Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 183 Rising Attraction

"Which three steps?"

"The first step is to apply for an Oscar."

"The second step is to get nominated, and the Oscar judges vote on several nominations."

"The third step is for me to walk up so handsomely and get that damn trophy in my hand."

"How's it going? Isn't he handsome?" Will Smith also made a gesture of holding the trophy, grinning with his big white teeth, "Isn't he handsome?"

"uh-huh?"

Gu Ming was speechless.

Are you fucking kidding me?

What you said is really like listening to your words!
"Hahaha, don't be angry, it was just a joke."

Will Smith smiled and whispered, "Actually, the public relations company helped me think of it. I am just an actor and a hip-hop singer. How can this work?"

"Those words just now were three false steps, but what I'm talking about now are the three true steps."

"First of all, you must have an excellent work and your performance must be remarkable, otherwise you will be like Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love", who will be mentioned every time , Man, I am also a member of the 2000 million club, so I still have to be ashamed! Then it would be better to not receive the award than to win the Best Actor Award."

"In this regard, "The Untouchables" is good enough. Even if I win it, no one will say anything. They will just feel sorry for Sean Penn."

“Secondly, the PR firm placed a lot of coverage in local newspapers where the Oscar judges gathered.”

"For example, Sean Penn has already won three major awards in Europe. It's time for him to win an Oscar this time. His acting skills are among the best."

"For example, if Sean Penn wins the Oscar this time, he will become the second actor in history to achieve the top three European awards and the Oscar Grand Slam, becoming a legend in film history, and will also be the first to achieve this miracle. Jack Lemmon’s record improves by 23 years!”

"After all, Jack Lemmon was 67 when he collected all four awards, and Sean Penn would only be 44 if he won the Best Actor!"

"After becoming a legend at the age of 44, you can retire early."

"What would you think if you were an Oscar judge?"

Will Smith looked around, lowered his voice, and imitated the old man's speech.

"Oh, Sean Penn is so young!"

"Wouldn't it be a good idea to let him collect all the awards too early? In ten years, Sean Penn will still be in his golden age as an actor."

"There is absolutely time to perform more exciting roles and use those roles to compete for Oscars."

"Don't let people think that winning the Oscar is necessary for winning the top three awards. It seems as if our Oscar is not as good as the top three in Europe."

"Aren't you afraid of backlash?" Gu Ming asked with a smile, "What if everyone thinks it's time to achieve such a legend in film history?"

"Reaction?" Will Smith smiled.

"Without any side effects, I'll have a chance to win the Best Actor Award?"

"There's basically no chance!"

"Brother, tell me, who did you think could win the Best Actor Award?"

"Will Smith!"

"Walter Falkle?" This was the first time he met someone who acted unconventionally. Will Smith looked like he had seen a ghost. "Brother, you can lie to me, but don't lie to yourself."

"You said it was Sean Penn before?"

"Everyone thought it was him."

"If I don't give it a try, then it won't be my fault for sure. How bad can it be, no matter how bad it is?"

"Throw yourself to death and survive." Gu Ming nodded, "It makes sense. Let's talk about the third step."

"The third step is to regret "The Intouchables"."

Will Smith made a French two-hand salute, "Let me make it clear first that I first found out that you were not planning to publicize Best Director and Best Picture before doing this."

“The newspapers said ‘The Untouchables’ was a classic.”

"Who doesn't know?"

"The judges knew it very well, and then they said in the newspaper that "The Intouchables" would have easily won the best picture in previous years, but it was a pity that it encountered the final chapter of "The Lord of the Rings."

"In this way, maybe "The Intouchables" can win the best picture."

"Even if you can't win, you can still get sympathy points from the judges."

"If you are soft-hearted, you will subconsciously want to make up for it in other awards."

"There are more than 6000 Oscar judges, and one or two hundred who are soft-hearted may play a decisive role!"

"Now it seems to be working."

Will Smith couldn't help but grinned. At the same time, in order to prevent Gu Ming from having any thoughts in his mind, he added, "Of course, all this can work. The most important thing is that this is a very good work."

"What's your next work?"

"Even if it's a commercial film, I'll accept it for 2000 million U.S. dollars and don't want a share."

"I already have a candidate for the lead role in my next work. I'll talk about it if I have the chance."

"No problem! My promise is always valid." Will Smith and Gu Ming fist bumped.

Knowing the answer and satisfying his curiosity, Gu Ming went to chat with Zhang Yimou.

I also discovered something by the way.

Those celebrities are becoming more and more enthusiastic about themselves.

Regardless of gender.

Much more enthusiastic than when I won Best Picture last time.

I don't know if it's because they also own a publishing company, or because they won the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in one fell swoop this time, which made them see greater value.

Gu Ming guessed that it was more likely the latter.

After all, the distribution company has not released a single film yet. Who knows the final result?On the contrary, it was Will Smith who made a blind move and won him the Best Actor Award, and also gave himself an extra layer of halo.

If you play Gu Ming's work, you can win the Best Actor Award!

In the same way, if you can win the Best Actor, you can also win the Best Actress.

It is inevitable for actresses to be enthusiastic.

But the actresses who are starting to hit the big picture are already over 30 years old.

There are not many that match Gu Ming's aesthetics.

Keep your enthusiasm, no amount of communication will do!

If you are not at the level of ball flower, you will not give a woman in her 30s the opportunity to collect stamps!
There are so many young actresses, the old people must give newcomers a chance.

……

When Gu Ming attended the dinner.

Domestically, reports on various portals have been written.

[Zhang Yimou successfully competed in the Oscars and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the second Chinese director to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. 】

[Gu Ming's "The Intouchables" scored three out of five, winning Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor at the same time. He personally won the Best Original Screenplay. He participated in the Oscars twice and won both times! 】

[A great victory for Chinese directors! 】

The media headlines are quite neat, but the discussions among netizens are more divergent.

"I really didn't expect that Will Smith could be praised as the best actor, Gu Dao Niubi..."

"Do you think Director Gu will win a Chinese Oscar winner or best actress? If he can do that, that would be awesome!"

"Are you daydreaming upstairs? American actors are competing so fiercely that they will give you a foreigner?"

"Everything is possible. Have you ever thought that a director of this age could be so awesome? Or can you think that Will Smith will win the Best Actor Award? With Director Gu around, there's no telling!"

"Okay, I admit, Gu Ming is so evil. He is also the producer of "Hero" this time. I feel that if domestic directors want to win Oscars in the future, the first thing they need to do is to let Gu Ming be the producer. Filmmaker."

"That's not necessarily the case. Chen Kai's new film "The Promise" did not hire Gu Ming as a producer, but I think he still has hope of winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. After all, he is also a major international director." An unknown netizen Lifted his mouth.

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately besieged by everyone.

"Quickly pull him down, I'm already desperate for him. The movie "Killing Me Softly" that I played before was just a pornographic film, not a classic pornographic film. "Lu Bu and Diao Chan" made me sick."

"I swear! If you spend another movie ticket on Brother Chen Kai, I will be a dog!"

"If you lie to me once, you are considered a fool. If you lie to me twice, you are considered a fool! Why does he lie to me again and again?"

"Just rely on Farewell My Concubine!" an unknown netizen retorted.

"It's been ten years, and you still want to rely on that old movie? Ten or 20 years later, will you still use "Farewell My Concubine" to flatter him? They are all directors of artistic films and commercial films, but what about him? Director of an archaeological film?"

"I think he is more like a real estate film director." One netizen commented, "His Qin Palace really attracts a lot of tourists every year. Otherwise, why do you think investors would invest so much in him? Let me give you a calculation. Gua, his new movie will definitely have a very distinctive building, and then he will sell tickets and collect money!"

"You guys had so much fun discussing it! But why do I feel like you forgot a director?"

"Who? Which other domestic director wants to compete for Oscars?"

"Who else?"

"Depend on!"

Feng Pants shook the mouse away.

"Don't look!"

I took some time off from my busy schedule to go online, but I couldn't even find a few words to mock myself, I just ignored them all!

He had been angry before when netizens scolded him.

Only now do I know that ignoring him is more uncomfortable than scolding him in front of him.

I was holding in a breath and couldn't come out at all. I almost had a heart attack from anger.

"Eyes without pearls!"

“The reason why domestic films cannot compete with Hollywood blockbusters is because there are too many junk netizens nowadays…”

After cursing and spitting out a mouthful of phlegm, Feng Pants walked out humming a ditty.

At this moment, a girl who is still wearing a costume and is deeply addicted to the Internet is sitting in the hotel, looking at the computer screen.

look at...

The smile gradually disappeared from her face.

She thought of a very sad thing.

Gu Ming can even hold the Oscar-winner level.

But even so, Daystar wanted to sign him but was rejected by his mother.

When I wanted to sign again, they didn’t want to sign.

The key is to use the excuse my mother used to refuse at the time.

Those words hurt my heart.

If you think about it from another person's perspective, you can also imagine how depressing it was to hear those words when Teacher Yan was eager to sign her.

This made her feel very sorry for Teacher Yan.

"Ugh……"

Holding her left cheek and looking at the photo of Gu Ming holding up the statuette on the computer, Liu Yifei sighed feebly, "Why were you rejected?"

Mom, you are hindering my progress.

do you know?
