyone talked about movies and plays.

"This time, Brother Cheng Long went to Hollywood to film with Director Guan, but the news has not been revealed yet. Director Guan, can you tell me, what type of movie is it?"

Liu Dehua was very curious.

Guan Ling smiled and said to everyone:
"It's true that I can't say it, but I can tell you that the entire earth will explode."

"You all should stop prying. When the movie is released, you will see a different me."

Cheng Long has studied the script very thoroughly recently. In fact, the characters in the script are really similar to him.

Everyone had a great time drinking in the evening. Guan Ling was taken back to the hotel by Liu Yan and others, and they took good care of him all night.

Ate a lot of Shaoxing Drunken Chicken.

After returning to the mainland, Guan Ling made an appointment with Chen Daomin, Xia Yu, and Lu Zhong to meet and sign a contract. In fact, their roles were not many, and their lines were very simple. They were basically just characters who showed their faces.

Guangxian and Bona also sent artist lists. Guangxian sent someone named Ai Zhichao. Guan Ling took a look and thought, isn't this Bao Beier?
It was simply a character who showed his face, Guan Ling didn't bother to think about it, but this guy's image was really good enough to play a People's Liberation Army soldier, and the little monk who was with the host just happened to suit him.

Guan Ling directly arranged for him to shave his head.

The person Bona played was Sun Honglei, who actually acted like the People's Liberation Army. Guan Ling was actually quite pleasantly surprised.

He has already obtained the copyright for the novel "Latent", and this is a gift of a pillow when drowsiness comes.

"Director Guan, I'm very grateful that you can give me this opportunity. I will definitely film my role well according to the director's requirements." Sun Honglei began to thank him without reading the script.When you go to Hollywood, no matter how small a role you play, it’s worth playing.

Jing Tian also followed Ye Ning to visit Ling Yun, and Guan Ling saw this person who later became synonymous with silly and sweet.

There are not many silly and sweet actresses in the entertainment industry, and this one is indeed one of them.

But at this time, Jingtian's eyes were completely bright, and it seemed that he was well protected by his family.

"Hello, Director Guan." Jingtian smiled brightly, "I'm looking forward to starring in your new movie, Director Guan."

"I'm also looking forward to your outstanding performance."

Guan Ling still doesn't mind using clichés to investors.

"I will definitely work hard." Jingtian clenched his fists. Guan Ling's new movie opportunity will probably make a lot of money in the entertainment industry. "They all said that you, Director Guan, are fierce. Now it seems that the rumors are wrong." The little girl was quite pleasantly surprised.

"It's okay. If you don't work hard, you will see the cursing side of me." Guan Ling immediately became serious.

At the end of March, Guan Ling and others flew to Vancouver, where they would shoot "2012". The shooting period was actually not long.Most likely it will only be three months.

Mainly in the later stages.

When we landed in Vancouver, Guyot was already waiting at the airport.

"Guan, hurry up and start, I can't wait for this movie!"

"Jackie Chan, can I call you Chan from now on? Your role in the play is so cool. I think the role of Guan was written specifically for you. No one can survive in that environment except you, only you, Because you have Chinese Kung Fu!"

"Oh...da!" He made a Bruce Lee gesture.

Gai Naote was a little excited, but Guan Ling suspected that he was tired during this period and was a little mentally disturbed.
