Chapter 130 Harvest season! Guan Guanxue earned 800 million!
"Di Renjie?"
Liu Dehua was silent for a while.
For him, he spent the entire last year memorizing words.
What happened to Yang Lijuan at the beginning of the year made his hair turn gray.
Even because of this incident, the news that Liu Dehua won the Best Supporting Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards for "The Disciple" seemed less happy.
The media not only ate the human blood steamed buns from Yang Lijuan’s house, but also ate those from Liu Dehua. It seemed that Liu Dehua played an ulterior role in this.
It wasn’t until the hit “Tou Ming Zheng” a few months ago that he slowly recovered.
Originally Liu Dehua thought that the role Guan Ling gave him would be a special script, but after the words Guan Ling and Di Renjie came out, Liu Dehua did hesitate.
Of course he knows who Dee Renjie is. The "Detective Dee" TV series, which is very popular in the mainland, is also very popular in Hong Kong.
And there have always been people in Hong Kong filming this type of film and television works.
But movies are indeed rare.
"What? Brother Hua, do you still need to think about it?"
Guan Ling felt Liu Dehua's hesitation and asked: "If you have any considerations, you might as well say it directly."
"Director Guan, I definitely like all of your characters. After all, your script is the best script in China. But what I hesitate is that now that Teacher Liang Guanhua's Di Renjie Zhuyu is ahead, I'm worried that if I film it, Another "Mo Gong""
The previous "Mo Gong" movie was released simultaneously with "Hearing Girl".
Liu Dehua was scolded a lot for his role in it.
In "The Proposal", although it is about the Qing Dynasty, Liu Dehua plays a bandit after all, which is very different from Di Renjie's character portrayal in the official history.
Liu Dehua didn’t mind the challenge, but for a while, he really didn’t think he was suitable for this role.
"You are thinking too much. I have said before that what I want to make is a Chinese fantasy movie, not a historical costume. So you don't have to compare yourself with Mr. Liang Guanhua. These are two "The track." Guan Ling explained briefly, "Otherwise, I'll wait for you for a few days and you can fly to Beijing to read the script. If there's no problem, I'll sign the contract."
"That's great. I'll tell the director and we'll fly to the capital this afternoon."
Guan Ling asked Liu Dehua to wait for a few days. Liu Dehua had to go on the road, so he immediately did it for Guan Ling ensure.
In fact, after listening to Guan Ling's words, Liu Dehua was already inclined to nod. Director Guan's movies have never failed because of Director Guan's casting.
Since Director Guan contacted me, he must have considered his compatibility with the role.
But I didn’t realize it right away. This time I just climbed along the pole. After arriving in the capital, I quickly finished the contract.
How could Liu Dehua not be tempted by the role of the male protagonist in Guan Ling's movie or a series of movies? !
Liu Dehua is not naive enough to think that Guan Ling needs him to support the popularity of his movie and support the box office.
In China, any movie that chooses him as the protagonist may have this purpose, but Guan Ling does not need it.
Any movie by Guan Ling can make a Chinese first-tier star. Even if this person is new.
Liu Dehua knew this very well.
Because of this name, the box office in mainland China is almost a symbol of hundreds of millions.
Even a minimum of 200 million.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Dehua immediately contacted his assistant to buy a ticket.
Hong Jingbao came over and met the frowning Liu Dehua's eyes.
"Hua Zai? Director Guan contacted you, good or bad?"
Liu Dehua frowned and told the truth: "Director Guan invited me to be the leading actor in his series of movies. But I'm still a little worried, so I'm a little hesitant."
Hong Jingbao: ...
You're so hesitant!
The leading actor in the series of movies.
Guan Ling.
The connection between these two terms will definitely make the entertainment industry grab a head start!
“You are pretending! Andy!” Hong Jingbao said directly. "When Director Guan's movies come, are you still picky?"
"Now you know Director Guan's reputation in Hong Kong. Director Guan is well-received in Hollywood, Mainland China, and Hong Kong. You can catch up with them." On this platform, are you still worried about the lack of box office for the movies you star in? "
Hong Jingbao was immediately worried.
"I understand, I will fly to Beijing in the afternoon." Liu Dehua quickly silenced Hong Jingbao.
"Hua Zai, recommend me to Director Guan, I am a prime supporting role."
"Brother, please stop joking. If you really act, if you play a supporting role, the lead role will be too stressful. Big." Liu Dehua also said with a smile.
“The main thing is that I want to meet this great mainland director. “2012” has a global box office of 800 million US dollars. With this film, Cheng Long almost surpassed all the box office he made in the first half of his life.”
Hong Jingbao smiled and said, "Now even Wu Baige has to make way for this guy. No one thought that the movie box office record set by Wu Baige could be broken by a Chinese, and it was from the mainland. I I’m jealous too. It’s a pity that I’m older.”
Hung Jingbao’s status in Hong Kong is quite high, even higher than that of Cheng Long, but even so, when faced with Guan Ling’s movie, Hung Jingbao still wants to join in the fun.
"Okay, brother, I will definitely bring the message." Liu Dehua said respectfully.
……
In the office.
Liu Dehua finished reading the script.
"Director Guan, this script is amazing." Liu Dehua couldn't help but praise it.
This type of movie has never been made before. It seems that director Guan wants to complete the special effects to the end.
The script Liu Dehua saw was somewhat different from the script in his previous life.
First of all, Guan Ling has strengthened the thickness of the story.
In the previous life, the villain Shatuo played by Liang Jiahui was barely mentioned in the middle of the movie. However, during the process of improving the script, Guan Ling slightly increased the role of this character, mainly during the clue exploration process. The hook is buried in the dialogue.
Furthermore, Guan Ling has thought about this role, and he definitely cannot let a famous actor play it.
It would be too easy for the audience to guess.
But Guan Ling really didn’t think about who to choose.
This person's acting skills must be explosive, because he is a happy and loyal young man who became a vicious murderer in the city under the influence of the torrent.
So it can’t be someone the audience is familiar with.
This kind of people are usually found in theaters.
Guan Ling didn't think of a suitable candidate for a while.
Secondly, in terms of character creation, Guan Ling and Chen Guofu worked together to outline the script in depth.
For commercial films, especially detective films, the most important thing is the story, especially the character and relationship between the characters.
Only through character changes and character interactions can the story advance in an orderly manner.
The detective story is just a cover, the most interesting thing is the evolution and foreshadowing of the characters’ relationships.
Guan Ling has strengthened this point. Not only has the relationship between Di Renjie and Pei Donglai changed more naturally than in the previous life, but the relationship between Pei Donglai and Shangguan Jing'er has also been deepened.
At the same time, Guan Ling also added some more touches to the triangular relationship between Di Renjie, Wu Zetian, and Shangguan Jinger.
In fact, the drama "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven" is essentially the process of the investigation trio investigating the case. As for the fantastic scenes encountered in it, it is just a formality. It is what makes this movie possible. The key point is to attract people’s attention, but if you want to capture the audience’s heart, story is the prerequisite.
So Guan Ling put more effort into the final character portrayal.
Di Renjie’s mind is full of investigating the case. Belongs to pragmatism.
As an administrative role, Shangguan Jing'er's beauty is all that matters. This role was assigned to Fan Bingbing. When the time comes, Fan Bingbing will appear in a nude scene again in the play. She will show all her beautiful back. displayed on the screen.
When Pei Dong came, Guan Ling wanted Zhu Yawen to come.
This is a role that was previously promised to Zhu Yawen, but Zhu Yawen's acting skills need to be cultivated, because the current Zhu Yawen is indeed not as proficient in acting as Deng Chao.
Although Deng Chao is first-rate in pretending to be stupid, and he played his stupidity to perfection in the subsequent comedies and Running Man, but at this time, Deng Chao's acting skills are indeed not bad.
At least in the original Pei Donglai, the character's ruthlessness and arrogance were all performed by him.
"I originally thought that if Di Renjie were a character in official history, I wouldn't be able to portray him no matter what."
Liu Dehua said, "People on the Internet laugh at me and say what role I play. They all play Liu Dehua.”
This is actually not wrong.
Guan Ling even laughed. Liu Dehua acted Liu Dehua in everything he did, and it was the same twenty years later. But at that time, the audience suddenly realized that having Liu Dehua was already a blessing. "But now, I feel that this movie has a bit of both good and evil. It is very challenging, and judging from the script, I think this movie will definitely be successful."
Liu Dehua praised Guan Ling again.
"Then sign the contract. Producer Chen and I will finalize the casting and start shooting as soon as possible. I won't keep you after a potluck dinner in the evening. You hurry back to the set and cast the current movie. The filming of the subsequent scenes has been processed, and the rest of the time will be left to this movie."
Guan Ling was so resolute that Liu Dehua quickly agreed.
Liu Dehua had a premonition about this movie. Perhaps it would become the first Chinese-language movie to break the box office record.
And the premonition is very strong.
Not just because of Guan Ling, but this type of movie inherently attracts audiences.
Liu Dehua, who had just walked out of Lingyun Media, was quite excited. Suddenly, his assistant came over and brought him a message.
"Brother Hua, something happened in the Hong Kong entertainment industry."
"What happened?"
"Unforgettable photos."
"Again? Why are you secretly photographed every day?"
For Liu Dehua, this matter is just eight hexagrams.
Last year, there was a secret photography incident in a bathhouse. At that time, the Hong Kong media was overwhelming.
It was chaotic for a long time, and finally ended without any problem.
Unexpectedly, it’s here again now.
"It's different this time. It's not necessarily a candid photo." The assistant had a confused expression on his face.
Looked at the web news.
Liu De straightened up, and he turned out to be someone he knew. He had a good impression of this junior. They had worked well together in "Infernal Affairs".
This young man... what a pity. What's the future like?
……
The door opened.
In just two days, the photo was posted all over the Internet. And more and more people are involved.
The agency was furious, called the police and tried its best to trace the source of the photo.
Fans have also established the Global Rage Action Alliance, trying to search for evidence to clear their idols.
But the female stars involved in the entire entertainment industry have all strangely fallen into silence.
Didn't show up.
The police identified the photo and found that there were no traces of modification, but that the photo was taken with a mobile phone.
For a time,
the entire network exploded!
The Hong Kong entertainment industry is in chaos.
The mainland entertainment industry was also immediately swept by these things.
The popularity of Guan Ling's movies and TV series can only be ranked second.
“I can’t believe that someone as awesome as Director Guan could be stepped on by these stars.” Netizens laughed and laughed.
These people are all on fire! It even became popular abroad.
……
Guan Ling, on the other hand, is holding a celebration banquet under the arrangement of China Film Group.
The global box office of the movie exceeded 800 million US dollars. This achievement would be impossible without a celebration party.
Cheng Long is back.
"Director Guan, I just came back and I heard that you hired Hua Tsai for your new play. I was obviously the one who came here first."
Brother Cheng Long can also joke.
It can be seen that the movie "2012" has increased Cheng Long's confidence.
"Are you sure you haven't found a suitable Hollywood movie after staying in the United States for so many days? Are you still coming back to act in a Chinese-language movie with me?" Guan Ling asked.
The filming of "Rush Hour 3" has been completed, and the release of "2012" has given Cheng Long a good reputation around the world. Now Cheng Long's popularity is almost back to its peak.
"Speaking of this, I get angry. Director Guan, I have obviously seen so many good Hollywood scripts of yours, why do you have to make a Chinese-language movie? Isn't it good to go to Hollywood?"
< br>Cheng Long didn’t understand.
"After this movie became a hit, you are now very popular in Hollywood. Too many people asked me about you when I was in the United States. I really don't understand your decision."
"If I were an actor If so, I will definitely continue to act in Hollywood, which is the global palace of actors. But as a director, and I have just established a theater company, I have to consider the development of the Chinese market. It has always been Hollywood movies, which will contribute to the growth of the Chinese box office. It is a promotion, but it may not be a good thing for the development of Chinese films."
Han Sanpin couldn't help but nod after hearing Guan Ling's words.
“Although I hope that Director Guan can make Hollywood blockbusters, Director Guan’s words speak to my heart.
Our Chinese films must not only develop, but also influence Li An is not enough. Now that Director Guan can take the initiative to consider this, I am really happy."
Cheng Long gave a thumbs up.
“We still have to work hard on influence.
The Olympic Games are the development of sports in major countries, and we are going to host them.
The development of movies in the mainland, in addition to Director Guan and Director Zhang, the others may be really bad."
Cheng Long went straight without thinking about whether he had left someone behind.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's just celebrate today." Han Sanpin raised his glass.
The wrinkles on my face showed when I smiled.
"Director Guan, the income this movie has brought to China Film Group is comparable to the income from other movies combined. Based on this, I have to personally pay a toast to Director Guan today."
Han Dong is high-spirited. He has recently eliminated people who are not of the same mind, and he has done a good job of brushing his face in front of his superiors.
It can be said that we are firmly on the Diaoyutai.
As he spoke, Han Sanpin poured wine for Guan Ling.
Cheng Long’s pupils narrowed.
The boss of China Film Group Corporation, his attitude towards Director Guan is a status symbol in itself.
Guan Ling also smiled happily.
He roughly calculated that Lingyun Media invested more than 30 million US dollars.
Converted into income.
On this movie alone, he can earn 800 million blood.
"Director Han, I am able to earn so much profit thanks to China Film's mediation. Otherwise, even though it is a co-production, if the other party tries to trick me, I will have no place to look for it. This is yours. Face."
"It's easy to talk about. If there is a movie like this in the future, Director Guan will definitely be your strong support."
On the other side, Ren Zhonglun's face turned green.
They almost had the right to import, but were cut off by China Film. Although they are making a lot of money now. But compared to China Film and Lingyun, it is indeed far behind.
Although for them, this is free money. But if I can't resist others earning more, I will definitely be jealous.
“No, don’t say this in front of me, I have a headache.”
Cheng Long was furious, “Director Guan, a black-hearted guy, gave me five million dollars. I’m so angry just thinking about it!”
“You can’t say that! Brother Cheng Long, this is a gentleman’s agreement. I am the one who agrees to the salary reduction.”
Cheng Long shook his hair.
"I won't listen, I won't listen. When Director Guan comes, we must have a drink."
A few people laughed.
Cheng Long felt even more heartbroken and stewed it in one gulp.
