Chapter 499: Two Annie Awards! Bingbing’s wandering!
January 25, 2012.
Little year.
There are only eight days left before the Chinese New Year, but there is a hint of anticipation for the New Year in the entire atmosphere in the capital.
Guan Ling was almost drained by Liu Yifei during this period,
When I stand up, I always feel like my steps are floating, as if I am standing in cotton.
The previous news of confrontation with Japanese animated films seems to have been no longer mentioned,
Mainly because it's not interesting.
Japan showed their excellent history of being good at surrender, and soon they took the initiative to disarm.
They also presented the seal of their biggest banner, Mr. Hayao Miyazaki.
For a time, the domestic and foreign media lost interest in reporting on this matter with great fanfare.
But in the minds of countless domestic animators, Guan Ling's battle can be described as a god, and he is invincible in the industry!
But things are not over yet. In the last period before the New Year,
The news that Guan Ling is about to go to Annie, Berlin, and Oscar has once again aroused heated discussions on the Internet.
The first question that poses to many movie fans is, what is the Annie Award?
Many media have popularized the relevant news. The Annie Awards are called the Oscars of the animation industry. They are the same American animation awards as the four international A-level animation festivals sponsored by the World Animation Association!
Among the four international A-level animation festivals, the one that people are slightly more familiar with is the Annecy International Animation Festival in France. It is the most prestigious and the earliest one in the world.
Previously, the domestic animation "McDull Story" won the Animation Feature Award at the film festival in 2003!
This is also the biggest award that China Animation has received since its initial development so far!
As for the Annie Award, no Chinese animation has ever been to it!
As soon as the news came out, netizens understood!
Is co-authoring another strange person? ! understand!
Everyone is already used to it.
But after relevant media compiled an inventory of the best animated feature films of all time at the Annie Awards, countless animation enthusiasts and even the vast majority of followers still screamed in exclamation on the Internet!
Since its establishment, "Beauty and the Beast", "Aladdin", "The Lion King", "Pocahontas", "Toy Story", "Mulan", "Shrek", "Spirited Away", "Kung Fu Panda"......
The best works appearing on the list of this film festival are all famous names that people are most familiar with!
"When I saw other movies, I was just a little surprised. After all, I had never paid attention to such an award before. But when I saw "Spirited Away", I suddenly realized why Director Guan wanted to participate in this award. Award!”
"Japanese animated films are very strong, but even if Miyazaki Hayao wrote the script, Director Guan didn't want to just let the matter pass. This wave is a pursuit, right? Wherever the Japanese animated films have gone before, I will go Go and see!”
"I also checked and found out that "Spirited Away" had previously won four awards at the Annie Awards for Best Animated Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Soundtrack, and it also won a gold medal at the Berlin Film Festival. Bear Award, and then went to the Oscars to win the Best Animated Feature Film. I contacted Director Guan for this trip. Why did I feel that Director Guan went there on purpose? "
"Remake of "Spirited Away"? Isn't it a bit far behind?"
The corners of people's mouths on the Internet began to twitch, because everyone knows that "Spirited Away" is awesome. This animation was once regarded as a masterpiece by many Chinese people. Throughout the history of movies, people think that this animation is a combination of art and commerce. The best combination of childlike innocence and depth in an animated film, if not one. The meaning of it is that different ages will have different feelings when watching it.
No matter it is the magnificent and colorful art design or the weird monsters, they cannot resist the lines in it that reflect the cruel reality.
"If you don't work, you will disappear"
"If you eat too much, you will turn into a pig"
"Don't eat too fat, you will be killed!"
"Some things are impossible to forget, we just can't remember them for a while."
"When flying downward, tears flow upward."
The touch and shock it brings penetrate the limitations of time and space. Among Disney's industrialized animations, the animations drawn by Hayao Miyazaki stroke by stroke, each frame shows how much sincerity they have dedicated.
In the hearts of many animation practitioners, although "The Wind Rises" has also moved and excited countless Chinese people, it is limited to China's war situation at that time. Let alone a remake, even if it wins one or two awards, it is still Excellent results!
When some news interviews Guan Ling, Guan Ling just smiles.
Guan Ling himself doesn't have much confidence in whether the movie can win some animation awards.
Guan Ling doesn’t know anyone at the Annie Awards. Although he was shortlisted for Best Animated Feature Film, Best Character Animation Award and Best Animated Film Screenplay this time, there are competitors like “Kung Fu Panda 2” here. , Guan Ling will not publicize his attitude towards winning the award in a high profile.
Moreover, this play has also been adapted by Guan Ling.
In the previous life, this drama was only shortlisted. Although it was nominated for the Golden Lion Award and the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, in the end it failed to win anything. It only won a small award for the consolation of the Annie Award.
So this time, if Guan Ling had any expectations, it was none.
Just drop in and then go back to Hollywood to continue the final processing of "Scarlet Witch."
January 28th.
Fan Bingbing came to the capital.
She was so tired and tired. The moment she saw Guan Ling, she rushed towards him.
Guan Ling stretched out her hand to signal Fan Bingbing to calm down, and then showed her the wolfberry she had soaked in the tea cup.
"To keep in good health? Just eat this?"
Fan Bingbing was very surprised. This is a great director worth billions or tens of billions, and he just eats wolfberry?
"I'm simple." Guan Ling opened the menu he requested for his assistant. Most of the foods on it are good for replenishing yang energy, but there are no supplements or health products. They are all cereals and vegetables. "For physical matters, you can't eat some technology. You have to start with simple eating and drinking to replenish kidney qi to be qualified."
"What's wrong with you? Did you get into this at such a young age?"
Fan Bingbing was a little suspicious and kept staring at Guan Ling's eyes.
Guan Ling was even embarrassed.
Liu Yifei grabbed her and refused to let her go, and there was nothing I could do about it!
Only then did Liu Yifei decide to let Guan Ling go.
"It's still up to me. I'll make up for Director Guan."
Fan Bingbing quickly understood what was going on, and took the initiative to help Guan Ling pinch his waist and give Guan Ling a small massage, which made Guan Ling feel comfortable.
A few more days passed.
Fan Bingbing transforms into a housewife and cooks really well,
Guan Ling recovered a lot of energy.
February 1, the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Many people began to return home, but Guan Ling's plane began to fly towards Hollywood.
At this time, "Even if the Wind Rises" has been released for one month, and the box office has reached 1.47 billion!
It completely created a new box office record for Chinese movies, and not only created a miracle at the box office of animated films! It even broke the previous highest box office record set by "Inception"!
Countless people in the industry are speechless about this.
Han Sanpin, Ren Zhonglun and others had long expected this matter.
For this reason, the two even met once.
Ren Zhonglun wanted Han Sanpin to make an effort and postpone Guan Ling's release for another month.
Han Sanpin didn't dare to do it anymore. This was not the period when "Avatar" put huge pressure on countless Chinese movies the year before last. If it were released another month, then those movies in the Spring Festival period would not be available.
Just in case Anne, Oscar, Berlin, etc., Guan Ling makes news again. Han Sanpin was a little afraid that other directors would come and knock him out of China Film.
And Han Sanpin believes that although this box office has the opportunity to continue to break through, it may not be too much.
It’s better to stop here and leave some room for the next movie.
But even so, the shock caused by the box office still caused the industry news media to climax one after another, and the producers were quite suffocated!
Even Han Sanpin has figured it out. Originally, in the first half of this year, whether it was "Painted Skin 2" or "Wonderful West and East", these were movies that created absolute miracles.
After Guan Ling's "Inception", his direct directing did not have a particularly high box office.
Some media even predicted that Guan Ling's personal box office may be surpassed by Ning Hao or even Wu Ershan this year, but no one expected that Guan Ling shut up the industry with "Bottom Hot Girl", and then used "Even If There Is" "The Wind Rises" gave the industry a killer performance!
Let countless people be shocked and speechless!
Therefore, all the media have been waiting at the airport early, just to get some news about Guan Ling before the New Year. It is best that Director Guan continues to scold Fang Qiu, and then goes home to have a good New Year!
Airport.
When Guan Ling and Fan Bingbing appeared, the surrounding media suddenly stood up. Everyone stood up and looked happy.
"Director Guan, it is believed on the Internet that the main purpose of Director Guan's visit is to recreate the winning route of the original "Spirited Away". Does Director Guan have this purpose?"
"After this film, will your next film be "Scarlet Witch"? Apart from this, do you have any other Hollywood blockbusters to deal with?"
"Director Guan, your box office has broken the current box office record in Chinese film history. How do you feel now?"
Various news came through, and Guan Ling took the microphone handed over by a reporter.
"I don't care too much about the illusory box office record of Chinese film history. As for whether the next film is "Scarlet Witch", if it refers to me alone, yes. If it is Motian Lingyun or Lingyun Media, please stay tuned "Along with the Gods" directed by director Chen Kaige, "Aquaman" directed by director James Wan, and the movie "Gone Girl" starring Zhang Ziyi.
By the way, I can give you a piece of news: "Extreme Career" produced by Liu Yifei is now in progress, Ning Hao's "Wild Stories" will also be officially launched after the year, and my other Chinese animated film has now been produced One-third of the total, and other animated films will also be put on the agenda. ”
Guan Ling looked at the crowd, "As for the awards, I may not win the award this time, but that's not important. As long as this movie is released around the world, it will already give me a bad breath."
< br>
……
When Guan Ling got on the plane to the United States.
In the domestic media, the news about Guan Ling just now triggered countless comments in an instant.
"Guan Lingrui commented that the box office record of China Film and Television is illusory!"
"Not to win awards, just to show Japan's cruelty and vent its bad breath!"
"Guan Ling officially announced the production process of several important movies. It is highly likely that "Scarlet Witch" will be his next released movie."
"The Hollywood hero blockbuster "Scarlet Witch" is about to be released? Fan Bingbing joins the Avengers and Marvel superheroes?!"
Various news flooded the Internet, while Guan Ling closed his eyes for a while on the plane.
Fan Bingbing turned his head and asked in Guan Ling's ear: "Director Guan, although the news about "Avengers" was finalized last time, after all, I haven't been asked to sign the contract yet, so there won't be any surprises, right?"
"They are very good. They are waiting for the box office results of "Scarlet Witch"."
Guan Ling tugged his lips slightly, he had already anticipated this.
When news came out of Avengers Alliance that they decided to cooperate, Guan Ling had already predicted this matter, so he officially announced the pressure on Marvel Studios.
But they were not in a hurry.
But Guan Ling is not worried. If "Scarlet Witch" is successful, the other party's original contract price will be discounted.
Fan Bingbing let out a long sigh of relief.
When she wanted to tell her the problem, she panicked
When it comes to watching the box office, she calms down in an instant.
Guan Guan is not good at anything else, but the box office is really good.
Thinking of this, Fan Bingbing couldn't help but cover his mouth. Although Director Guan had not had a strong impact on him these days, he had to pay attention to what was in his heart and never say it out loud.
But she was also thinking that maybe Director Guan was recharging his energy and waiting to see the results during the award ceremony, or he would have to deal with the stress himself if he didn't win the award.
Or win awards and reward yourself.
That's what she thought anyway.
She has to observe and observe the specific situation.
After a long flight, Guan Ling finally landed in Los Angeles.
Just got off the plane.
Suddenly, Zhang Ziyi appeared in front of them.
Seeing Fan Bingbing beside Guan Ling, Zhang Ziyi was slightly stunned,
Fan Bingbing glanced at Zhang Ziyi and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The two had a good relationship when they worked together before, but later they had some disagreements.
And it happened that Zhang Ziyi suffered a major blow, and Fan Bingbing's status even showed some faint signs of catching up.
But now, the two are evenly matched.
Even Fan Bingbing is slightly better.
"Director Guan, Bingbing, long time no see." Even so, Zhang Ziyi still looked happy, with white teeth exposed in his flaming red lips.
Gai Naote gave Guan Ling a big hug.
"Guan, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why do you feel that your face has turned pale? Are you tired from working too hard recently?"
As soon as these words came out, Fan Bingbing almost burst into laughter.
Although these four words and sentence segmentation are two different processes, the result is correct!
Moreover, it is not you who is doing the hard work!
Fan Bingbing suddenly wondered what might happen in the next two days.
Zhang Ziyi keenly caught Fan Bingbing's emotions, and his face was a little stiff.
An idea rose in her mind. With one look, she guessed what Fan Bingbing wanted to do, and she wanted to do it too.
Guan Ling didn't pay attention to the woman's movements, but patted Gai Naote on the shoulder, "What's the news about the Annie Award now?"
"Preliminary predictions are that we should be able to win one or two grand prizes," Gai Naote said. Suddenly he remembered something, "By the way, Lee Unkrich wants to see you."
