China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 51 Cooperation with Jiang Wen, bold words
After landing in the magical city, the staff of the Shanghai Film Festival came to pick up Guan Ling.

Not everyone will be picked up by the authorities, but as the director of the Billion Dollar Club, Guan Ling is definitely one of them.

On the red carpet before the opening ceremony, Guan Ling saw Ang Lee, who had just won the Oscar for Best Director, with a big belly and high spirits. He also saw the star of "Schindler's List" and Zun Lung, who was so old. He is still handsome, but I heard he is going to retire.

Guan Ling did not come to participate in the film competition this time. The time for "Suspect" is limited and he can only participate in the film festival in the second half of the year. He is mainly to be a judge for the Asian Newcomer Award. The chairman of the jury is Tian Zhuangzhuang. This is intended to directly participate in the film festival. At the official level, Guan Ling entered the mainstream view.

Guan Ling, who is also a judge, only knows one person, Bong Joon-ho from South Korea.

Guan Ling was so happy that he could prepare for "Parasite". He looked back to see when it would be shot. Guan Ling really didn't think of the movie until he saw this guy.

Xiao Xiba's things are the best if they are stolen. This is called learning from the barbarians and gaining skills to control the barbarians.

On the red carpet, the stars are shining brightly.

Feng Xiaogang is the vice chairman of the judges of the main competition unit this time, and the chairman is Luc Besson.

Guan Ling was a little embarrassed when he saw Luc Besson. The script for Hurricane Rescue had already been registered by him. It would be difficult for him to write such a script again in this life and thus have a new series of movies.There is also a super body, which has also been registered by Guan Ling.

Luc Besson was almost bald by Guan Ling.What a poor old man.

Directors such as Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wen, and Lu Chuan also walked on the red carpet.

Jiang Wen saw Guan Ling and walked over slowly, "You are awesome, don't say anything else. In the commercial film industry, you can kill a domestic director with just two slaps."

"What Director Jiang said was so true, I didn't know how to respond. I grew up watching Director Jiang's films, so I still have to learn more from Director Jiang."

"You're pointing at me." Jiang Wen patted Guan Ling on the shoulder and laughed. "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. But don't you think about when to get a prize or something? Otherwise those people in the seats over there won't admit it."

"Whether you admit it or not, doesn't Director Feng sit in the vice chairman position?" Guan Ling said with a smile. In fact, he can also sit there now.Just the qualifications are not enough.

Next to her, Xu Jinglei also laughed. In 2004, after she won the Best Director Award at the 52nd San Sebastian International Film Festival for "Letter from an Unknown Woman", she was considered a director.

But in fact, she is the canary of Wang Shuo, the boss of the Beijing circle. Because of her, Mrs. Wang ran away with her daughter.Everyone knows about her relationship with Wang Shuo.

But even now in Beijing circles, it is difficult to ignore Guan Ling, a rising star.

Jiang Wen obviously wanted to get closer.

After all, Guan Ling is from Nortel, and Zhang Yimou and Chen Shi are both from Beijing circles. This is determined by the region, but it actually has nothing to do with the school.Later Zhang returned to his hometown and became a big boss in the northwest circle.

Lu Chuan's expression was a little embarrassed. Hoh Xil was a commercial film, so it received investment from Huayi and Columbia. It was finally made into a literary film, and the copyright didn't sell for much. They said they made a profit, but in fact they lost money and the investors were numb. .

Jiang Wen's unintentional words made Lu Chuan feel like he had been slapped twice by Guan Ling.

However, he has been thinking about the script recently, and wants to make a big movie with very grand scenes, which not only has box office appeal, but also has a human touch.Try to polish the script for a few years.

"I heard that junior brother is going to the Oscars?" Lu Chuan meant it. Anyway, he just asked questions that hit his heart.There has been a lot of noise in the news recently, but Guan Ling ignored it.In Lu Chuan's opinion, isn't this just a joke?He must be disgusted with Guan Ling.

"No, it's just an ordinary movie shot in the United States." Guan Ling said calmly, "You don't need to believe the news headlines written by the unscrupulous media. Senior brother, why haven't you made a movie in the past two years? Do you not want to? "

Guan Ling responded softly, which silenced Lu Chuan.He couldn't attract investment. Guan Ling was surrounded by people, but he was ignored in front of the door, and his defense was suddenly broken.

Several people walked forward together. In front of the red carpet, Guan Ling also saw Cheng Long, Lin Zhiling was also there, and the little RB from The Promise was also here. The Night Banquet crew and the Condor Heroes crew all walked on the red carpet.

In fact, Guan Ling has a good impression of Jiang Wen. The director Jiang Wen is different from many domestic directors. He makes many movies because he has something to say and a lot of metaphors.

Just because of a little vinegar, I specially made dumplings for the audience and sealed them in the wrappers. You have to taste the fillings yourself.

Guan Ling read a comment in his previous life, saying that people have three realms of thought, the beauty of ignorance, the pain of lack of knowledge, and the enlightenment of universal knowledge. Jiang Wen is the third category. Many people are the second category. Jiang Wen is the one who thinks The kind of person who wants to tell many people what happened in the past.

He also wants to tell everyone that these things are still happening.

What's more, some people directly praised Jiang Wen's value, saying that he was not a director, but a fireman.

Guan Ling didn't feel the need to reach such a high level, but he had to admit that Jiang Wen was indeed an anomaly among directors.He's a respectable guy.

Within two steps, Lin Zhiling walked over and greeted Guan Ling, cooing.

"Hello Director Guan, although the cooperation was not successful, thank you for considering me. I wish Director Guan's new movie will be a success."

"You have a new project?" Jiang Wen was a little shocked, "Isn't the one in the United States not released yet?"

"I want to do something, all urgent work." Guan Ling's eyes were calm. He saw Wang Zhonglei from Huayi, who was wandering around with red wine in his hand.

"Your speed is really fast, and your key results are not bad." Jiang Wen felt a lot of excitement in his heart. "I have a notebook here, but it always feels wrong."

"I have a book here and I think you can do it." Guan Ling suddenly thought of letting the bullets fly. Guan Ling didn't want to make this movie by himself. In Guan Ling's opinion, he had too many things that he could copy, but let the bullets fly , belongs only to Jiang Wen.

He doesn't want to participate in this metaphor. He just wants to make money honestly. To be happy in life, he must eat and sleep when he should. He doesn't want to preach, he just wants to give fluids.

"I'll find it for you after I've been busy for a while, but my company will have to invest in this book by then." "That's a good relationship!" Jiang Wen was pleasantly surprised, "But let me tell you first, I won't take pictures of bad books. But I always feel like you can surprise me."

With this episode, the two became closer.

Wang Zhonglei came over and said, "Long time no see, Director Jiang, Director Lu, Director Guan." He said hello. Jiang Wen was neither cold nor indifferent. Although the two brothers were also from the Beijing circle, the core staff did not pay much attention to them. Lu Chuan smiled, while Guan Ling stared at him without saying anything.

"Director Guan, if we can't cooperate, we don't have to be enemies." As a socialite of Huayi, he wanted to smile, make money, and not tremble. "Huayi still respects Director Guan very much."

"Respect is why you leaked the news about my movie?" Guan Ling raised his eyelids, "Don't say it's not Huayi, there is no one else."

"This is definitely not our doing. Director Guan has misunderstood, and we will definitely investigate it strictly." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile, "It's okay to worry about Director Guan's youthful temper. But the cooperation can still continue, and now in terms of movies, Huayi after all It’s still a golden sign.”

"Is it a golden sign?" Guan Ling smiled, "It won't be anymore soon."

Then several people left, and Jiang Wen asked: "What's going on? Why did we become enemies."

"If you want a share and a role, you really think I'm a philanthropist. If you don't cooperate and leak information about my movie, you think I'm a three-year-old kid." Guan Ling didn't take it as a big deal.

"These two brothers are just like this. They can't take advantage of each other." Jiang Wen chuckled.

"Junior brother's heroic words are very good. What do you mean they will no longer be a golden brand soon?" Lu Chuan asked.

"It's nothing. We'll see the results in a few months." Guan Ling said with a smile.

Jiang Wen looked at Guan Ling playfully and realized something.

Seeing Tian Zhuangzhuang, Guan Ling didn't say anything else, but Tian Zhuangzhuang taught Guan Ling earnestly, "Being a judge on the jury this time is just a stepping stone. The domestic circle is so big. In terms of seniority, no matter how great the director is, It is inevitable to be unfaithful, and Guan Ling is still young, so if you put your name first, it will be much easier to look back on many things."

Many celebrities came to say hello to Guan Ling and wanted to be in Guan Ling's new drama.

Huang Xiaoming left with doubts and a little confused. He and Guan Ling cooperated well, but the feeling in Guan Ling's words made him feel like he had joined the national army in [-].

The people from Shanghai Film Group blocked Guan Ling in the tea room and came forward to shake hands very enthusiastically, hoping to win some share for Shanghai Film Industry.

"Director Guan, although you are from Nortel, but if you cooperate with us, we will definitely vigorously promote Director Guan's new movie in Magic City. In the future, Director Guan will have film and television resources in Magic City. You’re not at a disadvantage, are you?” He is a very wealthy person and speaks sincerely.

In the end, Guan Ling kept his mouth tight and promised that he would definitely consider the actors in Shanghai and use them if they had the ability.

Guan Ling was asked to go to Shanghai Film Group as a guest, and he had to pry something out of his mouth, but Guan Ling told him that he had a movie to shoot, and he only came here this time to show up for the opening, and he would definitely do it next time.

Before leaving, Cai Yinong came over and wanted to have in-depth cooperation with Guan Ling.

"I know, Director Guan, you may think what I said is a bit abrupt.

But this year, Tangren Film and Television already has the distribution rights for film and television dramas. We will definitely have many projects to do in the next few years. This year we are working on the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" series.

I have been following Director Guan for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him.

In recent days, I have seen that Lingyun Media has begun to recruit artist managers. I believe that Director Guan will have many actors in the future.
If Director Guan is willing, we would like to give priority to actors from Lingyun Media for our Tang Dynasty drama.Director Guan, can you take a look? "

"What do you want, do you want to participate in the investment share, or do you want to join in the industry?" Guan Ling asked.

Speaking of which, Guan Ling has seen the history of Cai Yinong's fortune. This woman is very powerful. From the decline of Hong Kong dramas to the development of mainland TV dramas, this person has been a well-known figure.She is very good at fighting for opportunities. If actors from the Tang Dynasty want to participate in the film industry, Guan Ling is the best director to choose.And she is indeed paying close attention to the trends of Lingyun Media.

"As for the share, it's hard for Tang Ren to vote for it now." Cai Yinong smiled freely, "If possible, I want to be responsible for the actors of Tang Ren, and I can't let them have no chance of the big screen at all."

"If there is a chance, I will contact you." The other party was very self-aware. Guan Ling did not promise, but at least he did not refuse. Cai Yinong was very happy.

Before leaving, Guan Ling thought of something and asked, "What TV series did you just say you were working on?"

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes." Cai Yinong said.

Guan Ling thought of Brother Hu, who seemed to be in a car accident. He also thought of Langya Bang and Immortal Sword Three.

"When I come to Shanghai in August, I will visit your company to see if there are any suitable actors."

Guan Ling said casually that he actually didn't have any scenes to shoot, but since he didn't really hate Brother Hu, he wanted to see if he could change something.

Guan Ling took away the film that needed to be reviewed. This was one of the main purposes of his coming here. Whether or not to watch it was secondary. The Newcomer Award did not attract much attention. All he had to do was follow Tian Zhuangzhuang and vote.

The plane flew and landed in Qingdao.

Director Guan quickly arrived at the filming location and checked the simple scene shot by the assistant director. In fact, the effect was OK. However, Guan Ling wanted to show the style of his previous life, so he asked Liu Yan to re-shoot the scene of taking off her clothes on the beach.

When the assistant director was filming, Liu Yan took off her clothes too quickly.

Not conducive to audience appreciation.
