Chapter 356 Okay, then let me open your eyes to you Baga!
Industry insiders generally believe that August is the last fat month for the summer season.
When this month passes, it will fall into a low ebb for a month, and then it will be the National Day battle.
This year's National Day release, due to the scheduled release of "Tangshan Earthquake", the industry is actually under a lot of pressure. Almost everyone knows that when Guan Ling's own film is temporarily released, the industry currently wants to work with Feng Xiaogang and The defeat of the movie connected to the Tangshan earthquake can be said to be full of difficulties.
On this piece of fat, "Inception" was the first to eat most of it.
On August 21, the total domestic box office of "Inception" exceeded 1.4 billion, breaking the haze that had shrouded "Avatar" for half a year. This not unexpected result really gave the Chinese director the greatest encouragement!
"No. 1 in Chinese film history! Guan Ling, Nolan's "Inception" topped the mainland box office! It lasted 36 days! Guan Ling, in addition to being the fastest to set a box office record of 1.3 billion, completely surpassed "Avatar" 》
“One family dominates!” “Inception” continues to break records, and all kinds of opponents have been defeated! The total box office in North America has exceeded 300 million US dollars! 2》! ”
“Can Leonardo win the award for his acting skills? Will “Inception” win the Golden Globe Award? ”
“A movie? , the two who created China’s leading box office, reveal the crazy lives of Liu Yifei and You Benchang! ”
"The masterpiece of the summer has finally been recognized. In addition to the mainland film market, "Inception" has grossed US$389 million in overseas markets, triggering a global dream craze!"
"Beyond "Blade Runner", "The Matrix" ", "Inception" became Guan and Nolan's master blockbuster! "
On Guan Ling's way to Hollywood, "Inception" first made the Chinese mainland film industry completely speechless.
Whether it is "City Alert" or the upcoming Hollywood movie, they were completely torn into pieces in this battle that was destined to be unwinnable.
"City Alert" grossed 60 million in six days and 80 million in half a month.
After people's excitement subsided, the 100 million investment in this movie completely disappeared after experiencing the early excitement.
It has become the most tragic domestic film.
But his misfortune was only at the box office.
The movie "Shibo Mobilization" completely disgraced Chinese cartoons.
Especially after Guan Ling previously said that he would make an animated film, this film has received far more attention than before.
Then Douban exploded.
“Work hard to get the lowest score on Douban!”
“Seeing so many people crying and crying. I feel desperate. It is not this cartoon or the World Expo that is desperate. But everyone is so serious about how and why this movie is bad, just like people are asking why shit smells so bad. There is no answer in itself!"
"I originally wanted to remember "Crazy". I lost my childhood when I was watching "Havoc in Heaven", but I didn't expect that after watching it, I would have insomnia for three nights in a row! But I couldn’t help but say something. I personally stepped into the theater, and I felt extremely sorry!”
“It is suspected of breaking “The Story of lf”, which will soon become the king of animated films, Douban. The number one bad movie king!”
The crowd laughed.
You must know that after the cartoon "The Story of lf" was released, it was called a terrible masterpiece that caused people to go crazy in three minutes, causing psychopathic endocrine disorders and insanity!
But this kind of cartoon has still been surpassed.
In fact, in addition to the shocking voices in the hearts of domestic netizens, they also hate that iron cannot become steel!
Especially some viewers who love animation finally gained some hope due to Guan Ling's call.
It was smashed to pieces at this moment.
"I just dubbed it," Cheng Long called Guan Ling, feeling a little tired, "I was almost scolded by these netizens."
"I saw the news, please forgive me."
Guan Ling had never seen this movie in his previous life, or even heard of it. He also did not expect that he had said it too early at that time, which would lead to this movie in this life. Received a lot of attention.
Then it collapsed.
Guan Ling was confused at first, how bad could a cartoon like this be?
Then he looked.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, Guan Ling almost couldn’t eat when he saw it.
Guan Ling was not surprised when Cheng Long called him. After much thought, he could only say a word of condolences.
Cheng Long was numb. After hearing Guan Ling's answer, he laughed angrily.
"Is he already in Hollywood now?"
"Yes, I contacted Guyot before and the early stage scenery has been almost completed. I personally screened it in the past few days, and after going through it, Shooting is about to begin."
"Fan Bingbing hasn't arrived yet?"
"She has an award ceremony and will be here in two days.
“I really didn’t expect you to write a movie for her.” Although Cheng Long’s voice was tired, he was very excited to hear the gossip, “I thought you just liked Xiao Liu’s childishness. "
"It's the same even if the lights are turned off."
"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with that." After hearing Guan Ling's joke, Cheng Long finally couldn't stand it anymore and laughed. Twice.
"When will "Taken 3" be released? Is there any word yet?"
"The November schedule is almost there, and production is almost done now."
"I'm so tired these days. I'll make a movie with Zhang Li next year and plan to be a director for two days." Cheng Long said, "Director Zhang was full of praise for you and said that the movie "The Ming Dynasty" almost sucked." , you can bring TV back to life with just a few words."
Guan Ling thought for a moment and realized that Cheng Long was talking about the movie "Revolution of 1911".
"Speaking of which, Director Zhang and I haven't seen each other for two or three years." Guan Ling also chatted casually.
"He can pay attention to your news at any time. This movie is a gift film. Just like your TV series "The Awakening Age", you are also awesome. A TV series can be so shocking. The whole There is only one person in China who is unique in the world. "
The purpose of Cheng Long's call was actually not animation. After chatting for a few words, he finally got to the point.
“I heard from Mr. Yang that you are going to make a splash in Hong Kong movies in the future?”
“You are just talking, but the script is not even written yet.”
"Do you have any ideas? I think about your scripts when I sleep now. Although I want to be in Hollywood forever, if you have any Hong Kong movies, I will definitely watch them."
< br>"Brother, one thing is almost certain. Even if it is filmed, I'm afraid there won't be a role for you."
There is no need for Guan Ling to lie on this point. If he wants to make a film, it will definitely not be an action film. This is fine. Tell Cheng Long clearly.
"Okay, that's a pity!"
Hearing these words, Cheng Long probably knew it and had an idea in his mind.
"Have you read the online news? Recently, this animation has caused you a lot of trouble."
"This little thing has no impact."
Guan Ling said, "Netizens also love and hate your animation deeply. After all, your animation is really difficult to criticize."
"It's bad if it's bad, and you're too embarrassed to say it!"
Cheng Long couldn't help but laugh on the other end.
"I'd rather say something else, but you may not like to hear it."
"What?"
""Shrek 4" is also a cartoon, This animation will be released soon, and I will scold you even more harshly.”
…
Hollywood.
After meeting Gai Naote, Guan Ling looked at the other directors. James Wan's "Aquaman" is currently filming intensively.
The preparations for "The Twilight Saga 3" are also in full swing.
"Taken 3" is only waiting for its final release.
The performance of "Inception" in North America can be regarded as completely shocking everyone in North America.
And the news that Guan Ling came to Hollywood did not stop the Sixth Group at all.
"Guan, Forbes, Lionsgate, and Warner all want to meet you."
Not long after, invitations from several places were sent to Motian's mailbox.
Gai Naote immediately reported it to Guan Ling when he found out.
“We are here just to talk about the investment share, let’s talk about it later.”
For this "Scarlet Witch", the share was finalized through communication with Fox and DC, and the two parties acted as copyright Fang, naturally needs some support.
As for Lionsgate, as a strategic partnership, Guan Ling is more aware of the shock that "Inception" has brought to Frank. This guy may not be able to sleep well.
But Guan Ling is going to finish handling the crew's affairs first, and everyone understands this.
……
The Changchun Film Festival awards ceremony was held in mainland China in August, and Xiao Yanzi won the Best Actress.
This is the second time she has won it, after she was sealed here four years ago.
The best actor award went to Zha Zhahui.
As a film festival in the Mainland that is not that powerful, the buzz about the two winning awards was not even as small as "The Journey", which gained a reputation through tap water.
And now, after ten days of word-of-mouth fermentation.
The single-day box office of "On the Road" increased instead of falling!
As a low-cost comedy film, Guan Ling only invested in the film and did not even supervise the film. Therefore, at the beginning, the industry paid more attention to other films.
But as the movie’s Douban reputation spread, it exploded instantly.
The box office suddenly fell into a downward trend.
Netizens paid relatively little attention, and by the time they found out, several days had passed.
Then, media propaganda began to fail on a large scale.
“It is a sincere small-to-medium-cost film. Guan Ling’s spirit of encouraging the director is worthy of encouragement. The sincerity of the film itself is even more worthy of everyone’s contribution of a movie ticket!”
“Beyond Anticipation, bringing smiles and warmth at the same time! "The Lost Road" may create a market for warm comedy films! "
"A collaborative version of "A World Without Thieves" and "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots", a film about a small character. A road movie about returning home during the Spring Festival, a movie that will always make people remember Wang Baoqiang! ”
"A sincere work of a domestic film, a very nutritious low-cost comedy fast food! Life is so difficult that it is no match for the words 'just go home'. How many strangers can be touched by a movie?!"
"Bitterness" There is joy, there are tears in laughter, the Spring Festival is a big drama, Chinese movies have Guan Ling's "Inception" to sweep away the haze of "Avatar", but this is not enough. This "People on the Road" may be the only Is it the epitome of the rise of Chinese movies? ”
“A beautiful wife, a moral mistress, and social harmony are vividly displayed in this movie!” The first-day box office was an accident with Guan Ling's blessing.
The decline for several consecutive days is a cycle.
But five days later, the box office trend of this movie really made many theaters dumbfounded.
Guan Ling just cast a movie and he wants to make a lot of money? !
The theaters are happy to see this kind of small gain, and the managers are red-eyed!
After that, the roles of Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang instantly became a classic in August.
More than ten days have passed, and the box office of this movie has reached more than 50 million!
People in the industry are a little numb.
“A five-million-dollar movie, you won’t break over 100 million in the end, right?!”
Grab the money!
Film and television experts in the industry were shocked and didn’t understand!
Many professional film and television people have also begun to study this movie crazily, trying to understand why this dark horse can break out of the August blockbuster schedule.
No one expected that this movie could survive among films such as "Inception" and "City Alert".
And it’s very moisturizing!
Guan Ling is receiving box office reports in Hollywood.
Xu Zheng’s good news call came, and he was in high spirits as he spoke.
From worrying about gains and losses at the beginning, to now not recognizing his relatives when leaving home, he has made rapid progress!
But he still hopes that he can go further, and the opportunity to go further naturally lies with Guan Ling.
"Director Guan, I'm done!"
Xu Zheng's smile spread directly from the capital to Los Angeles.
......
As August entered, no one expected that the news of the "Tangshan Earthquake" would once again sweep the Internet.
""Avatar" and "Inception" make 3D and IMAX lead the 'giant screen trend'! "Tangshan Earthquake" launches IMAX version!"
As the saying goes, where can I find it? Make money.
Fashion is everywhere.
The script of "Inception" is so awesome that no one can learn it. Then they can't learn the spirit, so they learn the form. For a time, 3D trends appeared frequently.
And at this stall.
A Hong Kong movie directly led the world trend.
As a sq movie currently being filmed, "ThreeDrp Group" has a lot of gimmicks and has attracted a lot of coverage from international media. Whether it is CNN or AFP, there is a lot of space. CNN A special interview was also conducted with the director.
This "Blissful Mirror" scored a big mark for Hong Kong movies in August, firmly grasping the reputation of being the first 3D hand-processed movie in history!
There is another point that the industry is paying attention to, and that is because "Hustler" magazine has invested a while ago and announced the start of filming the 3D version of the A-level movie "Avatar"!
It took away a lot of heat from the news circle.
But the news will always focus.
At the end of August, before Guan Ling was about to participate in the Venice International Film Festival.
Guan Ling previously claimed to be involved in animated movies, "Shrek 4" had a box office of 53 million in its first week, and "Expo" triggered ridicule from netizens. A series of news gathered together, and finally a bomb broke out in Japan.
The famous Japanese animation director Makoto Shinkai took the initiative to post a tactful attack on Chinese animated films online.
“Chinese animated films are developing rapidly, and “World Expo Story” demonstrates the advantages of Chinese animated films. If this process continues, Chinese animated films will eventually surpass Japanese animated films.”
This strange atmosphere completely triggered a climax among Japanese netizens.
For a while, there was constant ridicule.
From an internal discussion in China, it instantly evolved into an international incident between China and Japan.
"This guy doesn't think it's a big deal. This is naked yin and yang."
Cheng Long called again and was very dissatisfied with this Japanese director.
"Okay, then I will open the eyes of these little Baga!"
Guan Ling narrowed his eyes after hearing the news.
Guan Ling said this on the phone.
