"You have arranged everything for others, can you arrange it for me?"
When Guan Ling hung up the phone, Liu Yifei raised her head and looked at Guan Ling.
"Of course."
Guan Ling held up Liu Yifei's little face and said, "You can arrange it however you want."
To be honest, since being taught a lesson by her mother many times, Liu Yifei feels that her psychology has become very strong. Even now, when she hears Guan Ling's straightforward words, her expression does not change at all.
It seems the verbal punch wasn't enough.
"Do you expect the movie "Aquaman" to have a high box office?"
Liu Yifei asked him, still a little curious about superhero movies.
"It shouldn't be too bad. The main reason is that I expect this movie to reap global box office success," Guan Ling said.
"Speaking of which, I really don't know if Chinese-language movies can reap global box office revenue." Liu Yifei said somewhat imaginatively, "When will I make a Chinese-language super blockbuster that can also reap global box office revenue?"
Liu Yifei mentioned it casually, but Guan Ling took it seriously and said with a smile, "There will be."
"I'm looking forward to it." Liu Yifei shook her head up and down.
"Me too."
Guan Ling stroked the top of Liu Yifei's head.
"Do you know that fantasy novels and fairy tale novels are very popular in our country now?" Guan Ling asked suddenly, but kept pressing his hand on Liu Yifei's head. Immortality.”
"What do you mean? This seems to be a poem by Li Bai. I feel like I have heard it before."
Liu Yifei raised her head to give her girlfriend a perspective, her eyes were very lively.
"What a benefit... Siha, she is such a good girl who loves to read," Guan Ling couldn't help shaking her head in praise and extended her thumb, "I mean you reminded me that if our Chinese-language films want to be global To harvest the box office, some things need to be planned early.”
Liu Yifei's eyes were still a little confused.
But at this moment, Guan Ling is like a fountain of literary thoughts, his brain is responsible for the literary thoughts, and other places are responsible for the springs.
In the previous life, starting around 2013, Chinese online literature began to quickly go overseas. It first became popular in Southeast Asia, and then gradually expanded in scale. With the help of overseas translation websites, Chinese online literature was spread to European and American countries in a faster and more convenient way, and entered the English-speaking world.
And achieved a revenue scale output value of more than 5 billion,
This seems very low, not even as high as one of Guan Ling's movies at the box office, but it continues to grow at a growth rate of about 8%.
But the important thing is that even in the time period that Guan Ling traveled through in his previous life, the radiation has basically covered the whole world. The most popular places are Southeast Asia, South Africa and North America. It has a considerable influence and basically occupies the local novel-related lists. First place.
And just like some of the popular film and television works in China, such as "Celebrating More Than Years", "Jiang Ye", "Swallowing the Stars" and other fantasy fairy tales, they have also continued to work overseas and achieved strong results.
But now is different from the previous life.
Guan Ling has Hollywood resources.
"Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch" have been filmed. Guan Ling can adapt China's most popular novels into movies and then test the waters overseas.
In terms of plot, Guan Ling would not think that the plot of any Chinese work would be inferior to overseas works. In terms of the grandeur of the scene, Guan Ling believes that overseas works are not competitive.
How has Optimus Prime changed? No matter how powerful your superhero is, can you still be as shocked as I was when I pulled the coffin from the Nine Dragons? !
A single Dao Imperial Soldier can completely suppress them into silence.
But the problem lies in the foreshadowing. This matter needs to be planned slowly, but it must be planned. And with Guan Ling's current resources in Hollywood, he can just do it for fun first. Once successful, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.
Moreover, China has too many IPs. Guan Ling has already obtained IPs such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Three Body" before.
Now that he has been involved in the filming of movies such as "Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch", Guan Ling feels that there are some things that he can start to take action on.
With the current level of the Hollywood film industry, "The Three-Body Problem" can be filmed.
Guan Ling has watched the "Three-Body" TV series shot by Tencent Video in his previous life, and thinks it is better than the one shot by Netflix, which is enough to prove that as long as Lao Kong is not used as the screenwriter, the Chinese can produce good works.
Thinking of this, Guan Ling couldn't help but continue to pat Liu Yifei's head.
"You are awesome. If it weren't for you, I would have almost forgotten these works."
"Ahem, don't shoot me."
Liu Yifei glared at Guan Ling.
After a while, Liu Yifei got tired, and Guan Ling also finished thinking.
After a while, perhaps because Guan Ling's talent was so dazzling, Liu Yifei exclaimed and fell down.
……
In March, the weather in the United States is still very cold.
But Liu Yifei felt that she was very hot, everywhere.
She was also sweating a lot, just like her usual workouts.
Liu Yifei didn't care anyway, and was still chatting with Guan Ling about the recent domestic gossip,
During this period, the most popular celebrities in China are not Yang Mi or Liu Sisi. Although these two people became popular last year with their many film and television works and "Bu Bu Jing Xin".
But it was overwhelmed by the follow-up popularity of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Since March, many TV stations have collectively screened "The Legend of Zhen Huan", making Sun the most-watched actress for a time, triggering collective praise from the industry.
Secondly, Tang Wei's return to China also shocked everyone.
After being soft-blocked before, because of filming "The Crucible" in South Korea, Tang Wei directly caused a major reform of the Korean system. After continuing to shoot his second movie "Late Autumn" in South Korea this year, he also announced his official return to the Chinese entertainment industry. The drama has also been introduced to the mainland and will be released in China on March 23.
Basically, it was announced that nothing happened to Tang Wei.
It's just that her status is still very high at this time, which is different from her previous life.
Considered one of the hottest female stars.
After all, there are too few actresses who can blow up South Korea.
Then there is Gu Lina Zha, who became popular because of "The Beginning" and has taken on a lot of work this year.
Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi accompanied Guan Ling in Hollywood and Germany, and the popularity was not bad.
Zhou Xun won most of the Best Actress awards. Although her starring role in "The Magician" suffered a setback during the Lunar New Year, she was still nominated for the Best Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards. She also began to settle down and took the initiative to direct micro-movies. Currently, she is the first The micro-movie "Five Elements Conquering Demons" has been released, starring Liang Chaowei, and the second part is being planned.
But judging from her intentions, she still wants to take on literary films recently.
She also received invitations to work in Hollywood science fiction movies. Although she seemed to be hiding among the hottest actresses, it was more like she was actively accumulating.
The upcoming release of "Chun Jiao and Zhiming" does have some buzz, but Yang Mi is no longer in this drama, and Huang Xiaoming and Xu Zheng have guest appearances.
Liu Yifei spoke in a circle with her fingers, and Guan Ling probably understood it.
"You mean, your fever has dropped?"
"I don't really care about the heat, I just want a doll."
I really can’t get along with my children.
Guan Ling smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you."
Liu Yifei suddenly said, "By the way, someone handed me a script in the past two days. It was directed by Zhao Linshan and asked me to make a costume epic blockbuster. Do you think I should accept it? The opponent is Zhou Runfa."
"What play?"
Guan Ling asked,
""Tongque Terrace"," Liu Yifei said, "I read the script and the scale is a little bit small."
"Is it as big as "Taken"?"
"It's nothing like "Hurricane Rescue", it's all glass, you can't see anything, it's just you who see it all." Liu Yifei said, "But this drama will most likely show off the shoulders, wear a tube top, etc. I want to ask your opinion about the naked back.”
"Wearing a tube top? Do you want fruit?" Guan Ling frowned and already remembered the content of this movie. This movie has caused a lot of controversy for Liu Yifei. There seems to be a piece of white buttocks in the plot. , even Liu Yifei was called a beautiful girl turned into a bathing girl by some media.
Some people say that this movie is too racy.
And in the end, the box office lost a lot of money, and it ended up with a loss of 50 million yuan.
Guan Ling said coldly,
"No, if you really want to film a love movie, I will put it on the schedule."
“But production still has to be done.”
"Don't delay. I will be a supervisor on "Extreme Job" when the time comes. Comedies don't take too long to shoot, and the new movie only has a few actors, so it won't take too long."
"What about the script? When can you show it to me?" Seeing that the business was done, the two started chatting about other business.
"I have written it for you a long time ago."
Guan Ling called his assistant, and not long after, a script was sent to Guan Ling's computer, and then Guan Ling sent it to Liu Yifei,
Liu Yifei looked at the words above and fell into deep thought.
"Time Traveler"!
This is a movie that was released in the UK in its previous life. The global box office was probably less than 100 million US dollars, but the male and female protagonists were not very popular.
There is still a gap between Liu Yifei's current global popularity.
This is a love movie, but also a fantasy movie. It has a Douban score of 8.8 and is recognized as a movie that makes many people cry to death.
At first, people would think that this is a time-travel work with a hint of science fiction,
Then people will find out that this is a comedy feature film with super powers,
As I continued watching, I realized it was a romance film, and later I discovered it was an ethics film!
If every line in the film were omitted, it would be a completely incomprehensible film.
But in essence, this movie is a healing film full of warmth.
Liu Yifei sat on Guan Ling and began to look at it carefully.
Guan Ling put his arms around Liu Yifei's slender waist and slowly helped rub her body.
After watching for a while, Liu Yifei's eyes became moist. She turned to look at Guan Ling, her eyes full of surprise.
"If you had this superpower, would you do this?"
"Of course."
Guan Ling nodded.
If Guan Ling traveled through time, he would certainly be willing to do a lot of things to prevent Liu Yifei from crying.
But he also doesn’t want others to cry, such as Bingbing, Mimi, Sisi, Tingting...
Of course they insisted on crying, and there was nothing Guan Ling could do.
Liu Yifei kissed Guan Ling's face like a chicken pecking at rice, and was very satisfied with Guan Ling's answer.
Then there was a passionate scene in the script, and Liu Yifei blushed and looked at Guan Ling,
"This is much larger than "Tongque Terrace"."
"We won't let anyone else film this part. We will wear the clothes in the drama and I will film it myself." Guan Ling said.
Liu Yifei instantly blushed, "What are you talking about! I don't dare. If you lose your phone, I will be finished."
Guan Ling just teased her and didn't say anything else.
When this drama was released in the past life, a lot of cuts were made. It is said that all the children who were born during the original filming were filmed.
Guan Ling's role was originally reserved for Liu Yifei, and since this film was going to be filmed, the male lead Guan Ling was not ready to give it to anyone else, so it was normal to add a little drama in it.
Just right for public and private use.
Appreciate your own masterpiece.
Speaking of which, the camera is a public instrument, used by Guan Ling for his own personal use, and Guan Ling is also a public instrument, used by Liu Yifei for his personal use, so the two of them are evenly matched.
By the time she saw the end, Liu Yifei couldn't stop crying anymore.
"This script is really good."
"Don't believe their epic blockbusters, they are all too bad." Guan Ling said, "Sun Honglei filmed the movie "Warring States" last year, and it hasn't slowed down yet. He followed Ning Hao to shoot "Wild Stories" two days ago. 》, I saw Jingtian and sent me a text message saying that I was almost scared to death. ”
Liu Yifei nodded, "Then I'll reject it later."
"Speaking of which, we are quite destined."
Liu Yifei said, "When you were filming for the first time, we had just gotten to know each other. You filmed "Uninvited Guests", and I was not familiar with you before. At that time, it was your first time to be an actor, both as an actor and as a director. , and won the Golden Horse Award for Supporting Actor, right?”
"Yes." Guan Ling said, "I haven't filmed for a long time."
"You have made guest appearances before, but you have never been a starring role. Would you be unhappy if you were asked to play this role?"
"Of course not." Guan Ling said, "I am very happy, and you may not know it until now. The reason why I made my first movie is inseparable from the fact that you lent me money at the time."
"Ah?" Liu Yifei was really confused now.
Guan Ling said: "Without your start-up capital, I can't be a director."
"How much is that? Don't coax me."
"Really." Guan Ling looked sincere.
"Then I'm still your major shareholder?" Liu Yifei really believed it now.
Guan Ling held Liu Yifei in his hands and kept nodding his head up and down, "Yes, you can do it."
……
In life, the most taboo thing is to talk about the simple and the deep, so Guan Ling's words are very sincere and profound, and he truly achieves the deep talking.
I communicated with Liu Yifei about "Time Traveler" for a long time, and finally convinced her,
Both were very excited.
Trembling with excitement.
……
The promotion of "Hot Pot Hero" has become the first movie theater expected to be a hit in March. Many theaters believe that this movie can make them half full.
That's almost enough.
After all, I was really overfed by Director Guan during the Lunar New Year period.
After Guan Ling discussed the script issues with Liu Yifei, he called Fang Ping.
“Old Fang, let’s go back and ask Qidian Chinese website if it will be sold?”
"Is the boss going to build a whole industry chain?" Fang Ping said, "I will go back and ask, but there is a high probability that I will not be able to capture those Internet giants."
"Then let's strike first," Guan Ling thought for a while, and then said, "Four to five billion dollars is acceptable. At worst, we can make a few more blockbuster movies. At the worst, we can get the copyrights of the most popular film and television works first. Got it.”
"Our marketing department has been tracking the copyright market." Fang Ping was shocked when he heard Guan Ling's words and reported, "We just need to wait for Director Guan's signature to make the decision."
"Well done."
Guan Ling praised Fang Ping, and when Fang Ping hung up the phone, sweat was pouring from his forehead.
Four to five billion U.S. dollars is acceptable, and at worst, we can make a few more blockbuster movies.
Do you listen to what others say?
……
After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling thought about it again.
If we really want to acquire Qidian Chinese Network, it is estimated that it will cost at least several billion, which is a lot of money, and Lingyun Media has not yet been listed.
Although Guan Ling must have a net worth of tens of billions, he is indeed a bit stressed.
It is necessary to put the IPO on the agenda.
It was planned to be released after "Inception", but because the Japanese said that Guan Ling plagiarized, the schedule could only be temporarily suspended.
Now "The Wind Rises" has broken China's highest box office record, and with the release of "Aquaman" and "Scarlet Witch" movies, preparations can be made for listing.
This will be of great help to future capital arrangements.
Guan Ling notified Fang Ping and informed the company executives of the general information, asking the company to release the 2012 film list, hoping to add fire to the not-so-lively entertainment industry.
"Okay."
Four days before the release of "Hot Pot Hero", on March 12, Lingyun Media released the overall list of Lingyun and Ferris Lingyun's 2012 major dramas, causing a huge wave in the originally calm movie market.
Except for "Hot Pot Hero", the remaining movies gave people a huge spiritual shock.
Blockbuster film list content:
"Along with the Gods", starring Huang Xiaoming, Huang Bo, Zhang Shi and Zhao Xiaodao, has been completed and is expected to be released in the summer.
"Gone Girl," starring Mark Wahlberg and Zhang Ziyi, has been completed and the release date is to be determined.
"Aquaman," starring Momoa and Amber, has been completed and is expected to be released in April.
"Scarlet Witch", starring Fan Bingbing, superhero blockbuster, in post-production.
"Uncharted", starring Cheng Long and Zhu Yawen, is currently filming.
"Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils", a Hong Kong movie, is currently filming.
"Ip Man 3", starring Zhao Wenzhuo and others, is in preparation for filming.
"China Partner", starring Huang Xiaoming and others, is about to start filming.
"Your Name", an animated film, is being produced by Hunan Hongmeng.
"Into the Dark", an animated film, is in preparation for filming.
"Frozen", an animated film, is in preparation for production in Hollywood, and the script has been registered.
The new film "Records of Swordsmanship in Jianghu" is in preparation together with director Zhang Yimou.
After these were listed, people were confused for a moment.
Too many.
But what shocked the industry the most was far from that.
After the blockbuster film list, Director Guan also released several new news, and personally posted on Weibo for this.
"In order to strongly support Chinese-language films and realize the dreams of fans and friends, I have decided to support two new movie scripts. I will star in the first one personally to fulfill the love movie I promised everyone in "Painted Skin 2", "Time Traveler", Starring Liu Yifei.
The second part is due to the online scolding war occupying social resources some time ago. I decided to support a movie in Hong Kong. The movie is a new genre of science fiction, and the tentative title is,
"Hong Kong Tour"! ”
After Guan Ling forwarded Lingyun Media’s blockbuster film list and personally posted three points on Weibo,
For a moment, Weibo was paralyzed! (End of chapter)
