China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

【Merry Christmas Eve! Modification completed! 】

"Is this news Director Guan's April Fool's Day gift to everyone?"

"A zombie movie?! Can it pass review in China?!"

“Because I couldn’t, I went to Hong Kong to shoot!”

"I knock, awesome!"

Although the industry was in an uproar at the beginning, many people still had doubts in their hearts. Although Guan Ling had officially announced the film before, he said it was a science fiction genre at the time.

But now that the details have come out, people are still more surprised!
However, after the media conducted special investigations, the news spread on the Internet was that this matter was true.

Not only that, the film has only confirmed two male leads so far, and is still missing a female lead and a child lead.

In an instant, the emotions of all the stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau changed from surprise to anticipation!
A new type of movie written and directed by Guan Ling himself!

This is a type of movie that has never been broadcast in China before!
Regardless of whether this movie can be released in mainland China, the mere announcement of this movie will instantly slow down the popularity!

What celebrities in the entertainment industry want is popularity!
Besides, if someone else made a movie of this type, it would most likely not be shown in mainland China, but Guan Ling, who says it can't be shown? !

If there is one person who is an exception in Chinese films, that person must be Guan Ling!

Previously, movies like "The Crucible" and "Confessions" were impossible to be shown in the mainland! But zombie movies are unprecedented! The news that "Resident Evil 4" and "Ip Man 2" competed for the Lunar New Year's Day box office is still fresh in our memory. This movie is amazing!
At one time, countless agencies submitted information about their popular female stars.

It's not embarrassing to be a supporting role to Gu Tianle.

After all, Gu Tianle was also the leading actor in the previous movie "Source Code" which had a box office of 800 million!

In a short while, press releases were everywhere.

The entire Taiwan Straits and Hong Kong and Macau all witnessed Guan Ling’s terrifying influence in an instant.

In Hong Kong, Shu Qi's eyes moved slightly after hearing the news.

"Director Guan said he wanted to support a Hong Kong movie, and this movie came out, so do we have a chance?"

Shu Qi looked at his assistant with a serious look.

The assistant said: "I will talk to Brother Chen and ask him to make his best effort!"

Shu Qi said: "It might be helpful to play the victim more."

It wasn't just Shu Qi. Soon after the news was released, all the female celebrities in Hong Kong were in a collective uproar.

Yuen Wing-yi, Charmaine Sheh, Angelica Zhang, Fiona Sit, Alan Tsai, and even Gillian Chung are all looking for channels, hoping to show their talents in this drama.

In their opinion, since Director Guan chose to shoot this movie in Hong Kong, wouldn't it be the best opportunity for Hong Kong movie stars like them to get the most out of it?

In other words, if this movie is really not released in the mainland, using faces familiar to Hong Kong people will be beneficial to the release and export of the movie in Hong Kong.

Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea still recognize Hong Kong faces.

Gillian still remembers the first time she met Guan Ling at the Golden Horse Awards. She didn't take Guan Ling's casual remark about not taking photos when they were in a relationship seriously.

By the time things break out, it's already irreversible.

But at least she met Director Guan, but she didn't receive any response to the message she sent.

Cai Shaofen, Charmaine Sheh and others have actually already started moving to the mainland, but when they saw that Director Guan was going to shoot this movie in Hong Kong, they immediately put on the brakes as they wanted to have the best of both worlds.

But there is too little information and they don’t know how to play to their strengths.

But it has to be said that the entire industry is no longer calm.

Even Fan Bingbing asked,

"Director Guan, do you think I can do this? How about letting Gu Tianle and I continue our relationship?"

"You don't have time." Guan Ling said, "Besides, the heroine of this play is a pregnant woman. Can you accept that?"

"What? I want to be a pregnant woman for Director Guan?"

Fan Bingbing played dumb, "Then you have to work hard first!"

Guan Ling said: "You wish."

Fan Bingbing shook his head: "To be honest, I will return home soon, I have time."

"You're not going to promote "Second Exposure" and "Scarlet Witch" anymore? You're not going to accept the script for "One Night Surprise" either? They're all female lead roles for you, aren't they much better than you being a supporting role for Gu Tianle?"

"Speaking of 'One Night Surprise', the script is about a pregnant woman," Fan Bingbing said, "It's a story about me looking for a father for my child after I became pregnant."

"If you want to take it, just take it. Don't tell me." Guan Ling said, "It's just a role play in the movie. You don't need to think about it in real life."

Fan Bingbing snorted angrily, "I know, I'll definitely find you when the time comes."

Then she wailed in anger, "Then you should work harder, Director Guan!"

"Just shut up. You keep saying I can't get a word in."

Guan Ling had worked hard on Fan Bingbing before, so even though Fan Bingbing was whining, Guan Ling was still very clear about her next arrangements.

It can be said that as soon as Fan Bingbing stuck out her butt, Guan Ling knew what knowledge she wanted.

"Okay, okay, what a pity." Fan Bingbing heard that Guan Ling was on the highway and was a little speechless.

Guan Ling suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I recently made a TV series here, do you want to film it?"

"According to what you said, I'm about to reach the pinnacle of the film industry, so why should I lower myself to act in a TV series?" Fan Bingbing sneered, "I won't act in a TV series. Am I crazy?!"

"That's true." Guan Ling said, "Although this TV series is very suitable for your temperament, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for you to play the role now. It's just a pity."

"What's the pity?"

"I think this drama will sweep the world," Guan Ling said. "Do you know how popular the Korean Wave is right now? I think this drama will bring it back."

"Pour it back in? Like, pour it in really hard?! I suddenly realized that my voice was a bit too loud just now..."

Fan Bingbing obviously swallowed her saliva. Guan Ling drove the car just now, and she drove it back in the same car. This time, Guan Ling was speechless.

Then the other side said: "How about, let me see the script first?"

Guan Ling said: "In theory, it will have an impact on your status, but your popularity will most likely go up a lot. But after this drama is over, it will be difficult for you to find a TV drama that suits you in the future."

Fan Bingbing nodded to show his understanding.

In fact, she is not that powerful now, but she is very careful in choosing TV dramas.

If she had time, she might as well walk the red carpet, do some publicity, or even play poker with Director Guan.

Instead of trying to make a TV series.

Not only her, Zhou Xun also came to ask about casting, but when she heard that the play required pregnant women, she gave up.

It is obviously inconsistent with his image, and he is just a supporting role, which is meaningless.

……

"Director Guan, how about letting me come?"

Tang Wei’s call came late but it came. “I came back from Korea to make a comeback, but I only filmed a Hong Kong movie called “Wu Xia”. I’m in the mainland now. Maybe it’s because I just made a comeback, so there’s not much news, so I don’t have any roles yet.”

"It's bad. I forgot about you."

Guan Ling said, "But you may have to wait a long time for this play. I have to shoot a play with Liu Yifei first."

"That love movie, right?" Tang Wei expressed his understanding. "This is the first time Director Guan plays the absolute male lead. I didn't expect that he would find love."

Not wanting to listen to Tang Wei's teasing speech, Guan Ling said, "If you have nothing else to do, come back and find me. If you can wait, I can give you the role. But if you want it as soon as possible, I can make a new play just for you."

Guan Ling thought for a moment and said, "It's also love."

"Actor with you?" Tang Wei almost jumped up. "What the hell do you want?" Guan Ling secretly complained, if we have to act, it's you who'll act with everyone, anyway, everyone has seen you.

The stories that happened between me and Tang Wei were more like a diversion, just some excitement.

Still want to play love with me?
Although Tang Wei was a little disappointed, he also took Guan Ling's promise to make a new play for him seriously.

"I'll fly over today."

Tang Wei said, "But my period has come."

Guan Ling said, "Then you should get on the plane later."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Wei couldn't help laughing.

"Let me board the plane later? If I really board the plane, it won't be a plane anymore..."

……

The news of "Hong Kong Trip" caused a sensation in the industry.

Liu's mother even called Guan Ling and said, "New type, not bad, I think Fan Bingbing is pretty good."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Guan Ling was stunned when he received a call from Liu's mother.

"Fan Bingbing's connections have all come to you?"

"I didn't find any connections," Liu's mother said with a smile, "Well, I think Fan Bingbing has cooperated with Gu Tianle before, so this is a good opportunity."

Guan Ling said: "She has contacted me, but she has a lot of plans for the future. There is a high probability that I will not have a chance to act in this play."

"What about Yang Mi?" Liu's mother asked again.

"Yang Mi isn't very suitable," Guan Ling said, "The heroine in this play needs to be at least a little older."

Liu's mother suddenly became interested: "Then I..."

Guan Ling didn't wait for Liu's mother to finish her words and immediately interrupted her, "The character in the play is a pregnant woman."

"Oh my God." Liu's mother smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, she spoke slowly, otherwise it would have been a big joke.

But after thinking about it, Liu's mother felt relieved again, and one could hear surprise in her tone.

"That's great. That's all right. I won't bother you anymore."

After hanging up the phone, Guan Ling couldn't figure out what Liu's mother was calling about.

Beijing.

Liu's mother sent a message to Liu Yifei.

"Mom just asked, the role of Guan Ling in 'Hong Kong Trip' is a pregnant woman, so she needs to be older. You don't have to worry about Guan Ling promoting any new female stars. Even if she finds such a role, the threat is not that big. At least the young ones don't have to be afraid. But, be careful of Fan Bingbing, she has a lot of work here."

Liu Yifei is working diligently as a producer.

Suddenly, she received a message, and after reading it, Liu Yifei's mind went blank.

"Who asked you to ask? What a mess!"

Student Xiao Liu is so nervous!
……

The news of "Hong Kong Trip" has been on the Internet for a day.

Countless female stars’ press releases competed with each other and a battle was waged on Weibo.

Even many netizens, without knowing anything about the movie, simply choose which star is more suitable to play a living person in a zombie movie based on the actresses' appearance.

On Weibo, tens of thousands of people voted.

Many people believe that there were many classic actresses in Hong Kong zombie films in the past, whether it was the purity of Qiu Yueqing, the sexiness of Chan Yau, the coolness of Ng Ka-lai, the sweetness of Yue Hong, the tenderness of Cherie Chung, the purity of Wang Meihua, the wisdom of Sandra Ng, the etherealness of Joey Wong, the strength of Moon Lee, the sweetness of Li Lizhen, the popularity of Wong Siu-fung and the playfulness of Gigi Lai, they were all impressive.

Each of these actresses has injected unique charm and temperament into their roles. Their beauty is not only about their external appearance, but also their inner temperament and acting skills.

It’s difficult to choose a current female star to play the role.

When the voting results came out, Guan Ling discovered that the person with the highest number of votes was actually his mother, Feng Jie.

He was speechless for a moment.

Just kidding, huh?
In the evening, Han Sanpin called and said, "Director Guan made quite a fuss."

"It's all netizens who are praising it." Guan Ling said, "This kind of movie is rare after all, so it must be very topical."

"I've had some discussions with the bureau." Han Sanpin said, "You should calm down a bit recently."

"Calm down?"

Guan Ling didn't understand.

"For the first film, Even if the Wind Rises, someone had to make the decision, otherwise some parts would have to be cut. Then you made In the Dark, the script was very good, but it was a bit challenging. Now for this film, Hong Kong Trip, I want to do my best to get this film released in mainland China, but you haven't given me the script yet, so I can't come to the meeting to discuss it.

But after today's meeting, I have a few points that I need to discuss with you."

Guan Ling narrowed his eyes.

"First of all, there can be content about the Hong Kong government, which I can negotiate, but I won't touch on anything higher than that, I'll stop there.

Secondly, as for the Hong Kong garrison, you have to see how to smoothly deal with it.

Third, I don’t care about the beginning of the film, but there must be a plan in the end, even if it’s just a text, do you understand? The mainland will not remain indifferent.”

Guan Ling understood these three sentences.

"As long as these three points are all right, the movie can be released?"

"A little blood and gore is not a big deal, but at least don't be like that movie Confessions. You know, that thing has no rating in China, and I really can't accept it."

"I understand." Guan Ling said, "It seems that this drama can be shown in mainland China."

"Do you have an idea for the script?"

"Boss Han's idea is the same as my initial overall idea for optimizing this script." Guan Ling said, "To be honest, if Boss Han can't help me get this play released, I'd feel really bad."

"There are so many movies, it's nothing to regret." Han Sanpin said, "It's just a zombie movie, not a classic."

Guan Ling paused.

"I'm not exaggerating, Mr. Han, this movie should be able to surpass the current Chinese movies by ten years. Of course, except for myself."

Han Sanpin was slightly stunned.

"Ten years ahead of current Chinese films? A zombie movie? I don't believe it."

Guan Ling said, "There are many things that Mr. Han doesn't believe. But you have to admit that without me, what would Chinese Film be like now?"

This time, Han Sanpin didn't speak for a long time.

Just lost in thought.

After a while, he finally shouted.

"Just make sure the above three points are roughly the same," he said in a humming voice. "For the ten-year history of Chinese films, I am willing to pay any price."

"Do you believe it?" Han Sanpin asked.

"I still don't really believe it," Han Sanpin's voice came over, "but I have to do something."

Guan Ling felt embarrassed.

He has a hang-up, but Han Sanpin has a heart.

If all Chinese movies were made by Han Sanpin... maybe it would be good. (End of this chapter)
