Chapter 351: Sober up after drinking

"No, fellow compatriots, I'm starving to death. If you don't get out of the way, tomorrow's news will be about me starving to death on the streets!"

Although he was joking, Gu Zhongyu still didn't answer any questions.

Somehow, perhaps because of winning the Best Picture, Gu Zhongyu always felt that his behavior should be worthy of his identity!

If it were a different time, I would have just asked the security guards to blast these people away!

Not long after, the organizers arrived, and with their support, the group finally entered the Hilton Hotel.

Arriving at the bustling banquet hall No. 1, they arrived relatively late, as many people had already drank.

After all, I was delayed for a while by reporters.

At this time, many people had gathered in the banquet hall, especially the winners, who were drinking and celebrating crazily.

Gu Zhongyu even saw the director of "Gravity" drinking with his heroine. He didn't expect this Mexican talent to be so crazy!

He quickly found the table where his crew was sitting. Frank had already arrived here before them and placed a few cups in front of him: "Friends, we won't get home until we get drunk today!"

Chen Sicheng on the side was very knowledgeable. He stood up, picked up the cup and shouted: "Come on, let's drink for Mr. Gu!"

Sally and Alexandra on the side saw Gu Zhongyu getting up to leave, and they left their seats in unison, preparing to leave with him.

"Frank, you are too anxious! In fact, I think the filming of "Barbie" should not be rushed. It is best to wait two years before releasing it. The effect will be better..."

Frank shook his head when he saw this. He felt that the director Chen Gu Zhongyu had found might have some talent, but his style was too low. He had just won the Oscar, and he couldn't wait to hunt for women at the dinner. He was still such a low-level guy. If this was the case, Being photographed by those reporters, the great director lost more than half of his B frame in an instant!

"On Oscar night, "The Invisible Guest" became the biggest winner, taking home four awards: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Makeup and Best Original Screenplay!"

It doesn’t matter whether you admit it or not, and it doesn’t matter whether this year’s Oscars is a big year or a small year, as long as it is held, the headlines of all entertainment news the next day will definitely be the Oscars!

In the current situation, you have to drink even if you don’t want to!

Gu Zhongyu took three glasses of wine from the plate brought by the waiter, then raised his own glass, "Cheers!"

Just like "Wolf Warrior 2", if it is released a few years earlier or a few years later, the box office results will be completely different!

While talking to Frank, he also dealt with people who came to congratulate him. Most of the people who came to congratulate him were acquaintances. There were many faces that Gu Zhongyu had never seen before, and more of them were familiar celebrities.

Gu Zhongyu will leave the American Emperor soon, and he doesn't know when the next meeting will be. He must squeeze this man until he runs out of oil before he leaves!

Chen Sicheng watched Gu Zhongyu leave and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. There had just been a broad-minded man who had been flirting with him for a long time. It was because Gu Zhongyu, the boss, was here that he never had the nerve to go and hook up with her. Now it was just right!

The last time he was photographed having a tryst with a young actor, Zongheng spent a lot of effort to help him with public relations. Gu Zhongyu had reminded him repeatedly, so he had been relatively restrained during this period.

The Oscars are definitely world news!

DiCaprio also came to congratulate him. Although he missed the Oscar winner again, he seemed to be used to it. It was just a matter of doing it all over again.

Dog meat still can’t be served on the main table!

But tonight is different. He has won the Oscar for Best Picture, and he has accomplished the achievements that countless seniors have dreamed of. How can you not be happy at such an exciting moment!

Chen Sicheng arranged his hair, put on the most handsome look in the room, and swaggered towards the Ocean Horse, which was full of high-tech from head to toe...

After staying for almost an hour, Gu Zhongyu was already a little drunk. Damn, are these foreigners jealous that I won the award? They all came to me to toast me.

"I'm too drunk, so I'll leave first. You guys can continue..."

After a glass of wine, Gu Zhongyu became a little restless. Why the hell is this wine so strong?

"Gu, are you staying in the United States for a few more days? Many media and programs want to interview you, and about the filming of "Barbie"..."

The LGBT movement in the United States has not yet reached its peak, and the same goes for feminist political correctness. Released two years later will only resonate with more people and maximize the box office.

The rest of the crew also stood up and said, "Cheers!"

"Hey! Mr. Gu, why are you leaving in such a hurry? This has just begun?"

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also came and wanted to chat with them more, but Gu Zhongyu had no intention of paying attention to these two people.

……

"Last night there were surprises at the Oscars, with "12 Years a Slave" and "The American Emperor" being the biggest disappointments. The former was an upset and only won a few insignificant technical awards, while "The American Emperor" was nominated for ten nominations and none. Yes, it was completely suppressed by "The Invisible Guest" and "Gravity"!"

Of course, just like after every Oscar in the past, there are not without doubts in the media, especially the tabloids, who like to create some topics at this time to attract attention.

"Shady! Gu Zhongyu's award is full of shady stories. How can a movie like "The Invisible Guest" be compared with "12 Years a Slave"? The reason why he won the Best Picture Award is entirely the result of the operation of Zongheng Film and Lions Gate Pictures , this is not a victory for the movie, it is just a successful public relations!"

So What?

Even if what you say is true, so what?

No one cares, including the disappointing "12 Years a Slave", which Oscar winner does not have successful public relations and operations behind it?

Sour grapes!

Moreover, if winning awards relies only on public relations and does not depend on quality, then there will be no need for Oscar selection. It will be a direct comparison of throwing money. Isn’t it enough that whoever throws more money wins?

There are many voices similar to this doubt. Frankly speaking, the advantages of the movie "The Invisible Guest" are really not big. Compared with several other movies, it is not outstanding at all!

However, the mainstream media basically took a praising stance. After all, political correctness has almost become a label for the Oscars these days. The judges finally took off this label. This is an encouragement to the film industry!

Another point is that after winning the Oscar for Best Picture, "The Invisible Guest" once again opened in 3000 theaters across the United States.

The film scheduling rate has increased to nearly 25%!

You must know that the movie has been canceled before. This was entirely due to the influence of the Little Golden Man to arrange a re-release. A considerable number of North American movie fans went into the theater to watch the movie, making the single-day box office, which was already less than 300 US dollars, exceed 454 million US dollars in one fell swoop. , and in the following weekend, it grossed US$546 million, US$610 million and US$1820 million for three consecutive days, and the North American box office received another US$ million in a single week.

Coupled with previous accumulation, the North American box office of "The Invisible Guest" has slowly approached the US$1.4 million mark!

According to analysis by relevant professional organizations, the film's final North American box office is likely to reach US$1.8 million.

At the same time, "The Invisible Guest" appeared in film markets around the world.

Due to the inherent limitations of the film's subject matter, it is impossible for it to sweep the overseas market like a summer blockbuster. However, with the aura of Oscar Best Picture, the overseas box office still grossed 4000 million US dollars in a single week.

At this time, the global box office of "The Invisible Guest" is quietly approaching US$3 million!

After this battle, Gu Zhongyu has made a name for himself in the United States. Although he did not win the Oscar, he can still be regarded as a face in front of the North American people with the momentum of this movie. In the future, he will be very successful when he goes abroad. It's hard to guarantee that no one will recognize you.

After staying in the United States for two days, Gu Zhongyu returned home with a pair of panda eyes and a weak waist.

Shalizi and Alexandra, who had caused such harm to him, also felt bad. Gu Zhongyu simply played with them a lot before leaving!

The two of them won't be able to go out for at least a week, unless they cover themselves tightly and don't even expose their necks.

……

Even before Gu Zhongyu got the statuette back, his mobile phone was flooded with phone messages. After he got the statuette, there were more than 200 congratulatory messages on WeChat alone, and he couldn't even read them. After replying to a few important questions, I threw my phone to Dudu and took over.

This caused him to miss all the messages sent to him by his elder brother Gu Bohua.

"Blissful" was released in March, and the final box office reached 3 billion, once again breaking the box office record for Chinese-language movies!

Originally, this achievement could not be achieved until the release of "Monster Hunt" in 2015. Now it is completed ahead of schedule and at a smaller cost.

The net profit of this movie is almost as much as that of previous years. Comedy movies plus the Spring Festival season are really a box office harvester. I wonder if this record can be broken when "Mermaid" and "Detective Chinatown" are released.

For such an achievement, it would be unreasonable not to celebrate in a big way. In addition, their Oscar trip won four statuettes, so they just did it together.

In addition to the high-level executives and artists, there are also many well-connected partners. In the best hotel and the highest hall in Yanjing, hundreds of people gathered together to celebrate...

"Hiccup~"

Gu Zhongyu burped. He had not been awake for a long time since returning to China. Before today's celebration banquet, he had already attended several dinner parties in private.

Some are invited by big names, such as Wang Changtian from Guangguang, Yu Dong from Bona, Lao Wang from Wanda, etc. It’s hard to shirk...

There were also some friends in the circle who organized a game, such as Jiang Wen, Huang Lei, Deng Chao, Zhang Ruoyun, Lu Yi, Tong Dawei, etc. Knowing that he was busy, a dozen people set up a table to invite him together. It seemed unreasonable not to come, and All of them came with their wives, and he was even more welcoming...

In addition, the fish in the pond, not to mention that they are very excited on weekdays, a few others seemed to have enlightened themselves, stopped playing the trick of being aloof, and began to take the initiative.

Li Yao, who had been sulking and not paying much attention to him, asked how he was doing and said that her kitten missed him. We didn’t know which kitten she was talking about~

Da Tiantian said that she was hesitant to buy clothes, and she hoped that Gu Zhongyu could help her refer to it. Can you please clarify whether your clothes are worn inside or outside?

Liu Yufei was more direct and told him to come over and wait for him if he had any good fortune. It was ridiculous. I, Gu Daguan, am a well-informed man. What good fortune could you have? But we are just very curious, so we stopped by in the evening to have a look. It’s okay for her and Aunt Liu, after all, they haven’t been there for a while~

Wave after wave of people came to congratulate them at the celebration banquet. Gu Zhongyu had already started adding water to the wine, but he still couldn't bear it!

"I can't do it! Hurry! Help me stop the wine!"

Gu Zhongyu put his left and right hands on Guo Fan and Gong Geer. They were both strong men at the wine table, equivalent to his Xu Zhudianwei, and they were suitable for blocking his drink.

In fact, he didn't drink too much, he just had to go to Sissi's house in the evening. If he was drunk now, what would be the point of getting there later?

Guo Fan smiled bitterly, why did he still have the urge to be a tool even though he was not working as a director for Gu Zhongyu?

Just when Gu Zhongyu went to the bathroom to wash his face and wake up, and was about to go back to wrap things up, and then set off to find Qian Qian, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang!

During this period, he had turned on Do Not Disturb, and except for a few important people, no one could call in. These calls must be from acquaintances.

I picked it up and took a look. Well, he looked really familiar. He was my elder brother from the same father and mother!

"Hello, leader. Thank you for your hard work, leader. What instructions do you have?"

"I can tell from your tone that you are drunk. Have you thought about the proposal you made during the meeting? You can tell me first to avoid being made fun of because it is unrealistic or taboo!"

"What proposal?"

"It's a proposal at the Political Harmony Conference! Don't tell me you're not prepared at all!"

I am!

Gu Zhongyu suddenly woke up from the wine and asked hurriedly: "What political humor? Don't make fun of me, brother!"

"Who's kidding you? No... I've sent so many messages, but you haven't read them? You don't know yet, right?"

Gu Bohua's tone on the other end of the phone was full of shock. What on earth has this silly brother been doing these days?

Mobile message?

Gu Zhongyu quickly found the information records with his eldest brother and read them carefully...

After reading it, Gu Zhongyu felt depressed and was completely shocked by the news that he was about to become a political harmony committee member.

Damn it, I’m not ready to transition into politics yet!

Gu Zhongyu didn't know that he was elected as a member of the political harmony committee. To be honest, he didn't even know how the political harmony committee was elected, and he didn't care.

No wonder the eldest brother said mysteriously during the Chinese New Year that he would put some more burdens on him. Is Co-author waiting for him here?
