Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"A+ Gu is really an all-rounder! All the films he makes are really good. I love this director so much. He is the Spielberg of the new era! Of course, compared to Spielberg, he may still lack his Films like "Jaws," "Alien," and "Jurassic Park" have taken the global box office by storm, but I believe he can do it!"

"He's not even thirty yet. What is Spielberg doing at this age?"

Of course, there are many people who think this film is lengthy, a little lackluster, and the plot is somewhat imperfect.

but……

Even they gave this film a good score.

Good reviews, well-known directors and actors, and a schedule with no strong rivals.

Together they made this musical a pretty good box office hit.

It came out ten years in advance, but the box office was not much worse than in its previous life.

In the three days of its first weekend, it grossed a total of $40 million at the box office.

And the box office the next Monday was 6 million, which is a very healthy decline.

Soon, the American Golden Globe Awards announced the shortlist.

"La La Land" was a huge success.

It actually won seven awards for Best Musical/Comedy, Best Director, Best Actor and Actor in a Musical/Comedy, Best Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Original Song.

Although the American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards cannot be compared with the Oscars, they are still the most famous film awards in the United States after the Oscars in the world.

And its number of film awards is much smaller than that of the Oscars.

There are 25 Oscars in total, but it only has 14.

More importantly, because "La La Land" is a musical, it can actually compete for only nine awards.

Best feature film, best male and female lead in a feature film, best foreign language film, and best animated film are not eligible to enter the list because of the subject matter.

Seven nominations were received out of nine.

It also gave the plot members a little surprise.

Xiao Lizi also called Gu Ming specifically, "Gu, do you think I will win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor?"

"What do you think?" Gu Ming curled his lips, "Do you still care about the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor?"

"If I remember correctly, you just won the Best Actor in a Feature Film for "The Aviator" in 05."

"Hey, who would object to having too many best actor winners? Besides, if you win the best actor award at the Golden Globe, your chances of winning the best actor Oscar will also increase a lot out of thin air."

"I really hope those damn judges won't stop me from winning the Oscar for Best Actor. I feel like it's almost become my inner demon. In this life, I will never give up until I win the Oscar for Best Actor!"

"I support you!" Gu Ming said in support.

Xiao Lizi also knew that Gu Ming's current support would not affect the Oscar winner at all, so he made a small joke, "Provide all support except help?"

"That is also a kind of support, isn't it? You will feel that there is a force supporting you in the dark. This is a spiritual force!"

……

As Christmas approached, Gu Ming went to attend the premiere of "Now You See Me 2" again.

The box office of this film is also pretty good. Its first week box office is about the same as "La La Land" which has already exceeded US$120 million and will probably reach US$150 million.

After looking at the box office drop, relevant media also gave a target of US$150 million.

It can be regarded as a successful sequel.

For this kind of sequel film with a guaranteed box office, Gu Ming is too lazy to participate in the promotion.

There are more and more films produced by its companies, and there is no need for me to invest so much time in promoting each film. Just take good care of your own videos.

……

1 month 16 number.

Gu Ming attended the 64th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony.

In fact, more strictly speaking, it is a dinner party.

Compared with the Oscars, which require fasting and fasting in advance, the Golden Globes are obviously much more free and comfortable. Everyone sits around the table, and there is delicious food on the table.

Everyone can chat, enjoy the food, and watch the awards come out one by one.

"Hey, why don't you go sit over there in "The Departed"! Do you think it's easier to win the Best Actor award here than me?"

Gu Ming sat next to Xiao Lizi and couldn't help teasing him.

After all, at this year's Golden Globe Awards, he was nominated for both Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama and Best Actor in a Musical/Comedy.

"Tch..." Xiao Lizi understood Gu Ming's character, and curled his lips while eating, "I'm just afraid that you won't win the best director, and if you cry later, no one will comfort you."

"..."

"I don't need anyone to comfort me!"

"There is no need for a man to comfort me." Gu Ming clasped his hands, "My sexual orientation is normal."

"The more you deny something, the more you are covering it up." Xiao Lizi raised his eyebrows at Gu Ming with his mouth stuffed with rice.

But Gu Ming didn't want to get entangled with him on this issue.

Looking at the way he was eating, Gu Ming suddenly thought of the man with his underwear exposed and running with a water gun, as happy as a 200-pound fat man, and advised, "Brother, I'm worried about your weight. Ah! If you eat more, you can play "The Fat Professor"."

"Hey! This is my strategy!"

Xiao Lizi shared his experience with Gu Ming in a low voice, "I don't think I can win the Oscar. The main reason is because I am too handsome, which arouses the jealousy of the judges!"

"So, I have to learn from those actresses. Nicole Kidman got a prosthetic nose and won an Oscar. Charlize Theron was even more exaggerated. You can see the murderer in "The Devil Wears Prada" Is it her?"

"When I become less and less concerned about my image, that's when I win the Oscar for Best Actor!"

"It seems like you don't have that much confidence in Martin Scorsese and I! You are the leading actor in both of our films."

"Of course I believe you."

Xiao Lizi smiled and shook his head.

He believed it before.

But after watching "The Last Dictator" and watching the two films he acted in, he found that the gap was visible to the naked eye.

Now, he no longer looks forward to the Oscar winner.

Of course, the public relations fees that should be paid will still be paid.

He knows very well that every time he does public relations, he is earning points for himself in the future.

When the points are up, even if your film is not very good, you may still win an award.

When the award ceremony began, DiCaprio stopped eating and focused his attention on the stage.

And it was only when he was reading the shortlists one by one that Gu Ming discovered that there were still many good films in this award.

Among them is "The Veil", which was filmed in western Guangdong and adapted from a famous novel. (End of chapter)
