Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 288 Chapter Bao Yuan

There are also masterpieces such as "Cars" and "Letters from Iwo Jima".

but……

In the musical/comedy film, Gu Ming feels that he has not seen his opponent yet!

I guess it shouldn't be a big problem.

And the following award presentation was indeed the same.

Best original song and soundtrack, two important parts of a musical, won directly.

The best screenwriter was also awarded to Gu Ming.

The male and female lead in the musical/comedy film was also won by "La La Land"'s Leonardo DiCaprio and Cate Blanchett.

The two of them were quite happy when they went up to get the prize.

After all, Leonardo DiCaprio is not the Oscar-winning actor yet, and Cate Blanchett has not yet embarked on the journey of winning the Best Actress at Venice twice and successfully winning the Oscar for Best Actress.

Besides, the Golden Globe Award is also a big award, and the Golden Globe Award is likely to represent the final result of Oscar-related awards.

Quite worthy of celebration.

After clapping his hands, Gu Ming started to get nervous.

Next up is Best Director.

This doesn't matter whether it's a comedy, musical or drama, it's just one award.

I don’t know if I can beat the biggest competitor for this Oscar, Martin Scorsese.

Gu Ming glanced towards Martin Scorsese, and then he heard the voice of the award presenter.

"The winner of the Best Director Award is Gu!"

"Haha!" Gu Ming stood up with a smile and hugged the people around him.

While hugging Leonardo DiCaprio, this guy said by the way, "I hope you can win the Oscar for Best Director in more than a month's time, just like today."

"Aren't you the same?" Gu Ming smiled, "Oscar winner."

"Hahaha……"

The two laughed together, and Gu Ming strode onto the stage.

"Congratulations, Gu, you are the second Chinese to win this award after Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!"

The award-presenting guest handed the award to Gu Ming while congratulating him.

"Thank you."

Gu Ming looked down at the trophy.

There's the Earth up there, and the film goes around it in a circle and a half.

This design is quite good.

Of course, more importantly, I didn’t get it.

And today, I got it, which is even better!

Gu Ming raised it high and then said a series of words.

After Gu Ming went down, he came up again soon to receive the trophy for the best musical/comedy film.

The best feature film went to the biggest rival at this Oscar, "The Departed."

"La La Land" hits seven out of seven mentions, with no miss! The domestic media immediately spread the news.

It immediately caused quite a stir on the domestic Internet.

Many enthusiasts participated in the discussion.

[Qi Ti Qi Middle School, today, I will only say four words, Director Gu is awesome! Who is in favor and who is against? 】

[I object. I think Li Yu is even more awesome. He won the Oscar for Best Director, and he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the Mandarin film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." What did Gu Ming rely on? It's just an English movie starring foreigners. 】

[Yes, Li Yu is awesome, so why doesn’t he make blockbusters in Hollywood? Make another Hulk movie to open our eyes! 】

[What’s the point of arguing about this? We should discuss bigger topics. For example, do you think La La Land can help Director Gu win the Oscar for Best Director? 】

"Are you sure of winning the Oscar for Best Director?" After the artistic exchange to celebrate the victory that night, Li Bingbing asked this question with a feeling of looking up to him.

"Thirty percent."

"Why is it only 30%?" Li Bingbing sat up suddenly, "Isn't the Golden Globe a sentinel award for the Oscars? Your film "La La Land" was nominated out of seven!"

"Thirty percent is still higher." Gu Ming was not so excited and shook his head with a smile.

"Let me analyze it for you!"

"When Will Smith was competing for the Best Actor Award, his public relations company promoted it in the relevant media. Sean Penn would achieve a Grand Slam if he won the Best Actor Award. And Sean Penn is too young. I don't know how much it will play a role. But it definitely has an impact." "Those old men don't want young people to get it too quickly. After all, they have used it all their lives and they still haven't gotten it when they are so old. If you get it at such a young age, doesn't it look like I'm such a waste? ?”

"And I feel the same way. I am twenty-seven this year and have already won three majors. If I win the Oscar for Best Director, I will become the first person in film history and a unique director!"

"For such a young person to be the first person in film history, I am a white man in the United States, and there will be many people who will object to it."

"Everyone will think, oh, you are so young. What if you lose your enterprising spirit after you have everything? This is a loss to the film industry! Young people can definitely practice more. This award will be given to the old director first. , after all, if you don’t give it to him, he will lose it.”

"You have to learn to respect your elders."

"Are you talking about Martin Scorsese?" Li Bingbing seemed to hear Gu Ming's worries.

"I'm talking about those old white male judges." Gu Ming shook his head, "Of course, the biggest opponent for the Best Director this time is indeed the old Martin you mentioned."

"I'm 64 this year. I filmed Taxi Driver at 34, but I still haven't won the Best Director award. I don't know how many sympathy points I can get!"

"And he is of Italian descent. He is a big player in the Hollywood circle. Among the four major Hollywood directors, two are of Italian descent. Even Leonardo is a quarter of Italian descent. .”

"Also, "Chicago" won many awards just a few years ago, and my "La La Land" is also a musical."

"So, this time, it's very difficult for me, and I don't have much hope. If I can get the best, I won't be sad if I can't."

"If you think about it, 30% is not bad." Li Bingbing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he glanced at Gu Ming with some worry. Seeing that Gu Ming's eyes were neither sad nor happy, he said, "I really hope I can see I don’t know when you will be able to achieve this by collecting four top film festival awards and becoming the first person in film history.”

"Do you think it's possible within five years?"

"I'll do my best!" Gu Ming smiled bitterly. Who knows if it's possible!

All I can do is push out the masterpieces one after another and make every effort to see if I can win the last missing trophy.

Gu Ming smiled as he rested his head on his hands and looked at the ceiling.

Yes, make every effort.

Sometimes you can beat your opponent not only on the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard.

Even like Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, he used the chessboard to defeat his opponents.

For the last step, I don’t know if the arrangements I made in advance after winning the Golden Lion Award were useful.
