In the office, all the leaders held a copy in their hands and stared blankly at the script that Han Sanpin had just brought over.
Generally speaking, it is impossible for things like scripts to pass the leadership's hands.
The auditor will look at it first and then submit it for approval. Basically, there is no problem. The leader only needs to sign.
And if there is a small problem, the leader will consider it and then decide whether to pass it.
But today's script is different because it was brought over by Han Sanpin.
The screenwriter is Guan Ling.
Guan Ling, who just won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film for his animated film.
Guan Ling won three animation awards for "The Wind Rises".
But even so, several leaders in the room were hesitant.
Because Han Sanpin not only brought the script, but also brought questions to everyone.
Director Li originally just agreed to have a meeting with the leaders to discuss, but as soon as he got the script, he broke out in a cold sweat.
There are two script names, one is called "Into the Dark" and the other is called "Coco".
These two names are imprinted on the first page of the script. The first page after opening is the synopsis of the plot.
"Hungry Ghost Festival, Day of the Dead, half of July, the ghost world..."
As soon as the few words in the summary came out, Director Li felt numb.
He knew that since Han Sanpin made a request for discussion, it must be because the film involved certain plots that could not be passed.
But I really didn't expect this to be a movie like this.
As expected, the faces of the other leaders in the room were also a little ugly.
"If it weren't for Guan Ling's script, I wouldn't ask for it to be discussed at the meeting."
Han Sanpin also looked at everyone's gaze, "But even so, I won't elaborate too much. I ask all leaders to make comments after reading the specific content."
The room fell silent.
Someone started to turn over the script. There were not many pages in the script, because Guan Ling had not written thoroughly about many details.
But among the leaders, some people just looked at it casually and didn't take it seriously.
They only care about their own one-third of an acre of land, and they hope that Guan Ling will not cause trouble and only increase their workload.
As for more content and less content, it is not that important to them.
But soon, some people began to sit upright.
In the script "Into the Dark", there are many Chinese customs, such as the Bon Festival and the placing of lotus lanterns. People use colored paper to make lotus flowers, with eggplant, watermelon or pumpkin as the base underneath, and inserts in the middle. Light a candle on the water and let it drift down naturally. Lotus lanterns are placed in Jishuitan and Paozi River to ward off ghosts.
Someone is very familiar with this scene, because some elderly people in the family believe this.
This is indeed one of the customs in the capital. Old BJs, especially the older ones, all remember this.
It also involves many festival customs. When a leader from Guangxi saw the important festival foods involved, such as chicken, glutinous rice cakes, red eggs, powdered bait, banana leaf glutinous rice cakes, dumplings, melons and fruits, he suddenly thought of the ones at home. customs.
At least in the script, there is no exaggeration or feudal superstition.
Most of what is written actually exists.
This made some people at the scene no longer wear colored glasses, but began to watch the plot involuntarily.
"The opposite of life is not death, but forgetfulness."
"The emotional core of memory and forgetfulness overflows the paper under the storyline of family, music, dreams and adventure."
"When you are forgotten by the living, you die again."
Some leaders looked at the content of the plot and suddenly felt that the ghosts and other things written in it were not scary at all.
Guan Ling used a method that is rarely seen by everyone to build a relatively warm world for ghosts. There is no violence and no harm. It just involves villains that children can understand.
More than half an hour passed,
Only then did a leader speak up: "The setting is very ingenious. Guan Ling's level of creating a different world is self-evident, and his sensational skills are unmatched. If this movie is really made, I'm afraid it will be better than " Even if there is a strong wind" is even more fascinating."
"The problem still lies in the simplest setting issue. Must ghosts and Ghost Festival be used? Must a ghost world be set? If a world must be set, why not the memory world? Why not the heaven world?"
< br>
A leader asked,
In his opinion, as long as Guan Ling changes a setting, there is no need to discuss this issue at all.
"Dear leaders, what we want to do is to export culture. China has these cultures and has always had these cultures. Why do we have to sacrifice the near for the far and change the settings?"
Han Sanpin looked at everyone and said in a low voice, "I went to check it out. The year before last, the Hungry Ghost Festival Hipster Bon Festival declared by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. We really don't need to do it. It’s difficult to see Guan Ling from this angle, because it only makes us suspicious.”
If it were anyone else, they would definitely not dare to say this.
However, China Film Group determines the external publicity work of Chinese culture. When faced with minor problems with leadership, Han Sanpin still argued hard.
This time the leader was silent.
After a moment, Director Li took the lead in nodding.
"There are some things that we can't take superficially. I think this script will work. What's important for us is the story. This story is warm and touching. We shouldn't worry too much about the external form."
"Good culture can break through cultural barriers. The idea of turning death into an adventure is a good idea for the development of Chinese animation. The world is a dangerous world now, and truth, goodness and beauty are a good idea to achieve great harmony and unite. With the help of China It is important for culture to convey this kind of imagination of truth, goodness and beauty.”
A leader also knocked on the table. Although he didn't say whether it was okay or not, his meaning was very obvious.
"I agree."
"I agree too."
Finally, it was given to the leader who raised the question in the first place. He reluctantly said: "I can pass this movie. But I heard that he has other requirements?"
"Yes, Guan Ling asked us to hold a meeting to discuss and release a few quotas for animated films every year. As long as it is a good animation, there should not be too many places. He also gave an example, "The Legend of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" ”, saying that since we can allow martial arts to exist, there is no need to impose too many restrictions on martial arts animations. ”
"He wants to force us to reform our animation."
One leader smiled and said, "It's very ambitious."
"I think it's reasonable. Otherwise, if "Into the Dark" can pass the review, I'm afraid it won't be able to satisfy the public's anger." Han Sanpin said.
"We have already thought about how we will explain the next step," someone smiled, "but now that we have released this one, there is no harm in relaxing the limits a little on other content."
The leader obviously didn't want to discuss this topic too much. Except for Guan Ling who could join the meeting, other people couldn't get it in front of them at all, so this relaxation of the limit was essentially just a gimmick.
Maybe it will also promote the rapid development of animated films.
The meeting discussion ended and the script was unanimously approved.
And since Han Sanpin explained a few words, no leader has stopped him.
On that day, an announcement was suddenly made. "Provinces...
In order to give full play to the demonstration and driving role of excellent TV, film and cartoons and prosper domestic animation creation and production, the radio and television administrative department has been upgraded and expert reviews have been organized to determine that the restrictions on animation will be relaxed to a certain extent in the future. Specific examples include Guan Ling's new animated movie script "Ming" "In the Underworld". It is hoped that animation producers will adhere to the correct orientation and value guidance, focus on the main theme, promote the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and have strong ideological and artistic qualities.
Notice is hereby given. ”
Generally speaking, people don’t pay too much attention to announcements.
However, because Guan Ling had just won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film, the popularity was already very high. However, after someone saw Ling's name in this announcement, it immediately caused a frenzy in the industry!
"What's going on?"
"What does it mean to relax restrictions to a certain extent?"
"Am I the only one paying attention? Guan Ling already has a new animated movie script?"
"A fast man, he is really a fast man! Over there he won an Oscar, and here he has started to have new movies. Director Guan, please continue like this and never retire!"
"I really admire Director Guan, he is a master of time management."
"Isn't "Scarlet Witch" almost finished? Is it time to start animation after returning from the United States?"
"Animation is not interesting. I still like director Guan to shoot live-action movies, preferably blockbusters."
"That's about it. With the release of "Scarlet Witch", Director Guan will most likely not make animated movies, right? He can leave the animated movies to the team and shoot some new ones himself."
"Ip Man 3" is being filmed, "Hot Pot Heroes" is about to be released, "Along with the Gods" is also about to be released, "The Legend of Swordsman" has now started shooting, Ning Hao is currently filming the "Wild Story", and Liu Yifei is also going I have produced a new movie. Speaking of these big domestic directors, they really have nothing to do. They won’t keep making animated films, right?”
Many people are discussing on the Internet, but everyone is aware of a problem, that is, there is indeed no news about what Guan Ling will film next.
……
Among the large villas.
While Liu Yifei was filming and producing movies, she saw the news that Guan Ling won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
I was extremely excited for a moment.
When I got home, I happened to catch up with Liu's mother who had not gone out to play mahjong, so the two of them chatted for a while from the house.
"At this point, you have to make a decision."
Liu's mother whispered, "My suggestion is to have a child. You are old enough, and you have to be a producer recently, so you can take a year off and keep it confidential."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu's mother added, "Actually, it doesn't matter whether we do this confidentiality work or not."
Liu Yifei fell into silence.
Mother Liu added: "I was playing mahjong with others a few days ago and learned a piece of news. Now a man named Zhang Tianai is filming a new TV series of Lingyun Media. It seems to be called "Prince Concubine's Promotion". I searched this The actress has a very dashing appearance. Although she is not young, she is indeed pretty.
There are some things I can't do without saying it. If such actresses have the opportunity to throw themselves on Guan Ling's bed, they will never give up the slightest possibility.
But now you are producing in the country, he goes abroad to receive awards, and then he has to direct a new movie in the United States. Can he not feel uncomfortable? ”
In Mother Liu's eyes, it is impossible for a man not to want to share the great harmony of life together.
"So, my suggestion is that you go there recently. I read on the Internet that he has no new movies recently. Either make another movie and let him film it for you, and the two of you can stay together for a while, or go and take care of a child this time. Come back. Anyway, it is best to achieve one, and the child really needs to be born.”
There was a hint of shock deep in Mother Liu's eyes, "It's actually quite scary. Guan Ling is too strong and has almost no shortcomings. I admit that I underestimated him."
This time the animated film won three awards, which caused a great mental impact on Liu's mother.
Liu Yifei agreed and nodded.
……
Liu Yifei went to the crew for a long time and gave full control over the shooting content to the director,
Shu Chang looked at Liu Yifei, "You want to go out?"
"Director Guan Da won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film. I will definitely go to celebrate." Liu Yifei lowered her head and said shyly.
"Director Guan invited you?"
After saying this, Shu Chang clearly felt that something was wrong with Liu Yifei's mood.
I thought to myself, scumbag, should Fei Fei take the initiative on this matter?
Liu Yifei didn't answer, but continued to take the plane, and then embarked on the journey to Hollywood.
In the room, Guan Ling and Fan Bingbing had just finished discussing acting skills and then decided to take a rest.
After being with Amber a few times, Guan Ling finally felt the excellence of learning foreign languages. Even when he was with Fan Bingbing again, he felt a little emotionless.
Maybe he and Fan Bingbing have been together for a long time,
From the United States to Germany, and then from Germany to the United States, there was Zhang Ziyi playing wingman in between.
Guan Ling didn't feel anything anymore.
Thinking about when he would return to China, Guan Ling looked through the text messages he received from domestic stars after he won the award.
There were too many text messages, and Guan Ling was too lazy to read them. When he really had some free time, he clicked through them. And he won't reply, he can't come back at all.
Yang Mi sent several text messages, "My brother is so strong, but it's a pity that I can't accompany him to receive the award.
Hey, do you prefer people to call you brother or husband?
I will work hard and work hard, and I will go to Hollywood to be with you. ”
Guan Ling smiled and looked again. Zhang Tianai, Liu Yan, Mu Tingting and others all sent text messages,
But only Liu Yifei is not there.
Guan Ling made a call, but it showed that the other party was shutting down his phone.
Guan Ling was a little suspicious, so when he called again, his phone was still turned off.
On this day, Guan Ling was watching the last scene of "Scarlet Witch" among the crew, and then returned to the hotel.
Fan Bingbing came to ask for advice on acting, but Guan Ling refused. He felt that he had entered the time of a sage and did not want to travel around for days.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Guan Ling opened the doorbell with some curiosity and saw Liu Yifei's face appearing in front of his door.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Director Guan Da, are you surprised or surprised?"
Guan Ling's previous sage time was shattered.
Liu Yifei smiled and said: "Is it convenient for me to go in?"
"Of course!" Guan Ling smiled, "I miss you very much."
Then Guan Ling held Liu Yifei and walked into the house. Liu Yifei lay shyly in Guan Ling's arms.
He whispered in his heart.
"I have traveled thousands of miles in vain, but there is no one else in the house." (End of Chapter)
