Chapter 353 New script!
This year’s Venice International Film Festival is actually a relatively special year.
Mark Muller, chairman of the Venice Film Festival, will hold the last one this year, and he will step down in the first half of next year.
There is only one Chinese-language film participating in the award competition this year, "Jia Biangou", which is basically useless. In addition, Wu Baige will premiere in Venice with his "Sword Rain" will be released,
Then there will be the movie "Fist of Fury: Chen Zhen". Liu Weiqiang previously revealed in an interview that he will take Donnie Yen and Shawn Yue to participate in it.
Other than that, there are no more troubles for Chinese-speaking people.
Guan Ling has no connection with Mark Muller, but the reason why Guan Ling went this time was because of Quentin's kind invitation.
Originally Quentin contacted Guan Ling and wanted him to be a judge in Venice this time.
But Guan Ling didn’t have the time, so he declined.
But after Quentin contacted Mark Muller about this matter, he decided to let Guan Ling show up at the award ceremony, which was regarded as a good wish for Mark Muller.
After all, during this old guy's tenure, he won three Golden Lion Awards for Chinese-language films.
Actually, it's more than that. In 2005, Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" won the Golden Lion Award. Although it is not a Chinese-language film, it is still closely related to Chinese-language directors.
In fact, in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, in four years, the Golden Lion Award was basically won by Chinese directors.
In this case, Guan Ling, as the first mainland Chinese.
This is the card that Mark Muller wanted to invite the most before he retired.
It doesn’t matter whether there is a movie or not.
This is what the other party said.
Guan Ling also had nothing to say.
After all, it will be September by then, and Guan Ling's new movie has basically started shooting in Hollywood.
It won’t waste much time in the past.
Quentin had helped Guan Ling a lot in Hollywood before.
What’s more, Quentin invited him kindly this time, so Guan Ling couldn’t help but give him no face at all.
I can only accept it.
But now in Japan, it was discovered that after Venice announced the film list, there were no Chinese films in the main competition, and a group of people ridiculed Guan Ling.
But I didn’t expect that Guan Ling would be Venice’s special guest this year.
Now, netizens at home and abroad are happy.
"Guan Dao has a bad temper. This little Japanese is actively looking for trouble."
"I won't give little Japan a slap in the face when the time comes."
"It's hard to say. I still remember Director Guan's evaluation of Japan when "Nanjing, Nanjing" was released. This guy is definitely a populist."
"If we don't forget that historical hatred is populist, I I spit in your face!”
Media with good intentions took the initiative to block the door of Lingyun Media and wanted to interview Guan Ling.
Fortunately, they were blocked.
"Director Guan, this is your first time at the Venice International Film Festival. Is Director Guan going to say something to Japanese fans?"
"I know you want to use my answer to gain traffic," Guan Ling said, "But I really don't have anything to say. If I really want to say something, please continue to pay attention to "Inception". When the animation comes out, the movie will answer it for me."
Guan Ling said. Ling was very busy, so he didn't bother to fight with those little baggers on the Internet.
As July comes to an end.
The movie "Scarlet Witch" is basically on the agenda.
In fact, Guan Ling had already given Gainaote the script of this drama, and the specific content had already been adjusted. Fan Bingbing is the absolute heroine of this movie.
Due to Marvel and other movies, Guan Ling is really unable to intervene.
And "Scarlet Witch" is closely related to them.
This attempt was worth it for Guan Ling.
......
"Director Guan, I'm going to turn on the phone."
After the actors for "Wonderful West and East" were confirmed, Ning Hao turned on the phone very quickly .
Some time ago, Ning Hao's mentality was a little depressed because he was frequently stuck in "No Man's Land".
This time, with a script written by Guan Ling himself, and it was the first film dedicated to a school in China, and it was aimed at Tsinghua University, Ning Hao was very nervous.
Afraid of screwing up.
During this period, he was under a lot of pressure, which made Xing Nana feel a little painful when she got up every morning.
Xing Nana didn't know whether to thank Guan Ling or scold Guan Ling.
Xie is directing a script that can revive her husband's glory.
She hated it because Director Guan's script was too strong and she couldn't stand it.
But after Ning Hao finally set the time for the launch conference to be held at Tsinghua University, it still caused quite a stir in the industry.
Guan Ling did not participate in the launch conference.
But the topic never bypassed him.
Just a few days ago, "The Age of Awakening", as a gift TV series under Guan Ling, broke the record for the copyright sales price of Chinese TV series, and it almost doubled in one fell swoop.
This time "Wonderful West and East" gave Ning Hao too many additional contrasts.
"Director Ning, the script of this drama was written very quickly from the time it was released to the start of production. What is your evaluation?"
"It's useless for you to ask me about this. I am an executor, I have no ideas." Ning Hao said with a smile, "Director Guan's script really has nothing to do with who is filming it. Many people in the industry know this very well, so you can ask this question. It means you still have to practice.”
Ning Hao’s self-deprecating speech exploded the scene.
The media at the scene thought about how Ning Hao would praise Guan Ling, but in the end they did not expect that Ning Hao would directly speak in a self-harming manner.
The reporters were stunned.
The actors on the scene also laughed.
Huang Xiaoming was interviewed and asked why he chose such a movie?
Huang Xiaoming is very honest: "Director Guan's script, Director Ning's director, Tsinghua University's gift film, I am not the only one in the industry who wants to act in it."
This is very sincere, but it makes Many actors in the industry directly break the defense.
When asked about Zhu Yawen, Zhu Yawen’s answer was even more direct.
“I received a call from Director Guan at that time. He said he had a role, so I came.”
I didn’t ask about the script, the content of the role, or even the salary.
He said yes, so I came.
The emotions of the actors who saw the news were very complicated, especially other actors under Wang Jinghua,
Zhu Yawen and Guan Ling have a very good relationship, which is actually not a secret in the industry.
So many actors dare not offend Zhu Yawen. Some actresses in the crew are like the older brother to Zhu Yawen.
But Zhu Yawen was tied up, he only dared to be short, not long at all.
But his words made almost all the actors in the industry feel upset.
A few words determine the role, and it is Guan Ling’s role, a being that no one can look up to.
……
“I’m talking about Director Guan Da, Zhu Yawen is a person who knows how to make people popular. He can just chat casually for a few words, but when he says this, the circle will explode.”
< br>Liu Yifei called Guan Ling, "Shu Chang told me that Zhu Yawen was just pretending to be cool and was struck by lightning. Others couldn't get roles even if they wanted to. He was waiting for you to call and invite him personally."< br>
"Actually, I heard what you meant," Guan Ling smiled, "Did Shu Chang turn your back on me?"
"I can't hide anything from you,"
< br>
A smile appeared on Liu Yifei's lips, "Shu Chang wants me to help her ask if there are any roles suitable for her in the two TV series you mentioned before, Yang Mi."
"Yes, there are, and she is willing to give them "Yang Mi as the voice actor?"
Guan Ling asked, there are many female characters in "Palace", and it is not difficult for Shu Chang to get one. In the original version, there is actually a character named Shu Chang.
This guy is actually a pity.
I wasted my popularity when I was most popular, and then I failed to recover. After Guan Ling finished speaking, Liu Yifei fell silent.
After a while, she said, "If you don't play Yang Mi, do you have a suitable role for her?"
As Shu Chang, it's good. My best friend, Liu Yifei, as a leading actress in the entertainment industry, naturally does not want Shu Chang to play the role of Guan Ling and then back to Yang Mi.
But she couldn't say this directly at the beginning, which seemed like Shu Chang was greedy.
And Guan Ling's straightforward words made her feel inexplicably moved.
Because since Guan Ling said this, he must have something in mind.
"Actually, there is a movie that I have wanted to make for a long time. As you reminded me just now, I think she is quite suitable."
"Really?"
< br>"It's just suitable. If she doesn't do well in the audition, I won't be lenient to her just because she is your best friend."
Guan Ling said.
Liu Yifei and Guan Ling have been together for a long time, so she can naturally recognize Guan Ling's tone.
There are more elements of teasing,
"Thank you."
"Just say thank you?" Guan Ling said with a smile.
"Wait for me a moment."
Liu Yifei was obviously a little excited, and then Guan Ling waited for about half a minute before Liu Yifei's voice continued to come out of the phone.
"How about coming to my house?"
"Aunt Liu?"
"She plays mahjong." Liu Yifei said, "She stayed out all night today."< br>
Guan Ling:…….
After hanging up the phone, Mother Liu gave Liu Yifei a thumbs up,
"Are you stupid, girl? As soon as this call is made, our family will be a battlefield today. This is how feelings are, Now I will give you some favors, and now you will give me some favors. This kind of affection is cultivated over and over again.”
“Inception” has been released for half a month. , you are very busy, traveling around to promote, he is also very busy, press conference here, new script there, as the saying goes, after a long drought, I will go out and stay in the hotel today."
Mother Liu's words are very special. Vigorous, Liu Yifei's face suddenly turned red.
Liu Yifei's eyes widened after hearing the words "our home is a battlefield today".
"Mom, can you pay more attention to your image in the future!"
Liu Yifei was speechless.
"Some words are not wrong to say openly."
Mother Liu turned a blind eye to Liu Yifei's words and just patted Liu Yifei on the shoulder.
"But now it seems that he still values you very much. Being able to write a script for Shu Chang shows that he still cares about your friend."
"Of course, you have to pay attention too. , after all, Shu Chang is the same age as you..."
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
At this time, Liu Yifei was really stunned, "That's my friend. "
"You should be more careful."
Mother Liu was too lazy to say anything and turned away.
……
After entering Liu Yifei’s home.
What greeted Guan Ling was a pair of gorgeous red lips.
"Your mother really went out to play mahjong?" After kissing for more than a minute, Guan Lingcai held Liu Yifei's face and asked her with a smile.
"Yes."
Guan Ling was sitting on the sofa, with a faint smile on his lips, and pointed to the coffee table. There were two glasses of water on it at the moment, which was still hot. .
“Hey.”
Seeing what happened, Liu Yifei immediately covered her face in shame.
Then she looked at Guan Ling through the gap between her fingers and said timidly, "My mother just left."
"Now it seems that Auntie completely agrees with us? ”
Not only did she completely agree, she almost washed me and put me on your bed. Liu Yifei nodded speechlessly.
A dragon king's smile appeared on Guan Ling's lips. He still remembered that when he took Liu Yifei to Hollywood for the first time, Liu's mother guarded him like a thief.
But now, everything has changed.
In order to clear the battlefield for herself, Liu’s mother left decisively and smoothly.
Actually, Guan Ling has been to Liu Yifei's house many times before, but he has never played an away game here.
This arrival gave Guan Ling a different feeling.
The two chatted for a few words about Shu Chang’s movies. Guan Ling didn’t go into details. He was thinking about the movie “Genius Gunfighter”. Shu Chang looked like a top student and his acting skills were adequate. He acted in this movie. The play is more than enough.
Liu Sisi, Yang Mi and others are actually not that suitable.
Liu Yifei can actually act, but Guan Ling doesn't want Liu Yifei to play the second female lead. Liu Yifei is too beautiful.
No matter how much makeup is used to make her look ugly, it may be difficult to complete the look.
After the chat, Guan Ling hugged Liu Yifei and nestled on the sofa to watch TV.
"By the way, what is your TV series about? Why is it so expensive?"
Liu Yifei suddenly remembered and asked.
“Now that I’ve said it, what will you think about it then?”
Guan Ling said with a smile, “And it’s a long story, so I won’t spoil it for you yet.”
"Okay."
Although the two of them were hugging each other, their hug was getting tighter and tighter.
Liu Yifei is actually under a lot of pressure during this period. Her frame is not actually wide, but she is not thin or small either. There is a lot of flesh where there is flesh, and the skin is very slippery and can be broken by a blow.
Guan Ling's hands are becoming more and more dishonest.
It's like stroking a big doll.
Liu Yifei's ears are getting redder and redder.
"Thank you."
Suddenly, she took the initiative to turn around and hug Guan Ling, "I know that you can choose anyone for your movie roles, and you can give Shu Chang the role , It must be related to me.
Actually, I just wanted to help her ask, and I have no other intention."
"It's okay," Guan Ling said, "I want to do it in the next time. Filming for Fan Bingbing is indeed a bit of a snub, so I should compensate you." "What?" Liu Yifei was a little confused, "To compensate me, I gave the movie to Shu Chang."< br>
Seeing Guan Ling smile, Liu Yifei suddenly realized, "Are you kidding me?"
"Here in China, we can actually make a few movies first to maintain the popularity. Next Once, you are no longer the third character in "Inception" Guan Ling touched Liu Yifei's head and said slowly.
"Although I am very touched, when I think about you going to Hollywood in the next period of time and not being able to see you for a long time, I miss you very much."
Liu Yifei Dudu He said, "It's so annoying in our circle. Lovers disappear easily."
"My lover, disappeared?"
Guan Ling was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yifei looked a little strange at Guan Ling's abnormality.
“I thought of a script.” Guan Ling said, “I promised Zhang Ziyi to help her before, but you reminded me.”
