Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 241 The Legend

"Congratulations to Brokeback Mountain, and congratulations to Ang Lee."

With the voice of the host.

Two cheers sounded in the stadium at the same time.

In one scene, Li Yu and their crew members did not win the Golden Lion Award, but they still won the second prize, and they were embarrassed to show their displeasure.

Wouldn't that give face to the organizing committee?

When you should cheer, you still have to cheer.

Another cheer came from around Gu Ming.

This was the low, suppressed cheers of Zhou Xun, Liang Jiahui and others.

Now only the Golden Lion remains to be awarded at the awards ceremony.

The crew of "Shoplifters" who came to the awards ceremony had yet to win an award.

What does this mean? it goes without saying.

This time, there were no accidents.

After the host got the envelope, he kept looking in Gu Ming's direction.

"Shoplifters won the highest Golden Lion award at the 62nd Venice Film Festival. Congratulations to Gu, you have brought us a very classic work."

"Wow!"

The audience instantly stood up and applauded.

For a while, there was thunderous applause.

Everyone present looked in Gu Ming's direction.

At this moment, they are not only congratulating "Shoplifters" for winning the Golden Lion Award, but also congratulating the birth of a film legend.

Gu Ming.

A twenty-six-year-old young director.

Since "Burning" won the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1999.

After "Fireworks in the Day" won the Berlin Golden Bear in 2000.

Won the Venice Golden Lion again.

In seven years, he successfully achieved the three major European Grand Slams.

He became the fourth director to receive this honor since the birth of the three major film festivals.

He is also the first Asian and the first yellow person to receive this honor!

"Congratulations! Director Gu."

Zhou Xun stood up and hugged Gu Ming forcefully.

"Thank you."

"Congratulations, Director Gu." Liang Jiahui gave Gu Ming a bear hug regardless of the situation, "Thanks to your joy, try to let me win another Best Actor in the future.

After saying these words, Liang Jiahui let go of Gu Ming.

Gu Ming nodded and said thank you, and wanted to step onto the stage, but found that his legs were a little weak.

"Maybe I'm too excited."

Gu Ming smiled slightly.

Close your eyes and take a deep breath.

Only then did I feel I had strength in my legs.

Slowly walked towards the host.

"Congratulations to you, the young legendary director." The host handed the golden lion-shaped trophy to Gu Ming.

"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."

"No, this is not a compliment, it is a fact. You are indeed a legend to win all three majors at such a young age."

"Thank you." Gu Ming held the trophy in both hands and stared at it for a while, then moved his mouth closer to the microphone.

"Thank you to the motherland."

“Thank you to the jury for awarding this award to me.”

"Thank you to every actor who participated in this movie, Zhou Xun, Tony Leung Jiahui, Dong Dong Dong, Li Mingqi, Chen Bing, Guan Xiaotong, and many more."

"Thank you to every crew member."

"Thank you to the audience who have been silently supporting me, but I may not even know your name."

"It is your constant support that has enabled me to reach this point. This trophy belongs to me, and it belongs to you!"

With that said, Gu Ming made a motion towards the camera to give the trophy to the audience.

……

When the host read out the title of "Shoplifters". The whole country was in a state of excitement.

Each reporter immediately pulled out the one that won Gu Ming the Golden Lion Award from among the several spare manuscripts that he had written long ago and could perfectly cope with any situation.

Then sent it up.

The directors who stayed up late to watch this live broadcast had different expressions on their faces.

"I'm a little fellow! I actually got it done by him. It's amazing! It's amazing! I'm worthy of being a person who grew up in the West Film Studio. I have been nurtured since I was a child."

Zhang Yimou felt quite emotional.

He even slammed the table with excitement.

His unfulfilled dream was realized by Gu Ming.

Of course, he also knew that if he tried it by himself, even if there was no such thing as "No One Left Behind", he might not succeed.

It is not that easy to gather all three.

The Palme d'Or in Cannes is recognized as the most difficult of the three major awards.

What I lack is the most difficult award.

Thinking that Gu Ming's first top three was the Palme d'Or, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

I envy Gu Ming.

I also envy Chen Kaige, who also won the Palme d'Or in Cannes for the first time.

My alumnus in the same class had a good chance of achieving the top three!

"How great it would be if this person were me!"

Looking at Gu Ming on the TV screen, the envy on the face of Brother Chen Kai, who was also in the capital, almost overflowed.

However, this envy quickly dissipated.

"If I were ten years younger, I would have a chance to gather all three."

"It's a pity that people eventually grow old!"

"For the sake of my children, I have to make blockbusters and commercial films."

"No, no!" Brother Chen Kai shook his head, took a bottle of wine from the wine rack, and took a big gulp. "I believe that with my talent, even if it is a blockbuster, I can win the top three!"

"I can also be like Gu Ming and successfully gather the three majors and become a legend in the history of film!"

Some are happy and some are sad.

There is another one that doesn’t matter.

After seeing Gu Ming win the award, Feng Pengtong turned off the TV and went to bed with the young girl.

He finally saw clearly that he had a grudge against the prize.

From now on, just make money honestly.

Gu Ming, who has won both awards and box office, can't learn how to operate with both hands.

The directors each had their own ideas, but the others who were paying attention to Gu Ming all cheered in an instant.

Yan Danchen, Gao Yuanyuan, Li Bingbing, Jin Suo...

Even Liu Yifei, who rejected Daystar's olive branch, happily jumped on the sofa.

While holding a cat, she pointed at the TV and said to her mother Liu Xiaoli, who also stayed up late with her, "Mom, look, Legend..."

"Ah."

"Alas..." Liu Xiaoli nodded feebly. The more successful Gu Ming was, the more she regretted it!

"If I had known earlier, I would have..."

"But Xixi, don't worry. Gu Ming and Huang Xiaoming get along very well. They are old friends who have known each other since they were students and have worked together for nearly ten years."

"Mom has been getting closer to Huang Xiaoming since you filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". The relationship is not bad now. When you grow up, with your teacher Yan Danchen and Huang Xiaoming working together, it will not be a problem to enter Venus and become a big star in Hollywood. "

"Oh……"

Liu Yifei said oh.

I don't want to break my mother's confidence.

She always felt that Huang Xiaoming not only seemed to have a good relationship with his mother, he also had a good relationship with everyone on the crew.

Can such a person do it?

I'm afraid it's not wishful thinking on my part?

……

When Gu Ming received the award, it was already early morning in China.

Therefore, in the morning, the headlines of many morning newspapers had been replaced by the news that Gu Ming won the cup in Venice.
