Chapter 409 I said, I will take you here to see it!
"On February 13, local time in the UK, the 64th British Academy Film Awards were announced, and "The King's Speech" became the biggest winner of the 'British Oscars'!"
"The 61st Berlin Film Festival At the end of the festival, "Hawthorn Love" directed by Zhang Yimou did not win the award in the new generation category. The "Crystal Bear" award was finally won by the American film "On Ice" "
""The Orphan of Zhao" was selected for the special exhibition. In the printing unit, Brother Chen Kai was absent, and his wife appeared at the premiere on behalf of Director Chen. The oriental beauty of his wife Chen Hong overshadowed the movie itself. "
"Netizens claimed that the two major directors were under the influence of Guan Ling! The Berlin Film Festival is just trying to show off! Chen Kaige was criticized for being shameless in an interview.”
“Following last year’s ‘60th birthday’, this year’s Berlin Film Festival is a bit bleak. Film festival chairman Koslik was interviewed. Shi said that the 61-year-old "Old Berlin" will return to its origins and discover more new filmmakers, while the "collective absence" of Chinese-language films is just a normal ups and downs and will not damage the close connection between Chinese-language films and the Berlin Film Festival. "< br>
“Director Wang Xiaoshuai, who had a lot of success at the Berlin Film Festival, said in an interview that the essential reason for the absence of Chinese films at the Berlin Film Festival is that there are fewer and fewer film directors who specialize in winning awards abroad. Behind all this is the fact that the Chinese market has taken off due to commercial films.”
“True Grit, a film nominated for 12 Oscars, is the opening film of the Berlin Film Festival. Although the film is not competing for the Golden Bear, it is in Berlin. Heavy publicity has been carried out in the city! It is particularly conspicuous in the advertising spaces of various landmark buildings!"
"After the popularity of Xuri Yanggang's Spring Festival Gala, it was recently reported that Wang Feng refused to use Xuri Yanggang again. "In Spring" copyright caused controversy in the industry! In order to avoid criticism, Wang Feng published a 5,000-word explanation and apology on Weibo. "
"The Wang family released a new poster for "The Grandmaster" at the Berlin Film Festival. Unveiled, a huge poster wrapped around a wall in Berlin! Netizens jokingly called Wang’s movie release time. There is no need to wait for it. It starts in one year, two years is normal, and three years is also normal!”
Before the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony, the attention of the film and television industry these days is almost all on the awards issued by major film festivals.
Wang Feng has already begun to exert his power as a headliner, causing quite a controversy in the industry by not allowing Xuri Yanggang to sing his songs again.
On the road to Toutiao.
The migrant workers group, which came from grassroots and became famous overnight, was completely dumbfounded by a ban on singing.
Most of the movies released during the Spring Festival had very mediocre box office results. No one thought that with the strong publicity campaign of Guangsheng Pictures and the call of Louis Koo and others, "The Strongest Thing" could actually become a Champion among several movies.
Many people in the circle were surprised.
During the seven-day Golden Week of the Spring Festival, "The Strongest Thing" grossed 87 million at the box office.
The movie "I Know Women's Hearts", a remake of Hollywood's urban love comedy "100% Man" starring Liu Dehua, only earned 37 million at the box office in its first week.
The film producer originally wanted to rely on Liu Dehua and Gong Li to join forces to win the Spring Festival box office championship.
I was stunned for a moment.
The Spring Festival is a sweet cake, and many films want a piece of it.
But few people can eat it.
After two films, "New Shaolin Temple" and "I Know Women's Hearts", Liu Dehua was deeply traumatized.
"Director Guan, do you know, I even wore stockings to film this movie."
Liu Dehua called Guan Ling, crying.
"Let's start filming "Detective Dee Series" as soon as possible. Although compared to other movies, Detective Dee is a bit tired, but this role is really praised!"
"You remake it? "It's not a movie, it's a commercial."
Guan Ling had watched the movie "I Know Women's Hearts" in his previous life, and he only remembered that Gong Li became more charming as she got older.
There are dozens of costumes throughout the film, and the photography is full of style and very eye-catching.
The guest appearances by Hu Jing, Anya and Hu Kaili are also full of aura.
It can be regarded as a remake of a popcorn movie without the main plot loopholes.
There are just a lot of advertisements. As an office romance movie, dozens of things involved in it are all featured in advertisements.
Quite criticized!
......
When "Pleasant Goat" was released and earned nearly 100 million at the box office.
There are two more animated films in China that are being officially announced.
One is "Old Master: The Legend of the Little Water Tiger" produced by Huayi, which received very little attention during promotion.
But this movie is adapted from a series of comic books specially produced in Hong Kong. The pair of Old Master and Da Fanshu are well-known to Chinese audiences and have a certain audience, but only very few in the mainland.
The other one is the 3D animated film "Panda Story", which cost 350 million yuan. Its release promotion was extremely popular, and various large-scale official announcements once again swept the industry.
This film is a Sino-German co-production, jointly produced by China Film Group and China Television Films.
It is also the only 3D blockbuster released during the Spring Festival this year.
Fourteen famous speakers were invited to join the dubbing team, and all five members of the Happy Family joined the dubbing team.
During the interview, producer Chen Xiaoxiang had a bright eye and talked eloquently.
But Guan Ling was also mentioned in the conversation, and the words were quite rude.
“We know that Director Guan Ling is planning to get involved in the animated film industry, but animated films are all about the intention. Our film is not following the trend because of the popularity of "Kung Fu Panda", but after many years of development. A project that I had prepared a while ago. Everyone knows that pandas are very popular in China.
In 2006, I contacted relevant parties in Europe. I was among the first people in China who wanted to make animated films. At that time, Director Guan had not fully invested in the animated film market.
Why do I always mention Director Guan? It is naturally because of my respect for Director Guan. Japanese animated films are very good, but Director Guan dared to participate in the Venice Film Festival. Declaring war on the other party, this attitude and momentum are not possessed by other Chinese directors."
He said he respected Guan Ling when talking about his box office predictions.
A smile appeared on Chen Xiaoxiang's lips, and he was evil and arrogant, "Our movie's box office? I'm very confident. 150 million should be enough, right? I think it may be more than Pleasant Goat, and this movie Sixty percent of the cost has been recovered. Many countries around the world have purchased our distribution rights. As long as the box office is about 130 million, we can fully recover the cost.
Me. I think the Chinese animation market is a blue ocean, but maybe director Guan Ling does not need to be involved in opening up this blue ocean. If possible, I would like to try.”
"Director Guan, although this movie has become popular through your promotion, I am just a dubbing artist, and all this has nothing to do with me."
He Jiong, the host of Mango Channel, had previously talked with Guan Ling added his contact information and saw that the film producer was getting more and more outrageous, so he quickly apologized to Guan Ling in private.
Guan Ling said it didn’t matter.
However, he had never seen this movie in his previous life, and Guan Ling was even curious about the other party's theory.
The online promotion is outrageous, and it looks like it will attract a lot of people to the theater.
So Guan Ling paid a little attention. The box office result of 6.85 million on the first day made Guan Ling dumbfounded.
"Director Guan Da, it seems that your appeal is not good. You were dragged out to be a clown, and in the end you only attracted less than 7 million in box office."
Liu Yifei Cackling with laughter.
Guan Ling was speechless and glanced at Douban.
There was a huge quarrel on the Internet because of this movie, and many people even doubted whether Guan Ling could make a good animated movie.
"I am an animation lover. But at this moment I just want to say one thing, horses make mistakes and people make mistakes. It will be a lifelong shame for me to enter the cinema and contribute this ticket."
"Fuck the producer! I watched this movie when I didn’t know the truth. It’s a cartoon not suitable for children. I can’t complain about how bad it is. Several panda gods are extremely correct. Mortal pandas are beyond stupid. The most awesome panda god is actually called Bodhisattva, rz has so many plots that I feel sick to my stomach right now. I don’t know much about Shenma 3D technology, but I believe that this animated film, which is said to have been planned for 6 years and cost 350 million yuan to be an international large-scale production, is in the process of production. It’s not just pencils that are 2B.”
“This film will go down in the history of Chinese animated films because of its bragging and shamelessness. I secretly suspect that this movie is only worth 350 million. The production cost is ten yuan. "
"Three hundred and fifty million dollars, but I have to say that the 3D special effects are too eye-catching."
"Think about the Chinese animation I saw when I was a kid. Looking at this again, I can only lament..."
When Guan Ling was reading movie reviews, he also found that he was also on Douban's death list.
"Warning to Guan Ling, if this is how Chinese animated films are created, I advise you to go home and sell sweet potatoes as soon as possible."
"Block Chinese animated films, if animations after Guan Ling The movie is also a rip-off, so I’m going to curse his eight generations of ancestors!” “Animation movies with the Japanese Empire? Hahaha...”
Only one day after its release, the movie became a hit on Douban. It scored 3.5 points and received favorable reviews from the audience.
Guan Ling felt a chill after watching it and quickly closed Douban.
As he expected, he was indeed involved.
But what made him particularly confused was that such a bad movie could earn 46 million at the final box office...
The final box office of "Old Master: The Legend of the Little Water Tiger" was 260 Ten thousand.
A cartoon has a shockingly low box office, and a movie has a high box office, but the main theme of the movie is a lie.
After Guan Ling officially announced the animated film, this is another outstanding contribution made by Chinese animated films.
But as more and more people were defrauded of money, many people on the Internet began to criticize China Animation. Japanese media reported the official announcement, which triggered collective criticism of Guan Ling by Chinese and Japanese movie fans.
In the face of intensifying public opinion,
“I understand that none of the five guys from the Happy Family were spared. They defrauded children of their money. But does it have anything to do with me?”
Guan Lingren is in Hollywood, but he has been blamed for the unfavorable development of Chinese cartoons.
Many people in the industry feel innocent for him.
Although Guan Ling felt that it had nothing to do with him, in desperation, he still replied with three words on Weibo.
“Wait and see.”
……
Compared to the public opinion war of animated movies, it is extremely frustrating.
But what people are most concerned about is the upcoming Oscar Awards ceremony.
This year’s Oscars can be said to be a fight between gods and goddesses, but most of the films have already appeared at various outposts before.
The only surprise is that films such as "127 Hours" and "Winter's Bone" were selected for the best picture.
Speaking of which, people are generally dissatisfied with the fact that "Father Trapped in Time" was not nominated.
But the rules are like this. The rigid requirement that the dialogue content is no less than 50% makes the film almost locked in the best foreign language film.
Can't make any progress.
Before the Oscars, Guan Ling also entered a period of silence. Apart from filming movies, he did not officially announce any new projects.
For example, I want to collaborate on "Frozen".
However, Guan Ling feels that this project needs to be put on the agenda soon.
As for the director of this movie, Guan Ling is still under consideration.
Lee Unkrich is pretty good, but since this film has been given to him, the world may only know him and not Guan.
So Guan Ling prefers to use newcomers.
When it comes time for the Oscars, Guan Ling can ask Leo Unkrich if he has any recommendations.
…………
Time flies by. On the evening of February 27, 2011, the 83rd American Academy Awards ceremony was held on the red carpet at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, California.
The red carpet shrouded in the sunset was dazzling, and guests of all colors shined, kicking off a gorgeous feast.
Luxury cars drove slowly around the red carpet, and actresses of all colors walked out one after another. They were all wearing exquisitely designed fashionable dresses, with kind jewelry on their arms and chests, exuding Fascinating light.
As an annual movie event where Hollywood movie stars gather together.
At this year’s Oscars, many more Chinese media appeared than in previous years.
Reporters from CCTV, Sohu, Sina, Weibo, Tencent, and various platforms all appear here.
A large-scale Chinese legion was actually formed at the scene.
In the past, few people came to report on the Oscars. Unless a Chinese film was shortlisted for Best Foreign Language Film or other technical awards, people would have deep expectations.
But this time, it was not just a press group that came.
Guan's films have received a total of 13 nominations in various categories, which is more than the nominations of major popular films.
Although this is two against one, who made Guan Ling play two? !
What's more, it just won the Best Director Award at the Golden Globe Awards, and You Benchang won the Golden Globe Best Actor Award.
People’s expectations have been raised to the highest level.
For this reason, this year's Oscars are completely different from previous years, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it.
Major domestic media also attach great importance to it.
In fact, many people have expectations. Can Guan Ling win another Oscar award?
"Best Director?"
Take a step back.
If you can’t win Best Director.
Can You Benchang win the Grand Slam this year?
When the courtesy car slowly stopped in front of the Kodak Theater and Guan Ling just stepped out of the door, he heard countless noises around him.
Many are in Chinese.
"Director Guan, look here!"
"Director Guan, you said on Weibo that you are waiting to see animated movies. Are you planning to slap the faces of those who mock Chinese movies? !”
“Do you think you can still win the best director at this Oscar?”
Guan Ling frowned. It’s really easy to be a reporter now. Some interview topics. It's purely for the purpose of generating popularity and publicity.
Can you still win Best Director? Do I have the final say?
With some cooperation, we took a few photos,
and a few people walked on the red carpet.
You Benchang has lived so long that he has taken everything for granted, but when he saw the red carpet that stretched for hundreds of meters, a fire was ignited in his heart.
Somewhat dazed.
When he was stunned, Guan Ling's voice came from the side.
"You Lao, I said, I will take you to the top three universities in Europe and to see the Oscars."
He turned to look at You Benchang, "Now you are here."
In a daze, You Benchang did think of that phone call, that evening, that unforgettable autumn.
"Yes, I'm really here."
He sighed.
