"What's the new chairman's name?"
"Abeto Barbera," Zhang Junning said, "This is his second term in the palace. The last time he served was from 1998 to 2002, and he has been the director of the Italian National Film Museum since then."< br>
“What was the performance of Chinese-language films at that time?”
"Throughout Barbera's tenure, important awards were won by Zhang Yimou's "No One Less" in 1999, and Zhang Yuan's "Go Home for the New Year" in the same year, which won the Golden Lion Award and the Silver Award for Best Director respectively. Lion Award. Other than that, there is nothing else.”
Zhang Junning hesitated for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and searched for some news on the Internet.
"The 65th Cannes International Film Festival will be held in Cannes on May 16, 2012, and the Chinese films in the main competition unit will appear with zero films!"
“If you can’t leave Guan Ling, you can’t enter Cannes!”
"Chinese-language films did not qualify for the main competition section of this year's Cannes Film Festival. When the shortlist was announced, Chinese-language directors expressed their disappointment."
"Director Guan, this is the news about the Cannes Film Festival last month. There are no new Chinese-language films shortlisted for the main competition. Only Lou Ye's "The Mystery of the Floating City" became the only Chinese-language film, selected second only to A focus unit inside the main competition
If Venice returns empty-handed again, the industry will be confused again. ”
Guan Ling was thoughtful when he heard the words.
"The Internet will probably scold me when the time comes. Is it because of the awards at the beginning of the year? Netizens will criticize me for winning all the Chinese Film awards for the year."
Zhang Junning chuckled.
"Why don't you go."
Guan Ling is not the kind of person who keeps clamoring for the good of Chinese movies every day but doesn't catch up when things get serious.
Guan Ling made up his mind and said softly: "No matter what, we value personal relationships the most. Since the new chairman is here and has invited me to be the chairman of the jury, it would really be inappropriate not to go."
"Then this is how I reply to him?"
"Wait a minute and let me think about it. Since I'm going, I have to bring him a gift."
Guan Ling thought for a while, and there are two movies that can catch up with the review now. One is "Perfect Strangers" which has just been completed, and the other is Ning Hao's "Wild Stories". After thinking about it carefully, Both films are indeed suitable for the Venice International Film Festival.
In the midst of the struggle, Guan Ling suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
Since he invited him, he didn't necessarily have to accept it.
Even if he refuses the position of chairman of the Venice International Film Festival's main competition jury, it doesn't mean he can't build good relationships.
Since there is such a publicity opportunity, why not go together.
"You help me reject him," Guan Ling said, "Then tell him that Ning Hao and I will participate in this Venice International Film Festival."
"I understand." Zhang Junning nodded.
"If you have a chance, please help us make a phone call."
Guan Ling thought for a while, "It would be more sincere to tell this matter in person."
Now that I have chosen to participate in the film festival, it would be inappropriate to serve as the chairman of the jury.
"Okay, I'll make an appointment." Zhang Junning nodded.
It was only at this time that she could feel how powerful Guan Ling was.
After landing in the capital, all they talked about in the car was to talk to the President of Venice.
To the ears of a so-called actor like Zhang Junning, these words sounded too holy in front of others, which made Zhang Junning's heart tremble.
In Guan Ling's view, "Wild Stories" is not a pure commercial film and can win awards at Venice. However, Ning Hao has indeed not made a breakthrough in awards for many years since his debut. Since he chose to film this time If you don’t know this non-pure commercial film, you can give it a try.
"Perfect Strangers" is a commercial film, and the main competition in Venice may not necessarily agree with it, but using the platform of Venice, it is still possible to vigorously sell the copyright.
In its previous life, "Perfect Strangers" was the most remade movie in the world, and even set a Guinness World Record. Its copyrights were sold to more than 30 countries, and there were 18 remakes!
It can be said to have created a miracle of low-cost movies.
Being able to make an appearance in Venice this time really gives Venice a lot of face.
This is useful for Chinese-language films and even for the emotional scale of Venetian Barbera.
Ultimately, the three major elements are also made up of people.
The reason why the previous Mark Muller was considered the most "pro-Chinese" chairman was that he really loved Chinese movies and even considered studying Chinese history and anthropology.
Compared with Barbera, she naturally appears to be more "just".
In fact, this is indeed the case. The first thing a new official does when he takes office is to attack his predecessor and deny his predecessor's political achievements.
If you want a Chinese-language film, then I will kick him out.
This seems to have been the case in the previous life. Since Mark Muller left office, Chinese-language films have rarely won awards in Venice.
Guan Ling even thought about whether Barbera wouldn't even send out this invitation if he didn't have such a famous reputation in the circle.
In fact, some news leaked out last year. Many directors were worried that after Mark Mueller left office, Chinese-language films would collectively lose their voice and were worried about the fate of Chinese-language films.
Later, sporadic news also spread that Barbera would make drastic reforms, but the specific details were unclear.
It’s just that some people think that Barbera will not vigorously invite Hollywood movie stars like Mark Muller. At the same time, he denies Mark Muller’s attitude of adhering to art and wants to make great efforts in the Venice market and compete with Toronto.
In fact, there is a well-established rule in the Venice film market. Cannes has always been the largest film market in the world, but Venice rarely works on it because after Venice participates in competitions or screenings, everyone will soon gather in Toronto. Selling films at film festivals has become a routine.
But when Barbera was competing for office, his point was to vigorously develop market transactions.
I just don’t know what the outcome will be.
As the car was driving on the way to "Avengers", Zhang Junning saw Director Guan expressing his exhaustion and gave Guan Ling a full-body spa.
From the neck to the head, from the back to the forearms, Zhang Junning's pressure on Guan Ling was so comfortable that he couldn't help but moan.
The fight with Wan Qian was indeed the most wanton and reckless Guan Ling had done in this period of time.
He also deeply felt a new meaning of instilling joy in people.
The fun this time came from helping others, and Guan Ling agreed with the final result.
There is no need to be bound by morality, and there is no need to consider too many consequences. If you are in a good mood that day, then just do it.
This stress-free situation is quite comfortable for Guan Ling.
At this time, Zhang Junning's massage made this comfort appear externally.
There are women who make themselves comfortable by doing surgery at night, and women who do it during the day to make themselves comfortable. These two things happen on the same day, which is indeed very wonderful.
……
The popularity of "Avengers" is actually not low,
The collective appearance of the first generation heroes of the Avengers has aroused countless expectations for many viewers who have watched this movie, and they are eager to rush into the Avengers at any time.
Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Hawkeye,
Each of the six people is familiar to Chinese audiences who like Marvel.
Therefore, the popularity of this premiere is still very high.
Even Hawkeye and Scarlett Johansson came to China to promote the series.
Also arriving was Marcus, a head of Marvel Studios.
So since the morning of that day, "Avengers" has been on Weibo's hot searches. The only one higher than him on the entertainment list is Deng Chao's affair.
But even so, when Guan Ling appeared at the premiere of "Avengers".
The circle exploded instantly.
"Guan Ling personally attended the premiere of "Avengers" to help "Avengers" be released in China."
"Guan Ling and Marcus shook hands and took photos, smiling broadly."
In particular, Guan Ling picked up the microphone and said to everyone that maybe from now on, everyone can see Fan Bingbing in "Avengers", which made the premiere reach its climax.
Marcus watched helplessly how much Chinese fans trusted Guan Ling. This premiere of "Avengers" would have almost become Guan Ling's home field if it weren't for the wild shouts of the hosts.
Then, after the lights were turned off.
Guan Ling's figure disappeared.
Backstage.
"This time in China, I really felt the meaning of the name Guan."
Scarlett Johansson also walked in and hugged Guan Ling.
"Long time no see."
Guan Ling said.
"It didn't take long," Scarlett said, "but there were too many things that happened in the middle, and almost every time, you did it." Scarlett bit her lip, her eyes filled with a trace of resentment.
"I really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would find me a competing product?"
Guan Ling said in a daze: "You mean, Amber?"
"Of course," Scarlett said, "Whether you admit it or not, after "Aquaman", she has been able to compete with me for those resources."
"Why don't I admit it?" Guan Ling asked.
Scarlett had nothing to say.
But she likes Guan Ling like this, who is direct and domineering, and has the style of a great Hollywood director.
If Guan Ling was willing to push her down on the red sofa in the hotel, maybe all the stories would not have to wait until today.
Scarlett even doubted whether Amber was still alive.
"Neptune"? Can't she act? And she's a bigger bear.

She walked forward and was very close to Guan Ling. Guan Ling lowered his head and could even feel Scarlett's rapid and powerful breathing.
"Are those words still true?"
"What are you talking about?" Guan Ling was in a daze.
"At the Oscars, James tweeted that he wanted to drink my bath water because he admired me to the extreme. You laughed very happily at the time. I asked you why you were happy. You said you can drink water when you admire me, but not It must be bath water.”
Scarlett's words popped out one by one, awakening Guan Ling's previously dormant memories.
"I would like to ask, what kind of water are you talking about?"
Guan Ling thought of the answer he had given Scarlett, so he leaned into Scarlett's ear again, "Do you want to try it?"
Last time, he tried Scarlett, but received no response.
Although she was sexy and sultry at that time, she kept dragging her words.
But this time, she stood on tiptoes and pecked Guan Ling's lips with her lips.
"Of course, tonight."
"But I don't have the habit of drinking from others."
"I know what you mean, but I agree."
Scarlett smiled and said, "We foreigners are more direct than you."
"I don't have any new movies suitable for you recently."
A smile formed on the corner of Guan Ling's mouth.
"That's not important." Scarlett's lips parted as soon as they touched her. Her lips were thick, moist, and seemed to be full of strong emotions.
Then she said word for word: "I want to have everything my competitors have and have never had."
…………
In the cinema hall at the premiere, there were uproar from time to time.
Many movie fans don't know that the Black Widow they love is currently having a fight with Guan Ling in the back hall.
After the entire movie was screened, Marcus had time to sit with Guan Ling.
"This was a very brief negotiation."
Guan Ling looked at Marcus, "I want to occupy some share in Marvel's future movies."
Marcus' face suddenly changed: "I didn't expect you to talk about this."
"The roles have been decided before, and all that's left is the amount of investment." Guan Ling said, "Since we rarely cooperate, I think this is an opportunity."
Marcus shook his head.
"I can tell you very clearly, Guan, we respect you very much. You are a director that every company in Hollywood wants to have, but you are definitely not on the list of people who can have investment plans."
"What if you add my promotion in China, China Film's schedule, and the channels of Skyline and Lionsgate Films?"
Guan Ling doesn't mind showing his bright cards to Marvel.
Marcus hesitated.
Guan Ling said: "I also have "Aquaman 2" and others..."
Marcus's expression changed drastically.
"When DC sees how much money this movie has made, will it agree to continue licensing movies to you?"
Marcus didn't believe it.
"I can't show you the contract, but if James Wan fails, I have the investment amount to pay to DC." Guan Ling said, "So the winner of the additional clause is now me."
"I may need to report up."
"You can continue to add numbers to them." Guan Ling said.
"What?" Marcus' eyes were clear.
"I want to create an opportunity for cooperation between you and DC. Maybe more superhero movies will be released in the future. Otherwise, your vitality will become increasingly scarce."
Guan Ling is very straightforward,
"To put it simply, this is not a bad thing. And I can also make the money I want to make in it."
"And you can also earn more in China."
Marcus looked calm.
Until this young man said those crazy words, "Of course, I can't make it. But in this three-acre land of China, whether you want imported films to make money or not, I said it, and it counts a little bit." …”
Suddenly, the room became quiet.
Guan Ling showed his fangs.
Guan Ling did not reveal anything about wanting to steal Industrial Light & Magic. Motian Lingyun and Lingyun Media only need to know about this matter.
It’s not too late to make an official announcement after winning.
But even if it was a matter of asking for a share, Guan Ling's domineering attitude burned Hawkeye, and he couldn't help but reveal a clear and blank gaze.
Scarlett exhaled like a blue, she seemed to have imagined everything that might happen.
tough.
sharp.
Fierce negotiations,
Like a gust of wind and rain, continuous.
It makes people tremble!
…
After the negotiation is completed.
Marcus said he needed to wait for feedback, he couldn't decide.
Guan Ling accepted this view.
Looking at the Internet again, Deng Chao and Sun Li have both issued statements, refuting rumors, accusations, and lawyer's letters. The whole set has been the most popular search.
Zhuo Wei also accepted an interview and claimed that justice prevails in the hearts of the people, and then launched a scapegoat to admit miscarriage of justice.
The lawyer's letter has been issued anyway, so it won't go to court, so it's just a show.
The matter was resolved smoothly.
Some claim PR.
Some people think it is just a false alarm.
Everywhere, there is still a pretense of peace.
Most of the people waiting in the theater have left.
Guan Ling was still sitting in the back hall, calling Gu Tianle, Wu Jing and others.
“This filming will start soon,” Guan Ling said. “Actually, in my opinion, compared to the various blockbusters shot before, this is the only film that can really pave the way for Lingyun Media. ”
Guan Ling said, "Because he doesn't need too many special effects or too many external forces. He only needs you and the extras."
Wu Jing and Gu Tianle suddenly became awe-inspiring. (End of chapter)
