Chapter 369: News that makes actors in the industry dream about it! Shocking giant cake!
On the evening of October 6, 2010, Beijing time, Zhang Yimou appeared for the first time after being chased and intercepted by the media. What he said next completely ignited the entertainment industry.
“Zhang Yimou’s interview confirmed that Guan Ling did write the script to cooperate with him, and Zhang Yimou’s words showed that the two parties have reached a basic consensus.”
“Two famous Chinese directors collaborated on a film, Zhang Yimou was interviewed Claiming that the movie is a comedy! "
"What kind of fairy bureau? After Nolan and Guan Ling collaborated, the two biggest directors in China joined forces"
For a time, the whole Actors and managers in the entertainment industry were all stunned and shocked.
Now that things have happened, no one treats this news as gossip anymore.
Zhang Yimou confirmed it personally.
Although there is no official announcement or statement, Zhang Yimou's attitude and smile seem to show that he is very satisfied with the script.
For a time, all practitioners in the domestic film and television industry were dazzled by this news. After Guan Ling's silence for about two months, Guan Ling once again became a hot topic in the circle!
Some movie promotions, some entertainment gossip, and even the box office results of currently released movies,
none of them seem to be more important to the industry than this movie.
Countless news was directly and completely suppressed!
......
Before the news of the collaboration between Guan Ling and Zhang Yimou was revealed, the entertainment industry during the National Day holiday had already begun to become lively.
This is also the market’s recovery after a slight bleak period after the summer holiday season.
This year’s film industry is a melee of masters and a chaotic dance of demons.
The excitement is inevitable.
Although in the first half of the year, Guan Ling played the absolute protagonist!
Whether it is the comprehensive crushing of "Taken 2", the release of "The Wind", or the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film,
Or the premiere of Tsui Hark's "The Dragon King", Guan Ling's "Source Code" completely opened the door to China's domestic science fiction movies,
and then won the Cannes Best Actor in Cannes after a ten-year absence, and then A tribute film co-produced with Tsinghua University,
"Father Trapped in Time" caused everyone to burst into tears, and then "Inception" swept away the "Avatar" brought to Chinese films Haze,
Then the official announcement of the animated film project, the revenue of "A Lost Journey" stunned the eyes of the industry, and "The Age of Awakening" broke through the TV industry.
These are all related to Guan Ling,
Guan Ling has always been the symbol leading the Chinese film and television industry!
In the schedules with and without him, he created one climax after another!
While the audience was excited, the box office also grew by leaps and bounds, and records were repeatedly set!
The constant emergence of new box office highs stimulates every director,
It also firmly leads China's movie box office market and encourages directors who currently want to make movies to enter this circle.
But after "Inception" is released, Guan Ling will inevitably fall into a period of stagnation.
People always need to rest.
Now he is filming his new movie in North America, invisible and intangible, and the news directly related to him has finally been temporarily invisible.
But there is never a shortage of new things in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yimou's film "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" has created a classic of pure love literature and art films.
The "Tangshan Earthquake" is currently in theaters. 》The sword is aimed at the National Day champion.
The upcoming "Ip Man 2" has attracted public expectations and has already started publicity.
There is "The Orphan of Zhao", which Chen Kaige has scheduled for the Lunar New Year, and "The Rescue 3", which has been in the Lunar New Year period for three years.
There are many movies that whet the appetite of the industry.
Not to mention that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1" and "Resident Evil 4" have been introduced to China,
It filled everyone's hearts with countless expectations.
Originally, people thought that Guan Ling could not be the protagonist in the two months before "Rescue 3" was released.
After all, the film market will never be monopolized by one person.
Even if all the directors of Lingyun Media combined, it is completely impossible to completely saturate the film market.
Based on the recent media news,
there are only two directors who can be called the protagonists.
One is Feng Xiaogang, who is high-spirited and ready to stand second at the Chinese box office.
Because of the movie "Tangshan Earthquake", he almost didn't know his surname was Feng again.
During this period, he has been stealing the show. Not only has he gained a lot of fame, but he has also done well at the box office!
It is a crushing hit compared to any other movie in the National Day release!
The other one is Lu Chuan, who has just joined forces with Xingmei to prepare for an online audition of tens of thousands of people to select the protagonist Yu Ji in the new movie.
This movie is "The King's Feast",
The movie has currently been confirmed to be directed by Lu Chuan, and has also confirmed two male actors, Liu Ye and Daniel Wu, to star in it.
As a costume commercial blockbuster with an investment of nearly 100 million.
The film is jointly produced by Star Pictures, Emperor Films, Parkland Pictures, Tang Dynasty, Yunying Group and China Films.
It has completely attracted the attention of the industry.
According to an interview with Lu Chuan, it took twelve months to prepare the film. For this reason, he worked hard and carefully crafted it, and spent countless energy on the script of the film. I hope It can bring a different kind of subversion to the story of the "Chu-Han Struggle" in history!
He also claimed that the quality of this movie will not stop fans from waiting!
After "Nanjing Nanjing", Luchan's new movies still have a strong appeal in the industry. Being scolded!
The actor doesn't care about scolding him online.
In the entertainment industry, being scolded is also popular!
But there is one thing. Luc Chuan was very troubled about how to choose the role of Yu Ji.
Qin Lan has broken up with him.
Moreover, Qin Lan was not suitable for this role. After interviewing several well-known actresses, Lucuan thought it would not work.
As the most connected character in the movie, Lu Chuan had no choice but to conduct a nationwide audition for this character, which quickly gained momentum.
And he, Lu Chuan, has become a great director who has been highly anticipated by many movie fans in the industry recently and has been reported by countless media.
For Feng Xiaogang and Lu Chuan,
the two were enjoying a life in the spotlight.
Enjoy box office growth and performance as much as you want, and enjoy the right to cast tens of thousands of people in nationwide auditions.
But everyone really didn’t expect that it was just a piece of news, and even Guan Ling didn’t come forward. Guan Ling directly threw the blame on both of them.
Guan Ling + Zhang Yimou, for the Chinese entertainment industry, this is no longer a pie, but a huge pie!
It’s a completely magical game!
Whether they know each other or not, they are all contacting Ling Yun and Guan Ling at this moment.
Countless people are inquiring and asking,
want It has a place in this movie.
Big coffee and small coffee, almost all of them had deep expectations after this news.
"The King's Feast" is a cake, a cake of Luchuan, a cake with great momentum.
What is the collaboration movie between Guan Ling and Zhang Yimou?
The industry knows it all!
……
I successively got through the phone calls of China Film, Guangxian, Shanghai Film, and Wanda, and also received a call from Xiying in the middle.
As Zhang Yimou’s base camp, Xiying finally connected with Guan Ling this time.
The moment the call was connected, Xiying boss Wang Dong felt inexplicably moved in his heart.
“Director Guan, it’s really difficult for Xiying to work with you once.”
“Director Wang, I don’t even know how to answer what you said. .”
The mood on the phone was slightly awkward. Director Wang also realized that his words put pressure on Guan Ling.
“In any case, this time Xiying will fully support and help you and Director Zhang for their cooperation. If there is anything I can do for you, it’s just a matter of words. ”
Guan Ling knew how much Xiying wanted to cooperate with him.
In the past, as a traditional film studio, they could not afford the money, and their premiums were not as good as those of private enterprises. In the industry, they were even more incomparable with Guan Ling.
Many times they failed to win the bid.
Gradually, the other party also reacted.
Although the share of this new project has not yet been determined, Zhang Yimou’s participation has rekindled their hope.
After all, in this movie, Zhang Yimou must have left the new scene.
The relationship between Zhang Yimou and Xiying, it is normal to set aside a small part to deepen the relationship.
After all, he is the soul of Xi'an's creative circle, and he can be considered a contribution to his hometown.
Guan Ling chatted with Director Wang.
In terms of investment, Guan Ling doesn’t mind Xiying’s participation. Zhang Yimou will definitely build a new company when the time comes, and they can just let them discuss and allocate it themselves.
And the investment in this movie will not be very large, and Guan Ling doesn’t mind bringing more people to play with it.
Now that the group is getting bigger and bigger, Guan Ling hopes that unity can unite, and there is no need to create tension.
Although Xiying has declined.
But it is still one of the four well-known state-owned film studios in China.
How popular was Xiying Studio back then?
In the 1980s, when Germany and Spain translated the four words "Chinese Movies", they directly translated them into Xi'an Movies. What's more, at that time, some domestic theaters were showing them or selling them abroad. Sometimes, films from other film studios will be passed off as West Film's to promote them.
This shows the reputation of West Film's products!
Foreign media even commented on Western Film as “the cradle of new Chinese films”!
In fact, many people don’t know that Xiying Film not only has classics such as "Swordsman of Two Flags" and "Ju Dou".
He also collaborated with Zhou Xingxing on "Journey to the West", which is a very classic film in later generations.
And for this movie, Xiying spent all his wealth, which directly broke the record of Xiying Studio's highest number of releases. In that era, it brought more than 1,000 yuan to Xiying Studio. Thousands of profits.
But at that time, Director Li's tradition had not changed and his ideology was deeply ingrained. This film, which was later called a Chinese classic, was defined as a "begging film" within the West Film Studio at that time!
It's cultural garbage created purely to make money.
After entering the new century, the Chinese film market has undergone tremendous changes. The films of the 1990s were called the swan song of Western Film. The completely commercial operation also led to the emergence of Western Film Group.
But soon, Xiying, which was once world-famous, gradually fell into mediocrity.
Now they no longer define traditional and new art, and they no longer think that marketization is a beggar. However, under normal circumstances, except for some directors in the northwest circle, it is difficult for them to create classic works.
We can use Zhang Yimou's relationship to cooperate with Guan Ling.
This is very good news for Xiying.
......
When the box office of "Tangshan Earthquake" bombarded the industry's attention, the news that Guan Ling and Zhang Yimou collaborated on a new movie gradually spread.
Han Sanpin dialed the phone and asked a question.
"Director Guan, is this a blockbuster movie?!"
"It's not a blockbuster."
Guan Ling couldn't laugh or cry. Over the past few years, Han Sanpin has never changed his habit. He really likes big ones.
Even though he has earned a lot of money and reputation with small and medium-cost domestic films, his obsession and original intention have never changed.
"That's a pity. As the two biggest directors in China, it's puzzling that the collaboration between you two is not a blockbuster. But for a comedy, can the box office be high?"
"Actually, I do too I don’t know how high the box office will be." Guan Ling said honestly, "This movie is just for fun. Let me talk about confidence."
"This is the first time I heard it from you. I have no confidence.”
When these words came out, Han Sanpin was a little surprised, but he became even more curious.
"But no matter what, if China Film has a share, it will share it. I heard that Wang Yong has contacted you?"
"Yes, Xiying is eager to cooperate this time." Guan Ling said , "But even if we cooperate, it will be deducted from Zhang Yimou's share. We will discuss it in detail later. He still has to film "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins"."
Han Sanpin laughed.
"Okay, let's talk about it then. But you are the only one who has the confidence to criticize the director of Xiying." Shadow? "
Guan Ling joked.
"Pretend I didn't say it, hang up."
......
"I announce that the movie "Warring States" has officially been shut down!"
< br>In Jiaozuo Film and Television City, Henan, director Jin Chen looked at the leading actors in front of him and shouted the word "finalization".
In order to truly restore the magnificent war scenes of the Warring States Period, the crew spent tens of millions traveling to Inner Mongolia, Hebei and Henan, setting up scenes in the three places, and building nearly a hundred scenes of various sizes.
We even created a snow scene in the summer, spending millions to purchase hundreds of tons of environmentally friendly food additives to make artificial snow!
It can be said to be a lot of hard work.
When the camera was turned off, director Jin Chen had tears in his eyes.
This is obviously a joyful and exciting story, but at this moment, after the director called out, the leading actors were obviously absent-minded.
"Tiantian, what's wrong?"
The director was a little puzzled and asked after finishing the filming.
“In the new movie directed by Guan and Zhang Yimou, I don’t know if I have any characters in it.”
Jingtian is worried about gains and losses.
The road manager had told her before that they would mobilize all resources to get this role for Jingtian.
But because it is still unknown how many characters and how many scenes will be involved in this movie, Jingtian can only wait.
After saying this, Jin Chen's face fell instantly.
“You are eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, right?”
But he can't say this yet, but others can do it. Jingtian, this is the mother of the funder.
But he also understood Jingtian’s thoughts. He had seen the news.
In the current entertainment industry, if we look at the ranking of resources, Guan Ling’s movie roles rank first, TV drama roles second, and script roles third.
The highest level of roles played by famous directors such as Zhang Yimou is equivalent to Guan Ling's TV drama resources.
And this script written by Guan Ling and directed by Zhang Yimou are definitely the top resources.
Guan Ling and Zhang Yimou are both directors who can decide who owns the characters.
He has no doubt that if two people say that this movie needs a heroine, Chinese actresses will absolutely go crazy for it and even drown the two of them together.
This thing is nothing to envy, he can't compare to it.
