Chapter 14 Celebration, Golden Horse, Gift from Sister
CCTV movie channel bonus gave "The Uninvited Guest" a complete character.
A milestone at low cost!
When talking about Chinese film history from now on, Guan Ling and "The Uninvited Guest" suddenly became an unavoidable topic.
Movie Channel conducted an exclusive interview on how Guan Ling came up with such a story. Guan Ling talked eloquently and was very confident.
"Director Guan is young and promising. I look forward to Director Guan continuing to contribute to the domestic film industry." The movie channel also came out with a deputy director to greet Guan Ling.
“I will definitely give my best.”
The host Teacher Tu also exchanged contact information with Guan Ling.
“Next year there will definitely be a celebration party for the 100th anniversary of Chinese cinema, and “Uninvited Guests” can be regarded as the first shot for this celebration.”
Not long after it came out, Mr. Han hit The call came and I wanted to hold a celebration party. Now that the movies have been released and the box office is so high, it would seem petty not to hold this celebration party.
"You can contact the creator yourself and come when the time comes." Mr. Han wanted to say something else, but he hesitated.
Guan Ling called Fan Wei and others and told them the time and place.
Fan Wei expressed his congratulations on the phone for the movie's box office success, although he had already congratulated it several times.
Then he thanked Guan Ling again and again. His gratitude to Guan Ling came from the bottom of his heart. With this movie, he became an instant hit on the movie platform. Many people no longer watch him as a sketch actor. Recently, many people People came to ask about his schedule, and it seemed that he would have a lot of filming appointments in the future.
When I contacted Dong Xuan, she was answered quickly.
After chatting about the celebration banquet, the other party decisively agreed.
At the end of the conversation, the other person suddenly lowered his voice.
"Junior brother, what should I do if I regret it~" I am twenty-six-year-old, and I even acted coquettishly on the phone.
“What do you regret?” Guan Ling smiled half-heartedly, pretending not to know anything.
“I suddenly want to fall in love again.” Beauty Xuan was very direct, but she deliberately didn’t say who she was dating.
"Sister, the peach blossoms are actually blooming~" Guan Ling pretended to be surprised. "Who is the peach blossom?"
Dong Xuan was very angry. The peach blossom must have bloomed. Didn't you open it for her? Now I pretend not to be familiar with me. I wish I could grow up with him when I was in Chongqing. What a scumbag.
"Dudududu..." Dong Xuan hung up immediately.
"Senior sister is a senior sister, how can she be compared to a junior sister?"
Guan Ling doesn't care, it is a good experience to enjoy happiness together, forget about falling in love, he is only two He is eleven years old, and he still has at least sixty years of great youth.
Back at school, I met Wang Jinsong when I entered the school gate. Wang Jinsong was so angry, "You kid, I asked you to pull out a banner for me to welcome the new year, but you really pulled out a banner. , you don’t show your face, why don’t you know that the admission time is delayed? You put up a banner to welcome me?” Guan Ling was confused. , he has been shopping around BJ City for the past ten days. When he has nothing to do, he stares at the courtyard at home, wondering how to decorate it, lying on the old man's chair, enjoying the smell of money.
I really don’t care much about school affairs. The banners are all arranged with the school print shop in advance.
“The dormitories in the school are being renovated, and the new students will not start school until the day after. If you don’t come by then, I won’t be done with you!”
The new students must show their strength when they start school, and those who are famous If the student director stops here, the one next door will be inferior.
"Definitely!" Guan Ling remembered clearly now and hurriedly assured Wang Jinsong.
"You know each other."
That is, they are familiar with the class teacher, so they can talk like this. Now Guan Ling is very popular in the school, and some teachers even want to fight with Guan Ling A good relationship makes it easy to play Guan Ling.
Guan Ling also saw Huang Lei two days ago, and Huang Lei took the initiative to say hello.
Married for more than a year, I heard that Huang Lei’s wife was pregnant two days ago. During this time, Huang Lei has been running around at school and home.
Actually, Guan Ling admires Teacher Huang Lei quite a lot. Before getting married, she and Milk Tea had a heated argument. When Milk Tea held a concert in Shanghai, she even said in front of the fans: "There is a boy who beat me Call me and he won’t get married as long as I don’t agree!”
While singing, Huang Lei got married within two days. And there was no wedding, just a random meal.
More than a year has passed, and it seems that Teacher Huang Lei has gone through that sad past.
But with such ease between the two women, how could Guan Ling be unconvinced. A teacher is a teacher and you have to learn from others.
I went to find Tian Zhuangzhuang again and invited him to attend the celebration banquet, and was taught by Teacher Tian earnestly.
The next day, he met Mr. Han and Han Zheng at the celebration banquet. To Guan Ling's surprise, two brothers, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, also came. They had nothing to do with them. He didn't know what they were celebrating.
"Director Guan, we meet again." Wang Zhonglei greeted.
“I happened to be talking with Director Han and the others in the afternoon. I heard that they were going to celebrate Director Guan, so my two brothers came to join in the fun and congratulate Director Guan on his first film’s box office exceeding 40 million. You won’t blame me. Come uninvited?"
"Of course not," Guan Ling said quickly.
Huayi has not made any big productions this year. They are currently looking around for some projects. "The Night Banquet" won't be approved until next month, or even in November.
"Director Guan," after a few people exchanged pleasantries, Mr. Han suddenly asked Guan Ling, "What do you think of the current domestic blockbusters?"
Before this year, China Film Group has been None of them have any domestic blockbusters of their own, so this year he went to great lengths to invite Poet Chen to spend a lot of money to create "The Promise." Promise had already gone to Cannes in May this year to send out trailers, which attracted some people's attention, but The effect is not particularly good.
On the contrary, the unintentional "Uninvited Guests" brought six or seven times the profit to China Film, which made Mr. Han couldn't help but think.
Movies produced with small and medium budgets can also promote the prosperity of domestic movies as long as their appeal is high enough. This is what Mr. Han has been thinking recently.
Guan Ling was quite confused. He came here to celebrate, so why did he take the exam?
But when Third Master asked, he had to answer. After thinking about it, Guan Ling said.
“From "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Seven Swords", the core of costume blockbusters is there, and the audience will reach the critical point of aesthetic fatigue sooner or later. The "bigness" of domestic blockbusters is a good thing, but We can’t blindly pursue “bigness”, we need something newer.”
Guan Ling said carefully. In fact, every company now has a policy, which is big production, big director, big investment, big actors, and Guan Ling. If Ling were not careful with these words, he might offend someone.
"What is this newer thing?" Wang Zhongjun asked.
"Viewability?" Guan Ling said, "Or, excitement? In short, it cannot be completely 'big', and big production cannot be completely limited to ancient costumes. However, big production itself There is nothing wrong, but it must not be like some movies, which are mixed, mixed, and have insufficient storytelling. Why do people want to watch American blockbusters? Because they are diverse, including Fast and Furious, War of the Worlds, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and so on. . ”
Guan Ling’s words are sincere. Although the box office of “Uninvited Guests” is not low in later generations, people in China have already experienced similar large-scale productions, so naturally it is not special. cold.
It is now that this movie is very novel, and others gave it a chance, this is why it became so popular.
Several bosses were lost in thought.
“The reason why Guan Dao is so popular cannot be summed up in just one sentence of luck.” Wang Zhonglei praised from the sidelines.
I asked Guan Ling again if he had any plans for a new movie. Guan Lingdao had not thought of a script yet. There would definitely not be a new movie released this year, but he might make one if he had an idea.
"Director Han, do you mind if I, Huayi, also get a share of the pie?" Wang Zhonglei was more direct than his brother, "We can pay a premium."
Can Mr. Han What to say? "You have to ask Director Guan about this."
Guan Ling said with a smile: "I haven't thought about the script yet. The cost may still be small by then. Let's talk about it later."
No He agreed but did not refuse. Mr. Han asked Guan Ling if he wanted to sign up for this year's Golden Horse Awards. He is now asking for registration, and the deadline is before the end of the month.
"You may not win an award." Guan Ling said, "Then please help Director Han apply for it. I feel there should be some nominations."
Guan Ling will not do this for this movie. I went to look for promotions, and I didn’t care about winning awards for the movie, but I could still participate. The movie had so much box office, so I didn’t want to go to a film festival like Night Walk in Jinyi.
The banquet didn't end until after ten o'clock in the evening.
At the celebration banquet, Dong Xuan kept a cold face and smiled and greeted others. When she arrived at Guan Ling, she pretended to turn a blind eye. Fan Wei noticed it, but pretended not to see it and left. When he arrived, he left the driver behind and told Guan Ling to ask the driver to help him see someone off if necessary.
"Goodbye, Director Guan."
After sending several bosses away, Fan Wei and others also withdrew.
Only Dong Xuan remained at the banquet. When everyone left, she seemed to be drunk, lying on the table, with her white onion-like arms exposed and hanging outside the table.
"Senior sister, wake up. Just now you were holding a red wine glass to find someone to drink with. Why did you lie down in ten seconds?"
"What's wrong with lying down? Can't you just lie down?" "Dong Xuan stood up, "No one cares about me anyway."
"I'll take care of it. Where is the assistant? I'll ask her to send it back to you," Guan Ling said with relief.
"Man, what you say is all lies... You are obviously in charge, so why are you looking for my assistant? I didn't ask her to come today." Dong Xuan reached out to put her hand on Guan Ling's shoulder. , "Take me away."
Finally, Guan Ling had no choice but to carry Dong Xuan out of the door.
Fan Wei's driver was really waiting at the door: "Director Guan, I'll take you wherever you want to go."
Isn't this to say that Teacher Fan should be angry! This person, this life! It’s very six plus seven!
I wanted to take Dong Xuan back to her home, but she seemed to be really drunk and unresponsive. Finally, Guan Ling took Dong Xuan to the newly bought courtyard house.
During this period, although the courtyard had not been renovated externally, all the household items inside had been replaced from the inside out.
Just for emergencies. No, it’s used!
In a quaint room in the courtyard, Guan Ling put Dong Xuan on the bed.
"You are so thin, but you are still quite heavy!" Guan Ling was speechless. Although he was quite strong, the other party seemed to be messing with him on purpose, making him sweat profusely.
"Who are you talking about?" She seemed to be awake and hugged Guan Ling's neck.
The look in her eyes was obviously dull, and she had indeed drank a lot. Guan Ling put her down, and taking advantage of others' danger was not Guan Ling's way of establishing himself.
“Why are you running?” Dong Xuan pouted and leaned towards Guan Ling’s face, her big eyes flashing, and she was so close that Guan Ling could feel the other person’s breath and the smell of alcohol. , "Is it really impossible to fall in love?"
"There is no regret medicine in the world." Guan Ling did not answer directly.
"Oh..." The other party was obviously a little unhappy, "I knew it."
Guan Ling pulled her hand and it was still around his neck.
Who would have thought that although the other party was thin and weak, he was very strong and directly pulled Guan Ling on the bed.
"If you don't give me love," Dong Xuan snorted, "then give me happiness!"
Okay...
Guan Ling decided to let others control him.
Don’t tell me, your throat is moist after drinking alcohol! The other side is wild.
Gift from sister, hey, Guan Ling also found happiness.
Next door to the courtyard is a seventy-year-old man who was a geologist a long time ago. He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, thinking that the North China Plain seismic zone had ruptured.
