Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Watching Kate step by step on her path to becoming a devil, holding the Oscar trophy and speaking on the stage, Gu Ming turned his head and glanced at DiCaprio.

Ha ha……

This guy said he didn't care, but the envy in his eyes was almost overflowing.

Occasionally he would lick his lower lip gently.

"Leonardo, you said you're not nervous?"

"What about you?" Xiao Lizi glanced at Gu Ming, then moved his eyes down to Gu Ming's right hand on his lap, "You keep knocking there, aren't you also nervous?"

"Haha!" Gu Ming smiled and stopped chatting with Xiao Lizi. He continued to raise his head and put his eyes on the stage again.

After a few more small awards, it was the actor's turn.

"The nominees for Best Actor at the 79th Academy Awards are."

"Ryan Gosling's Half Nelson."

"Hmm?" When he heard the first nomination, Gu Ming raised his eyebrows subconsciously. Good guy, the male protagonist of "La La Land" in his previous life was also nominated. Is it some coincidence?

Keep listening, an old acquaintance.

"Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happiness."

"Forest Whitaker, The Last Day."

"Leonardo DiCaprio, La La Land."

"Peter O'Toole's The Last Day."

"Final congratulations to Forest Whitaker." After the words fell, a handsome actor with a somewhat fierce face stood up.

Xiao Lizi failed once again.

After clapping his hands, he covered his mouth and complained to Gu Ming, "This is already the third Best Actor in the past six years!"

"Perhaps, you can try playing an oppressed gay slave, so that you have a greater chance of winning the Best Actor Award." Gu Ming also covered his mouth to prevent anyone from knowing what the two were talking about through lip reading.

"What fu**, I play hey?"

"It seems you don't want to act anymore." Gu Ming shook his head, the version still hasn't arrived yet!

Hey, people can play God, and they can also play mermaids.

What's wrong with a white man playing the role of a slave?

You are racist!

Deprive white people of the right to work as slaves to pick cotton!

This is not correct treatment!

After complaining in his mind for a while, Gu Ming was dumbfounded.

This time there were three people on stage.

Damn...

What are you three doing here?

The three of them are 190 years old in total, why are they still joining in the fun?

These three people are none other than others.

None other than George Lucas, Spielberg, and Coppola.

One of the four major American directors in Hollywood in the 1980s.

The other one is his competitor Old Martin.

Therefore, the moment they came on stage, Gu Ming knew that he had lost.

After all, I still have a lot of weaknesses, and the points I have accumulated in the Oscars are a little low.

Of course, there is another reason. La La Land did not have the same terrifying box office as "Titanic". Therefore, despite the same fourteen nominations, the final result was very different.

"Alas." Xiao Lizi understood when he saw the three people on the stage. He sighed softly and patted Gu Ming's knee, "It seems that we can only watch the next film together. I am the best actor." , you compete for the best director, a win-win cooperation!"

"Ah."

Gu Ming nodded and said nothing more.

Now, he just wanted to be quiet, so his head went straight into a state of relaxation, and he quietly watched Martin Scorsese win the Best Director trophy.

For the next small award, Gu Ming simply didn't waste his attention.

It wasn't until it was the turn for Best Picture that I sat up straight and regained my energy. “The nominees for Best Picture at this year’s Oscars are..."

"The Departed."

""Tower of Babel"."

"Letter from Iwo Jima."

"La La Land."

""Queen"."

"Congratulations to "La La Land" and congratulations to Gu for winning this award for the second time!"

When the voice fell, the audience burst into applause.

Gu Ming sighed secretly in his heart.

Knew it!

I have no share in it, and I will use the best picture to compensate myself a little.

In this case, what else can I say?

After all, even the top prize was awarded to your film.

Therefore, even though he felt a little disappointed, Gu Ming could only pretend to be very happy, walked up with joyful steps, and took the statuette from the guest's hand.

"What you just said is true, but this is my second Best Picture statuette."

But it's different from last time. This time, I am enjoying this trophy alone!

Taking a breath, Gu Ming faced everyone in the audience, "But it will definitely not be the last one!"

"I'm still young, and I also hope to see how many best picture awards I can win in total."

“Let’s all witness it together!”

There is a bit of arrogance in what he said.

But young people, if they are not full of energy, can they still be called young people?

And Gu Ming is doing this on purpose. Don't give me the best picture, give me the best director, and give the highest award to the people in need. I already have enough in my hands.

As for whether the other party will simply not give the best picture, love will not give it.

Bring out a few more good films and you won’t give them all? What about credibility?

It even really made me anxious. From now on, I will take advantage of the first bad guy to come on stage and stir up a stir, and I will specialize in making that kind of film in Hollywood from now on.

What about "12 Years a Slave" and "Escape".

If you don't give it, you are discriminating!

When the time comes, someone will appeal for me.

After saying this, he paused for a few seconds, and then Gu Ming started to thank him in various ways.

This is what I always say every time I win an award. Gu Ming just needs to change the names of the main actors and crew members.

After Ma Liu finished speaking, he took the award and stepped down.

Li Zi immediately comforted Gu Ming, "Look, at least there is a best picture. Poor me, I don't get a single award."

"Seeing how pitiful I am, next time there is a good movie, don't look for Will Smith. He has already won the Best Actor. We must achieve common prosperity."

"Don't worry, I will never forget that cooperation." Gu Ming nodded at the other party.

"It's a deal!" Xiao Lizi was reassured.

There's nothing he can do about it, he wants to win the Oscar for Best Actor, but he's also worried about it!

You have no way of knowing which actor in a movie will win the best actor award.

Even if there is a saying in Hollywood that every high-quality project has its own fingerprints on the script, but so what?

There are many lesser-known literary films that can win Best Actor, making them hard to guard against.

But these films usually don't have much box office.

He knows very well that the most important thing for an actor is the box office. You can eat, drink and have fun, you can often change your model girlfriend, and you can even have parties. The only thing you can't do is not let the film not make money.

This is the foundation of one's own life. Even if it is for the movie star, one cannot abandon the foundation and the inferior.

Therefore, he needs to find a director who can win awards and have a low box office to work with.

Another problem arises. (End of chapter)
