Chapter 492 Earth-shattering! Shatter the heroes!
The Lunar New Year festival is like a meat grinder in the movie market, and countless movies may be crushed into mash in this meat grinder.
Domestic and foreign blockbusters will gather here.
In a war, of course some people will become cannon fodder, and even end up in a situation that is not even considered pitiable!
But this of course has nothing to do with Guan Ling.
But with the arrival of the last day of 2011, the news wave set off by the Lunar New Year holiday in 2012 seems a bit strange!
"Thirteen Hairpins" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" are absolute blockbusters, and their box office success is also very good, but the eyes of the industry are all focused on Guan Ling.
News of the air-to-air battle between Chinese and Japanese animated films, after Japan's Studio Ghibli's VCR was reprinted to China, brought the war to its climax.
Countless domestic movie fans have felt a sense of powerlessness caused by the news released by Makoto Shinkai and Studio Ghibli.
Xin Haicheng's meaning is very obvious: "You, Guan Ling, brag about yourself in Venice, but if you don't show up, aren't you just being an ostrich?"
Although the promotional content of "The Wind Rises" is very rich, the shadow of this movie can be seen everywhere in shopping malls, subways, and buses throughout China,
But Guan Ling, why didn't you respond at all?
You were the one who provoked Japanese animated films in the first place, and now people have accepted the challenge and even begun to ridicule you. Why are you ignoring it at all?
Many media are chasing Guan Ling, and they have been able to catch Guan Ling even this month. However, there is nothing they can do since Guan Ling does not accept interviews.
There is a big question mark in the hearts of all movie fans.
"When Guan Ling launched a declaration of war against Japan last year, I applauded him crazily. If Guan Ling himself didn't have the courage to face the enemy, I would feel that my screams last year now seem like a pure stupid game. ”
"The provocation of the Japanese is so obvious that I am already starting to get angry..."
"Guan Ling, why don't you respond?"
"Japanese animated films are very strong, and we all know that, but don't give us hope. Finally, when they decide to compete with you at the same time, you bury your head in the sand. Guan Ling's behavior is nothing like an ostrich." What’s the difference? ”
"This is Japan! If you don't respond, doesn't it mean you're a coward? If you don't withdraw, doesn't it mean you're being a swindler and setting up a memorial arch to defraud fans of their money?"
That morning, news was everywhere on major portal websites and Weibo.
Among them, there are inevitably some doubts about Guan Ling, and some people have even begun to curse.
"Mr. Guan, many people on Weibo are scolding you. Are you really not considering responding?"
Weibo officials specifically contacted Guan Ling during the coming and going. As the chief experience center and general manager of Weibo, he has always been at the forefront of grasping social public opinion.
He had some vague expectations. If Guan Ling's movie really failed this time, it would be difficult for things to end.
It was impossible for him to watch Mr. Guan, one of Weibo's shareholders, being exposed, so it was appropriate to issue a reminder this time.
"It doesn't matter, it's only a matter of a few hours."
Guan Ling's smile was flat.
It seems that in his own eyes, all this is nothing at all.
It's a good thing to have a scolding war, even if it's about himself.
Guan Ling likes this kind of reverse plot, which is the best rhythm for the promotion of the movie.
After coming and going, he calmed down a little, and he understood a little bit what Guan Ling meant. In a few hours, it would be the premiere.
But...
Why is Guan Ling so confident?
……
“The 100-meter-long red carpet at the Shanghai Film Studio is full of ritual, and is surrounded by classic characters from many of Shanghai’s previous cartoons, such as “Havoc in Heaven,” “Nezha in the Sea,” “Tales from the Heavenly Book,” and “Black Cat Cop.” "Long", "Calabash Brothers" and "Baolian Lantern" all appear, making people unable to help but fall into endless memories! ”
"All movie stars gathered at the premiere, Liu Dehua smiled, and Yang Mi had an invincible aura. As a newly rising movie star, Yang Mi was gathered by all parties!"
"Bona Yudong appeared on the red carpet and greeted the fans around him cordially."
"Ning Hao appeared for the first time since the official announcement of the all-star cast movie. After being interviewed by reporters about whether he had confidence in Guan Ling's animated movie, Ning Hao showed innocent eyes."
"Zhang Yimou and Tsui Hark gathered together, and the Lunar New Year competitors all came to support Guan Ling's premiere!"
"Er Dongsheng appeared at the premiere. The director of the film "The Magician" will be released on January 12. Perhaps he has some purpose of spying on his competitors."
"Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanpin appeared on the red carpet of the Magic City Art Studio. When reporters asked about the news about Guan Ling, Ren Zhonglun responded with a smile and asked Guan Ling himself."
"Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanpin are all smiles. As the producers of "The Wind Rises", their mentality seems not to have been affected by any public opinion."
All kinds of news are circulating frequently in the news media.
Even on Sina Entertainment, various portals, and even forums, there are continuous updates to the timeline.
It was not until about 1:40 in the afternoon that Guan Ling's figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.
His figure quickly walked across the red carpet, and the surrounding flashlights almost blinded him, but he did not even raise his head.
Many reporters even wanted to stop him outside the screening room, but Guan Ling just pointed at his watch.
1:50,
Guan Ling stood on the stage of the screening room. Under the filming of the media who were invited to enter the screening room, most people at the scene suddenly stood up.
Because Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanpin stood up.
Others soon followed suit,
Guan Ling nodded slightly to Ren Zhonglun and Han Sanpin, then picked up the microphone.
There are only ten minutes left before the premiere starts, which seems to mean that there will be no performance or anything in this premiere.
Isn't this a sign of a guilty conscience?
At least for many fans at the scene, that's how they felt.
But Guan Ling didn't care.
After a while, Guan Ling picked up the phone and spoke with a smile.
"Dear leaders, colleagues, and film fans, good afternoon everyone."
The cinema soon fell into silence.
Give respect and applause to others' speeches, and silence is a compulsory course.
"When I came over just now, the flash outside almost blinded me. In the infield, I also saw CCTV, Sina, Sohu and other media. I know there are many reporters and friends here who have many questions. You are very urgent. , but don’t worry yet.
"This premiere is not actually grand, nor is it an absolute sensation, because to me, those fictitious things have no meaning to this movie."
"During this period, I did not do anything as stated on the Internet. On the contrary, this animated film has now been sent to the Annie Award, and has also been sent to the Oscars and the Berlin Film Festival. So the news on the Internet, everyone Don’t worry.”
Guan Ling's voice was very calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
But everyone below was shocked.
The Annie Awards, the Berlin Film Festival and the Oscars were all sent to these three places by Guan Ling, which only shows that Guan Ling has absolute confidence in this film,
So why didn't he respond?
Ma Yufei is currently sitting at the front of the film critics section. As a new opinion leader in film criticism in recent years, he is also one of those who are close to Guan Ling. He has achieved the feat of having more than 300,000 followers on Weibo, and He also led his family towards a prosperous home.
After Guan Ling finished speaking, Ma Yufei suddenly realized something.
If the competition between movies is compared to a war, then one side does not respond, but is ready to attack, and the purpose of burying the pot and making a living is obviously... a sneak attack!
When this idea appeared in his mind, Ma Yufei was a little surprised for a moment!
But it can only be explained by this reason. Signing up for major film festivals shows that Guan Ling is confident, which naturally means that Guan Ling is well prepared to fight against the enemy, that is, to make a living without responding, naturally he will do something. A sneak attack...
But what movie exactly is it? Will Guan Ling have to do this?
Ma Yufei felt a little incredible!
His eyes immediately continued to stare at Guan Ling's face.
……
Guan Ling straightened his clothes.
Below the screening room, the crowd was silent.
They really didn't expect that Guan Ling would give everyone a big surprise when he appeared!
For what Guan Ling announced in Venice, if he really thought he would be slapped in the face, would he give his face to Oscar, Berlin, and Anne?
Obviously not,
Unless he's crazy!
This means that those speculations and conjectures on the Internet have no credibility at all!
Even the fans at the scene knew this.
Everyone's breathing could not help but become heavier.
"Now that we're done, let's give the media and the audience a bonus. I don't mind if you take a few photos at this premiere. After the movie is over, I hope that the relevant news will not just be Update on the domestic website, it is best to promote it on the external website as well
But don’t make videos, it will affect my box office. For things like spending money to watch movies, stealing photos is not called stealing. However, if you take photos illegally, please respect the hard work of Xiamodu Art Film Studio. ”
Guan Ling said softly and made a joke to everyone.
"Speaking of the promotion on the external network, I hope that the media at the scene who have influence on the external network, no matter which country your influence is in, can help. You are just distributing news. Lingyun Media will provide classic gifts when the time comes. < br>
Similarly, I can also tell you that for the promotion of this movie overseas, Lingyun Media, Skyline Lingyun, our Taiwan Province, Hong Kong, and even South Korea in East Asia, I have already made all preparations for the promotion, and in In South Korea, this drama will be released simultaneously tomorrow,
So you don’t have to worry about me burying my head in the sand like an ostrich. ”
After saying this, the audience burst into laughter.
Since these clips were not during the movie screening, the relevant live broadcasts were also spread on movie channels, Sina Entertainment, and even various portal websites.
Guan Ling's words were relaxed and casual.
But it caused a collective confusion among countless movie fans across the country who paid attention to the premiere.
Previously, no information about what Guan Ling said was published on the Internet!
"Is this movie going to be released simultaneously in Korea?"
“Propaganda across the entire network, isn’t this considered facing the enemy head-on?”
"The three major foreign film festivals, Oscars, and the highest hall of animation awards, these three places all prove that Guan Ling has put a lot of effort into this movie, and yet it is still questioned by this group of trolls on the Internet!"
"How do I feel? It's a bit strange... Have any of you ever thought about it? Now that Guan Ling has decided to do this, why hasn't he responded before? You know, last year the Japanese said that Guan Ling plagiarized "Inception". Not long ago He held an official press conference to respond the day before, but this time, Guan Ling endured it for a full month.”
"What is Guan Ling's purpose?"
"For an ordinary man, forbearance is the flower language of marriage. For a slightly handsome man, forbearance is the flower language of steel balls. For a mature and rich man like Guan Ling, his forbearance must represent the symbol of marriage. Certain purposes..."
"Upstairs, what the hell did you say? Besides, the flower language of steel wool also includes wealth! Without wealth, who would tolerate it?"
"Similarly, for Guan Ling, there is no purpose, so why tolerate it? It seems that his only purpose now is to let the Japanese animated film fall into the quagmire of public opinion with him."
"How can he be afraid of a Japanese animated movie? That's a movie written by Hayao Miyazaki."
"What if?"
This "what if" sentence instantly silenced the various comments on the portal website.
At this moment, in the hearts of countless Chinese viewers, an emotion suddenly rose up.
What if?
What if Guan Ling just wants to make this matter bigger and bigger, so that Chinese movie fans, Japanese movie fans, and even all the movie fans who originally paid attention to Venice will pay attention to this matter,
And then give the Japanese a counterattack? !
After this idea came out, the truth was self-evident.
Guan Ling didn't waste much time.
After these words were said, the movie began to play.
Then, the movie channel's live broadcast created a feat. Their live broadcast of the premiere had no singing and dancing, no gorgeous decorations, and no stars on the stage.
The entire lens, with a slow sweeping angle, is aimed at the fans watching the movie.
In front of TV and the Internet, all Chinese viewers are a little confused in their minds.
Is it possible that the movie channel has to waste two hours just to see the expressions of the audience? What's the purpose? What's the logic? Isn’t this a waste of movie channel resources?
But the movie channel really did just that!
He literally shot in a circle, from left to right, from front to back, from near to far, with the camera stationed on everyone's face.
At the beginning, the camera was looking for Zhang Yimou.
His slightly rough, bark-like face had deeply sunken eyes, but there was a faint smile on his face at first.
Then the camera looked at Brother Chen Kai, and the smile on his face suddenly turned solemn, and his brows furrowed, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Yang Mi looked at it for a short time, lowered her head solemnly, and covered her eyes.
Ning Hao never had any mood swings, just holding his chin with one hand, but in the middle of the movie, he seemed to be shaking a little.
Yu Dong's mood has always been one of expectant eyes and hee hee written all over his face, but in the end, it quickly turned into no hee hee.
Mu Tingting kept squinting his eyes and showed no emotion throughout the whole process.
Liu Dehua touched his forehead with both hands, his eyes widened, as if he had seen something extraordinary.
Many viewers later discovered that although what CCTV did was quite strange, seeing those celebrities and the director's emotional fluctuations was an unexpected surprise to the viewers.
Countless screenshots were taken from the screen.
Their expressions before and after, and their movements before and after all prove that they are deeply involved in the emotions of the movie.
In the middle of the movie, many people's eyes became solemn.
When the camera was photographed, many viewers clenched their fists. Especially Huang Bo, in the close-up, his fists seem to have veins popping out.
Then, Huang Bo's fist became a frequent close-up scene as time went by.
He clenched his fists, released them, clenched them, and then sighed helplessly.
Suddenly, Huang Bo's face had a very white light, which made his eyes seem to have hope. Then, Huang Bo suddenly stood up!
The camera returns to the long shot.
Zhang Yimou suddenly stood up! Brother Chen Kai suddenly stood up! Yang Mi, Liu Dehua, Mu Tingting, Zhang Shi, Yu Dong, Han Sanpin, Ren Zhonglun...
Everyone suddenly stood up!
There were even faint tears in his eyes!
Each of them seemed to feel something earth-shattering!
"Hiss..."
In front of the TV and in front of the computer, many people made the same sound...
