Chapter 503: This fellow is so hot and round when he is ogling me in front of my husband!
"Boy, your roommate is a genius!"
"Uncharted" filming location.
Seeing the live replay in the media, Cheng Long was slightly surprised.
I saw him shaking his duangduang hair and sighing slightly.
Zhu Yawen narrowed his eyes and joked: "Brother, our relationship has changed a long time ago. We are no longer roommates, but foster fathers."
"We are each other's adoptive fathers?" Cheng Long teased Zhu Yawen.
"How dare you?" Zhu Yawen was startled. Now, even if he was teasing Guan Ling, he would not dare to say the word "mutual". He could only respond with a smile, "No, he is my father. ”
After saying this, Cheng Long laughed so hard that he almost burst into tears.
Then he fell into silence.
After a moment, he continued: "That's right. If it weren't for flattering you, he would have too many people to choose from."
Zhu Yawen touched his nose and was speechless for a moment.
Turning, he looked at the live broadcast again. Guan Ling won the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature, and the winning announcement was like a declaration of war, sweeping the United States.
In the comments, some people said that Guan has an aura of violence,
Some people say that Guan is patriotic,
Zhu Yawen didn't take it seriously. People have many sides, and Guan Ling is the most multifaceted talent he has ever seen!
It can even be said to be comprehensive.
Known as Almighty Dad!
No matter what such a person does, it will be difficult to cause too much emotional disturbance.
He just wanted to film "Uncharted" well, at least not to embarrass his father.
……
An Annie Award acceptance speech caused a huge sensation in the industry!
All media are involved. Even during the Chinese New Year, the Internet is full of movie information about Guan Ling. "The Wind Rises" is like a sharp thorn, piercing the hearts of Japanese movie fans.
Similarly, with a connection that almost breaks the dimensional wall, it has created dreamy linkages with the previous Best Animated Feature Film awarded by the Annie Awards!
However, Guan Ling was busy with work and was about to rush to the next scene.
Because the Berlin Film Festival is about to start.
……
Before leaving, Guan Ling finally met Li Angkrich.
The corner coffee shop.
Leonkrich ordered two cups of cappuccino, his eyebrows lowered,
"You said you wanted to see me, but I had to catch a plane and you just showed up. This is not your attitude of wanting to see me."
Guan Ling won the Annie Award, he was very high-spirited and his words were quite domineering.
"Face."
Li Unkrich was neither humble nor arrogant, but he did not say anything bad. He only slightly expressed some dissatisfaction with Guan Ling's attitude, "I helped you before, and the information has been given to Gai Naote, and I didn't see you asking for it." Come meet me.”
"I forgot." Guan Ling said.
Lee Unkrich couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
Guan Ling looked a little innocent. He really forgot that he and Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi went to Wushan every day these days.
His head was so big that he had two heads and three heads.
Even Fan and Zhang have six heads and eight heads.
I don’t know what adjective to use to describe it. I can only say that it is quite confusing.
In addition, I am also busy with interviews, promotions, film sales, award ceremonies, etc.
In fact, he had completely forgotten about Leonkrich.
And "The Wind Rises" lived up to expectations. At the Annie Awards alone, the royalties sold were as high as US$27.9 million.
This is still a discounted price, which is quite a return.
"I resigned from Pixar." Leonkrich said with thunderous news. "Pixar Animation Studios will make an official announcement soon."
"What's the reason?"
Guan Ling raised his head in shock and looked at Li Angkrich,
Then he pointed at himself.
"Me?"
"Because you helped me contact a director before?"
In Guan Ling's heart, if it weren't for this, it would be difficult for the other party to find him.
"You're not that proud."
Li Unkrich glanced at Guan Ling and sneered, "At least in my opinion, you don't have such big resources."
Guan Ling was even more confused when he said this. It has nothing to do with me. Why are you looking for me?
The next moment, Lee Unkrich explained to himself, "I can't say more about the specific things. There is a confidentiality agreement. But there is a high probability that you can think of it as a topic like great achievements and shocking masters."
Guan Ling narrowed his eyes.
The words "the other party's skill is so great that it shocks the master" are enough to explain all the problems.
Because there are five generals in the entire Pixar Animation Studio. The number one character Lasseter is a pioneer of 3D animation and has reached the age of retirement. The number two character Stanciu is a screenwriter and opinion master, firmly standing behind Lasseter. This side.
The other two tigers are not a threat either.
Only Lee Unkrich, a young director, is the most threatening variable.
In the adult world, there is always a lot of blood and swords. In Guan Ling's current Lingyun Media, except for professional executives, anyone who cares about him is one of his own.
It's about security.
And obviously, what Lee Unkrich brings to some people is not a sense of security.
In fact, in his previous life, Lee Unkrich left Pixar Animation Studio when he was very young, but according to Guan Ling's impression at that time, he had already directed "Coco" and truly achieved the level of success.
It was about five years after the previous life.
Even when I leave, I cannot go to other companies and can only spend time with my family at home.
The restrictions are sufficient.
Now, it seems that the other party is not strong enough to threaten the other party, but the other party's fangs are already showing.
To deal with one person, it may take several years.
Guan Ling couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart.
All of this had been foreshadowed a long time ago.
"What do you mean?"
"They have seen through my ambition, and I want power." Leon Krich looked at Guan Ling, "Guan, I saw the outline of the animation scripts you registered in Hollywood. I think you are also an ambitious person, but You are more than a director.
Therefore, I hope that Motian Lingyun will be handed over to me, or Motian Lingyun’s animation studio, to me, and I will use Disney’s previous resources to connect us with the Big Six for cooperation and even common development.
Then, if you need it, I will make many mature animated movies for you.
Make us money. ”
The other party's words hit Guan Ling's ears without concealment. It's like a calling.
Guan Ling said: "Then how much power do you want?"
"I want the animation department, I'll make a decision." Li Unkrich raised the price to the sky and waited for Guan Ling to pay back the money.
Hearing this, Guan Ling was silent for a while.
After a moment, he just nodded.
"Okay."
Is Leonkrich confused?
What's going on?
Is this good?
I haven’t said the lines I’ve prepared yet? !
Guan Ling patted Li Unkrich on the shoulder and added, "Feotian Lingyun will split off the Ferris Animation Studio for you. From then on, I will give you real power. In the entire animation, everything will be decided by you." Decision.”
He looked into Li Unkrich's eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"Except me, of course."
Then, he told Li Unkrich, "The director I contacted you last time was working on the animation "Frozen." You go ahead and take over. I only provide the script and all the details, and you have full control over them. If you need to change it, we can discuss it.”
Leonkrich's head was a little dazed at this time.
I didn't sign the contract? Are you assigning work tasks to me?
……
After the meeting between Guan Ling and Li Unkrich, he arranged for the legal affairs of the United States and China to study the specific contract issues, and informed Guyot that he would be relieved of a burden, but his salary would not be reduced.
Gai Nao Te's entire body burst into tears.
The matter was settled.
Then he got on a plane and flew to Berlin.
At this Berlin Film Festival, "The Wind Rises" was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Berlin Film Festival.
Also shortlisted for the main competition is "White Deer Plain" by domestic director Wang Quan'an.
Although Zhang Yimou's "Thirteen Hairpins" also participated in the Berlin Film Festival, it was not shortlisted for the main competition because it had already been released in the United States. Zhang Yimou didn't care much about it, so it was in the screening section, mainly for the purpose of selling piece.
The biggest idea is to only participate in exhibitions and not participate in competitions, and do a good job in publicity and promotion to promote overseas distribution.
In fact, the Berlin Film Festival has a rule, that is, the requirements for international premieres, that is, the films shortlisted for the main competition at the Berlin Film Festival must be films that have only been released in the country. Of course, the time ends before the final nomination.
"The Thirteen Hairpins" missed the qualification to be shortlisted for the main competition because it was released in the United States on December 23, before the final nomination.
But in fact, this rule also depends on the mood of the jury. If they are willing, they can get Zhang Yimou back at any time.
But Zhang Yimou has no obsession with the Golden Bear Award. His main purpose is to sell films, so the matter will be put on hold for the time being.
But for many movie fans in China, this has to be said to be a pity.
But those who are familiar with the situation certainly know that the Berlin Film Festival has become much less popular than Cannes and Venice in recent years. Perhaps because it is approaching the Oscars, the two parties are slightly at odds with each other.
The films that have participated in the main competition in recent years have fallen far behind in both the quality of their works and the popularity of their lineups.
The organizers of the film festival have long understood the secret and are no longer obsessed with competing for the premiere of masterpieces from other film festivals. Instead, they have more firmly adhered to their own ideas of youth and politics and simply made the film festival younger and more youthful. Be more independent and implement your own newcomer strategy and market strategy more resolutely.
The film festival may have received less attention, but it may be more meaningful to the development of future films.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou's non-participation in the award is also a kind of interest exchange to increase attention, but does not distinguish between pork and pork, and gives Berlin a good cause.
Zhang Yimou's international status can still attract some film producers.
For the Berlin Film Festival, this can be said to be an ostrich mentality! He put himself to death and lived again, but he was very effective.
It's just that the artistic content is still lacking.
For example, last year the Iranian film "The Farewell" dominated the competition and won three awards. This was due to the lack of competitiveness of other participating films.
Thinking about the fact that in recent years people have often complained about the lack of stars at the Berlin Film Festival and the lack of entertainment in the topics, and even used the Oscars to give themselves gold, I am afraid that "newcomers are coming out in large numbers" has really become a kind of irony.
But for young talents, Berlin is absolutely attractive!
The best film at last year's Berlin Film Festival, "Nader and Westminster: A Separation," has now become the most powerful contender for the Oscar foreign language film. This also seems to show that although Berlin is declining, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It is also one of the most admired people in the film festival.
In this year's main competition unit, among the shortlisted films, there are also too many unfamiliar names.
For example, Inegal director Alan Guems ("Today"), Danish director Nicolai Axel ("Royal Affair"), Swiss emerging female director Ursula Meyer ("Sister") , Greek director Sporos Staslopoulos ("Man "Deora"), Portuguese director Miguel Gomez ("Taboo"), Indonesian director Edwin ("Postcards from the Zoo"), French director Frédéric Vieux ("Coming Home"), Canada Director Kim-Nigeye ("Rebel") and more.
Among all the films exhibited in the main competition section, works by young directors account for the majority.
The name of this young director certainly includes Guan Ling.
But no matter for competitors or for the Berlin Film Festival, this name can no longer be treated equally with others!
As a director who has never been involved in Berlin, the name Guan has become famous very early on.
How could the Berlin Film Festival ignore Zhang Yimou's existence in China? It’s just that I have never had the opportunity to cooperate before.
Thousands of miles high in the sky, Guan Ling was flying to Germany.
I also saw various news reports on the portal!
"Preview of the 62nd Berlin Film Festival, can Chinese films win the Golden Bear again?"
"The 62nd Berlin Film Festival opens, and 10 Chinese films shortlisted will be screened!"
"Guan Ling's animated film "The Wind Rises" and Wang Quan'an's new film "White Deer Plain" were shortlisted for Berlin's main competition and participated in the competition for the Golden Bear Award, making up for the regret that there were no Chinese films shortlisted for the competition at the Berlin Film Festival last year..."
"Zhang Yimou, Tsui Hark, and Hou Hsiao-hsien each went to Berlin. The three major directors who collaborated with Guan Ling will gather on the red carpet with Guan Ling?!"
"Zhang Yuqi, Ni Ni, Gui Lunmei, Huo Siyan and others landed in Berlin, and Chinese actresses are about to start their journey of competing for fame and beauty!"
"A brief discussion of this Berlin Film Festival. Big-name judges are mixed with young directors. Among the 18 films competing in the main competition unit, even senior movie fans may not recognize more than half of the directors. Except for the opening ceremony film "Goodbye, My Queen" Apart from director Benoit Jacques, the only directors shortlisted for the main competition are Italy and Italy. Director Li and the Taviani brothers who are over eighty years old can be called masters. Perhaps Guan can also be remembered by many people, while the others are all newcomers or middle-aged directors who are making progress, depending on their age. In terms of composition, directors born in the 1960s have become the backbone of Berlin’s main competition unit..."
Just landed in Berlin,
The entourage arranged by the chairman of the Berlin Film Festival came to greet Guan Ling in person. Fan Bingbing was also accompanying him at this time. When the other party saw Fan Bingbing, he was startled, and then he saw Zhang Ziyi standing behind Guan Ling. The smile on his face couldn't stop.
There are many Chinese actresses, but only a few can be remembered.
As a staff member of the film festival, he naturally knew the faces of Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi.
When Guan came, he didn't expect to bring two Chinese superstars to them.
It’s really enough to give Berlin face!
He led Guan Ling all the way to the hotel where he was staying.
As soon as Guan Ling entered the lobby, the surrounding media began to shoot wildly.
After entering, Guan Ling saw Wang Quan'an.
The other party is extremely smart and bright.
"Director Guan." Wang Quan'an stretched out his palm. Guan Ling hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand to shake it.
At the moment of hesitation, he was worried whether the other party would go to the red light district in Germany or wash his hands...
I'll definitely have to wash myself off later.
Guan Ling got rid of this idea, but saw Zhang Yuqi next to Wang Quan'an, dressed in gorgeous clothes, his eyes turned into crescent moons, and he stretched out his palm to greet Guan Ling.
"Director Guan, I am Yu Qi, from Dezhou, Shandong Province."
Her voice was tight, as if she had coughed up phlegm, "We are fellow villagers. If we are all one family in Dezhou, I must be Guan Daoqian's sister."
The other party didn't care at all whether he was familiar with her or not, and winked at him in front of Wang Quan'an.
Guan Ling even thought that if Wang Quan'an wasn't here, she might come over and lick her...
Licking in a physical sense.
