Chapter 207: Caught in shit!
At the closing banquet, everyone wanted to cry.
Especially Zhou Xun, when she was filming the scene in the police station, she was completely immersed in the role of the characters in the play.
"Does it mean that after giving birth to a child, one automatically becomes a mother? The person who gives birth to the child is not qualified to be a mother."
In this scene, Guan Ling went through it all.
And Zhou Xun's acting skills also exploded completely in this section, and Liu Yifei stood up as he watched.
Generally, movie shooting announcements are made according to what is most convenient.
This can avoid cost waste.
But Guan Ling filmed in front this time to reduce costs, and Guan Ling specially selected the last few people's clips.
This makes it possible to take the last warm picture.
Everyone can feel the feeling of ending the song.
A stolen family, the destruction of a family, everything is so logical.
But it makes people have to consider a question carefully.
Is stolen family love considered family love?
Grandma Wu Yanshu was still unable to block the invasion of the cold air. She caught a cold and spent the wedding banquet in the hospital.
This makes Guan Ling a little embarrassed.
But Wu Yanshu also said that it was her honor to be able to participate in this movie.
“I’m a little lucky now,” Zhou Xun raised his wine glass to Guan Ling at the closing banquet. “If you hadn’t chosen me, Director Guan, maybe I would have really missed out on this script.”
A glass of wine, Zhou Xun drank it directly.
Terminating the contract with Huayi was too much of a gamble for her, but the filming of this movie made Zhou Xun only feel happy in her heart.
"Sister Xun. Don't call me when you're drinking." Huang Bo blinked and came over, "I won't say anything anymore, I'll do it too."
This fool didn't say anything, just a glass of wine The wine dried up.
"Guan Hu has now signed a contract with Lingyun Media. Your next focus will be to shoot a series of his movies." Guan Ling looked at Huang Bo.
"Okay, Mr. Guan, wherever you point, I will hit you."
Huang Bo was a little anxious after drinking Bai Bai, so he smashed his mouth, and he agreed in a hurry.
At night, in the hotel, Liu Yifei tilted her little head.
Continue playing brain teasers with Guan Ling.
"I'm not convinced, come again." Liu Yifei felt that her IQ had plummeted recently, and she was shocked. She couldn't be pregnant, right?
"Okay, let's use an idiom for a woman to give birth to a child."
After Liu Yifei said a lot of four-character words such as "desperate to die, narrow escape, mother and child are safe", Guan Ling couldn't say anything right. , is a bloody mouthful.
I can't fix it for Liu Yifei.
Later we talked about five hundred women running around naked and playing sports.
After Liu Yifei knew the answer, she completely admitted that she really couldn't beat Guan Ling.
What kind of god could come up with the answer to five hundred women running around naked and putting a shot put?
After losing the brainteaser competition, I had no choice but to admit defeat.
Guan Ling enjoyed a wave of luxurious services that night.
The next day, I returned to the company.
I contacted the staff who worked on the soundtrack and the final film editing, and Guan Ling, the editor of "Shoplifters", had to watch it personally, and estimated that it would take about a month.
The time is just in time.
"Shoplifters" has always been watched by the industry, and Guan Ling has just finished filming.
The news spread to the Internet.
And it was directly pinned to the top of major portal websites.
"Guan Ling's "Shoplifters" movie has been completed, China's second Palme d'Or film is about to be released?"
""Shoplifters" stars Zhou Xun, Huang Bo, Liu Yifei, Wu Yanshu, alone With these four people, it may be difficult for people to associate this movie with the Cannes Film Festival, but after all, the director is Guan Ling, so maybe we can look forward to it.”
Brother Chen Kai was interviewed by relevant news reporters.
"Director Chen, Director Guan Ling and Director Guan have finished filming their new film, and they are aiming for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Do you think there is a chance?"
"Guan Ling is the strongest commercial film director in China. I also want to be a little stronger.
After all, he is still a newcomer in the field of literary films, but because Director Guan has created so many miracles, I am indeed optimistic that this film can win the Palme d'Or. .
I hope that Chinese-language films can have the same confidence as Director Guan.
The Palme d'Or needs more Chinese-language blood, and not just let "Farewell My Concubine" become the Chinese mainland. ”
These words were very high-level. They praised Guan Ling and himself. They also expressed his optimism and affirmed Guan Ling's self-confidence.
What is a little embarrassing is that behind-the-scenes footage of Brother Chen Kai was also posted online by someone who was interested.
Backstage, industry insiders asked Chen Kai if he really believed that there would be another Chinese-language film that could win the Palme d'Or?
Brother Chen Kai shook his head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Poet Chen used his two-sided speech to suppress the major gossips in the entertainment industry in an instant.
……
February and March in the entertainment industry are the off-season for the entertainment industry.
The most noteworthy thing in February is that Pan Yueming and his wife Dong Jie gave birth to a baby boy.
Guan Ling vaguely saw the news and got a little excited.
His impression of Pan Yueming is actually quite good. As for Dong Jie, the name of this "empty actress" is really right.
Anyway, Guan Ling really couldn't imagine how this woman ended up having sex with a certain old Wang.
The villain filed a complaint first, saying that Pan Yueming was heavily in debt and gambling all the time.
It’s too difficult to comment...
The 59th Berlin International Film Festival has come to an end, and "Mei Lanfang" did not achieve enough box office in the mainland.
In Berlin, Although it was successfully shortlisted for the Golden Bear Award, it did not win the Golden Bear Award.
This makes Poet Chen relatively calm recently and has not come out to bombard him.
Otherwise, the entertainment industry will definitely become lively.
However, as the only Chinese-language film in Berlin this time, "Mei Lanfang" has obviously received a lot of heated discussions, and Zhang Ziyi was not affected by Beach Gate at all.
With her red makeup and strong psychology, all stars in the mainland have to admire her.
Only the absence of Wang Xueqi made Berlin lose some focus this time, because in this movie, the "Thirteen Swallows" played by Wang Xueqi became the focus of heated discussion.
Moreover, the nomination list of the third Asian Film Awards has been announced. Wang Xueqi was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his outstanding performance in this film.
On March 4, a private meeting between the director and the Film Bureau, China Film and Television was held in Beijing.
Originally, China Film Group was planning to hold this meeting on March 1, but because Guan Ling's "Shoplifters" was about to wrap up, China Film Group had to wait for Guan Ling for three days.
Others didn't know this, but Han Sanpin watched helplessly as the radio and television approved this date.
Just to wait for Guan Ling.
It can be seen how high Guan Ling's status is now for Chinese movies.
The meeting mainly discussed the phenomenon of Chinese costume blockbusters dominating the box office in the past two years. Previously, both China Radio and Television and China Film Group suggested encouraging costume blockbusters to cultivate the market.
Now, the box office for last year has exceeded 7 billion, an increase of 240% compared to the same period in 2008.
Lingyun Media accounts for nearly half of this data.
In the eyes of the Film Bureau and China Film Group, this blowout is too awesome. The historical function of the costume blockbusters that they previously wanted to cultivate the market has basically achieved their goal.
In the future, we must encourage various types of commercial films to emerge, encourage the development of major, medium and small films, and usher in the spring of Chinese movie audiences.
At the meeting, the director of the Film Bureau made it clear:
“In the past few years, the Chinese market was immature, and the task of developing box office fell on the shoulders of a limited number of big directors. Commercial Everyone needs to bear the burden of pressure and artistic standards, so the balance is not very good. "The Promise" has become a "blood bun", which is also worthy of caution.
But now, the first stage is being completed. After the goal, our goal is accomplished.
So now the film bureau allows major directors to take off the burden of box office.
You can choose to make the movies you want.
< br>Investment, China Film Association supports it. Don’t worry about this. ”
The meeting content was relatively fast, and Guan Ling also understood it.
Probably because the film bureau has learned about the new film trends of major directors, so it wants to come out and make some fine-tuning of policies.
Zhang Yimou has been preparing a film about the Nanjing Massacre in addition to "Three Guns", and Chen Kaige has become a "Master of Chinese Culture" after "Mei Lanfang" and recently wants to prepare a Yuan drama about China. The first tragedy.
Teachers Tian Zhuangzhuang and Jia Zhangke also attended the meeting. They also made it clear that they may try more commercial elements in their new films in the future.
To put it simply, commercial directors think about art, and art directors think about business. This topic was known to the Film Bureau, and it was clarified and encouraged.
If you think about it carefully, Guan Ling himself made an art film.
So this meeting was really appropriate.
At the meeting, the Film Bureau clearly put forward ideas to encourage Chinese films to develop in a more mature direction.
A part of the film list was also shown at the meeting, which was different from the previous palaces, killings and power struggles on the big screen.
This time, many movies have abandoned these traditional movie contents, and instead encouraged Chinese filmmakers to start working on seizing traditional resources and making movies with a good sense.
For example, Hong Kong is filming "Mulan", and the Mainland is filming the cultural celebrity film "Confucius"...
Guan Ling was regarded as a model and was named and praised at the meeting.
Whether it is cultural output or box-office strength, Guan Ling's performance in 2008 can be said to be inferior to all current directors.
Guan Ling was also asked to speak at the meeting, and many directors watched helplessly as Guan Ling talked about the theme of the meeting.
In fact, there is no substance in the speech, just support it.
This private meeting is both a survey and a notification. It essentially tells the directors that you guys should film well and don’t have to go on stage with a mission.
Guan Ling never went into battle with a box office mission, so it was quite easy.
Also named and praised was Hong Kong director Stephen Chow.
Just this month, a movie "Dragon Ball" will be released in cinemas.
Actually, this movie has some connection with Zhou Xingxing.
After "Kung Fu", it was once rumored that Zhou Xingxing would enter Hollywood. And will also become the producer of this film.
But whether it was the investment amount or the suggestion of the opposite Chinese character, Zhou Xingxing was rejected by the other party.
He resigned from the position.
A while ago, news came out from Hollywood that they were going to remake "The Green Hornet". Zhou Xingxing was invited by Hollywood again, but the recent news description feels that the deal has collapsed again.
Because Zhou Xingxing wanted to change the character of a Japanese assistant into a Chinese one.
The other party did not agree, so the two parties parted ways.
I can’t hide this. After hearing this, all the directors felt that Zhou Xingxing was quite upright.
Guan Ling is also wondering whether there is any possibility of cooperation with Zhou Xingxing in the future.
Chow Xingxing is definitely willing to enter Hollywood. For directors in Hong Kong, Hollywood can be said to be one of their ultimate dreams.
If you don’t want to enter, you won’t accept the invitation in the first place.
But others will not give Zhou Xingxing enough rights, but Motian Lingyun can give it...
"Shoplifters" has been filmed?" After the meeting, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Jiang Wen both came to follow up. Chat with Ling.
"We have just finished filming. The music and other work have been completed in advance, otherwise it would be too late."
"Cannes registration will not be long, and the list of major categories will be announced before the end of April. You You have to hurry up." Tian Zhuangzhuang said, "This year's review in China seems to have decided on Shu Qi."
"It's about time, but I will definitely have to work overtime."
……
The global box office of "Taken" still exceeded 340 million US dollars.
The long tail effect of this movie is very long. When this report card was sent to the desk of Lionsgate Pictures, Gai Naote's email was also sent to Guan Ling.
"Lionsgate Pictures is about to start negotiations. Frank wants to know if you have any plans to go to the United States in the near future."
Guan Ling is not surprised by this result, but Frank can wait until this At that time, Guan Ling didn't expect it.
"Going to the United States will take at least May or June." Guan Ling thought for a while.
But that afternoon, Frank took the initiative to call Guan Ling.
"Congratulations, Guan, your results have successfully convinced me. I think we can start subsequent negotiations."
Frank goes straight to the point.
"Frank, compared to three months ago, Ferris Lingyun is going to increase the price now. Are you ready?"
Guan Ling's words are also more direct.
"Of course. If I were you, I would also increase the price." Frank's mood was quite stable, and it seemed that all this was within his expectations.
"Then I hope that our negotiations can achieve the best results." Guan Ling said, "My legal team will arrive in the United States in advance to negotiate with Lionsgate Film Company."
< br>“It’s what I want.”
Guan Ling’s inner thought about Lionsgate Film Company is that it would be best for him and the other party to hold shares in each other. In terms of share, Guan Ling certainly hopes that he can get more of the other party’s shares. .
But this negotiation will be quite difficult.
But this is not necessary for Guan Ling. Even if both parties hold the same shares of each other, it will not be a loss for Guan Ling.
After all, future Hollywood movies don’t necessarily have to be skyscrapers.
But for the specific details, Guan Ling only has a rough idea and needs to be negotiated by the legal team.
After all, the other party will also worry that after holding shares in each other, one company will no longer make new movies. This must be stipulated in the contract.
......
The publicity for "Xiu Chun Knife" has become increasingly popular.
But at this time, Lu Chuan's speech on the platform made Guan Ling feel a little disgusted.
""Nanjing Nanjing!" is about to be released. I am very grateful that director Guan Ling was able to discover an old drama actor like Fan Wei, so that Fan Wei could transform from a sketch actor into a actor who can deliver Movie actors with more energy.
My movie is very similar to the promotional copy that Director Guan wrote a few days ago.
In "Xiu Chun Knife", there are choices of minor characters. Development.
In "Nanjing Nanjing!", I am also preparing to restore the darkest chapter in history from the perspective of small characters.
Of course, I hope this movie can achieve the box office results of Director Guan, then I will be very happy.
Because that means that Chinese audiences can accept more movie types and movie impressions. ”
