Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 262 First time

"Congratulations to Gu from China!"

"Successful." Gu Ming stood up with a smile.

There were waves in my heart, and I was a little excited.

After all, I invested millions of dollars!

It turns out that the power of money is great.

Of course, there is another very important point.

I have never won this award!

"Congratulations! Director Gu, you hit the target with one shot."

"Congratulations, you won another grand prize!"

After giving a polite hug to the three of them, Gu Ming walked up to the award podium in front of the camera and took the statuette from the guests.

"This is the first time I have won this award, and I am still very excited."

"Thank you, thank you to the judges for their support, and thank you to every member of the crew for their dedication."

"Thank you to every fan who likes me."

Not a big prize.

At least it can't be compared to the previous best picture wins.

Gu Ming didn't have many words to express, so he left after expressing his feelings.

Sitting back in his seat and touching the Oscar statuette, the excitement he had just felt had dissipated a lot, and Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity, it would be great if it was the best director!"

"In that case, I won't pursue things like awards in the future."

"I'm not pouring cold water on you!" Zhou Xun blinked, "I thought it was possible before, but when I saw the person who just received the Lifetime Achievement Award, I felt that it would be as difficult for you to win the Best Director as it would be for me to win the Oscar for Best Actress. Not much different.”

"Stop talking, stop talking."

Gu Ming's heart ached.

The one who tried for Best Director five times but failed to achieve three majors plus an Oscar.

He is still a pure American. He was born in Missouri, the 24th state of the United States.

And I am afraid that I have a long way to go!

But, fortunately, there is no conflict between Oscars and box-office hits and making money, so nothing is delayed.

Thinking of this, Gu Ming's heart didn't hurt so much, and he continued to pay attention to the awards on the stage.

The best record album went to a song called "Diary of the Emperor Penguin".

"Memoirs of a Geisha" starring International Zhang and Gong Li also won three awards, for Best Cinematography, Best Art Design and Best Costume Design.

Soon, the big news of this Oscar came.

Best Director, Li Eucalyptus.

"Do it..." Liang Jiahui twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at Gu Ming.

Zhou Xun's eyes blinked several times in succession, and his head leaned towards the Gu Ming River, "The first yellow person to win the Oscar for Best Director?"

"Yes."

"It's a bit interesting." Zhou Xun looked at the excited Li Yu in the stands, "He is really ups and downs. It reminds me of the previous "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After winning the award, I immediately fell into a big hole. This time again Get up."

Not hearing Gu Ming's response, Zhou Xun thought Gu Ming was feeling sad and comforted him.

"His winning the award is also good for you. At least it has set a precedent for yellow people to win Oscars in the United States. If you want to win, there will be less resistance."

"Is that what you said?" Gu Ming also knew this, but...

I am different from Li Yu!

Li Yu is a crooked person. He studied in college in the United States and has been living in the United States for so long.

But why don’t you plant crops because you’re afraid of the crickets?

Just do your best.

Gu Ming raised his hand and applauded Li Yu.

This time, the Sixth Princess is broadcasting the Oscars live again. Don't let the audience see it and say that you are jealous of Li Yu.

Even if it's true, you can't show it!

pattern.

As for the final grand prize, Best Picture, it was given to a film about class and race. It was a story that the director thought of after hearing about 9/11, "Crash."

……

domestic. The entertainment industry exploded instantly.

Gu Ming's Best Foreign Language Film was okay, it was indeed a small award, but someone had already won it.

The sensation it caused cannot be compared with Li Yu's Oscar for Best Director.

Many people in the industry who were paying attention to the Oscars felt like their heads were being hit and buzzing.

Especially Brother Chen Kai.

Of course, he is different from others.

He didn't think it was a big deal when Li Yu won the best director.

But when he saw Gu Ming winning Best Foreign Language Film, he felt like his anger was about to go through the roof.

"Best foreign language film!"

"A country can only nominate one, and you won the award because you stole my nomination for "The Promise"!"

"Gu Ming, you stole my best foreign language film!"

Brother Chen Kai's cheeks twitched a few times, and he couldn't control the hatred in his heart.

He had a feeling that this guy was his lifelong enemy.

The only Palme d'Or in Cannes in the Chinese circle was also won by Gu Ming, and its gold content suddenly became less valuable.

"The Promise" was sniped by Gu Ming and deliberately downgraded the film schedule. As a result, the final box office was only 1.7 billion, and the box office revenue was not even one-third of the investment.

Now, it has snatched its own Best Foreign Language Film.

"Hmph!" Brother Chen Kai got angrier as he thought about it. He picked up the cup and threw it to the ground. With a "click", the cup broke into dozens of pieces.

……

"Another award."

"Director Gu wins the prize every time." Liu Yifei's eyes sparkled, and she became more and more envious of the person named Chen Bing.

He actually got to walk on the Oscars red carpet.

I want to leave too!

"Director Li Yu is better, he won the Oscar for Best Director." Liu Xiaoli focused on another director.

Ha ha!

Who said the only way to enter Hollywood is Gu Ming?

Without you, my daughter wouldn't be able to enter Hollywood?

Isn’t there also Li Yu?

If Director Li Eucalyptus makes a movie in China in the future, he can definitely let his daughter compete for roles in it!

"Huh..." Thinking of this, Liu Xiaoli felt much better. At least, she didn't block all her daughter's future paths to Hollywood.

"Li Yu, Li Yu, your next film is going to be a Chinese film!"

"I must get the role at all costs." Looking at Li Yu holding the trophy on TV, Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but pray.

……

Los Angeles.

After the Oscars ended, Gu Ming, who was familiar with the dinner that followed, took the other three people and started to feast.

By the way, I shared some Chinese dishes specially prepared by the chef for Li Yu.

While eating his food, he said a few compliments.

"Congratulations! Director Li."

"Same joy." The smile on Li Yu's face never disappeared, "Director Gu's works are also very good, but they are not suitable for the cultural atmosphere here."

"Otherwise, we still don't know who the Best Director award belongs to."

"Back in Venice, didn't my "Brokeback Mountain" lose to Director Gu's "Shoplifters"?"

"Hey, Director Li, you are the protagonist tonight, why do you think you praised me?" Gu Ming was quite satisfied with Li Yu's words, nonsense, who doesn't like to hear nice things.

"I may need your help, Director Gu."

"After this experience, I finally understood that I am not made for commercial films."

"Let's just make some emotional movies."

"I had my eye on a book before and wanted to shoot it in China." Li Yu had a look of embarrassment on his face.
