Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"is white……"

There are a lot of clouds today!
Smiling, Gu Ming went to his residence with the security assistant.

There are no too luxurious hotels here, and considering safety, Gu Ming simply rented a house at a high price and lived there by himself.

As soon as I sat down, Xiao Lizi came over.

He sat down heavily on the sofa all of a sudden, feeling indescribably comfortable, with a slight smile on his face, "This place is nice! I have a feeling that it will be the place where I can realize my dream!"

"Can you still laugh?"

Gu Ming glanced at Xiao Lizi.

It seems that this role is not filled in properly!

He immediately poured a basin of cold water on the other party.

"Feel it a dozen times, and you will succeed one time!"

"..." The smile on Xiao Lizi's face disappeared immediately, "Gu, your talent for being quiet is really high!"

"I can't help it. I need you to feel that kind of mourning for this movie, so you'd better not laugh in front of me. I might get upset if I see it!"

"If you want to laugh, wait until the filming is over before you laugh!"

"Isn't that right?" Xiao Lizi said, "I also want to take pictures of the boat with my brother and nephew. I hadn't encountered the fire at that time, and my life was worry-free, so I should be happier!"

"It makes sense, then you can laugh if you want."

In fact, Xiao Lizi didn't laugh for a few days.

After taking that scene and the heartwarming scene of the protagonist Li and the child, Gu Ming directly asked him to shoot that scene.

There was a fire, Li and his wife were not at home, and three children died in the fire.

The protagonist Li was called to the police station to inquire about the situation.

Li believed that he had forgotten to close the fire screen on the fireplace when he was drunk, which caused the fire.

Forgetting to turn off the fire screen was not a crime, so the officer asked him to leave.

But he couldn't get out.

He took the gun stuck in the police officer's waist and was about to commit suicide. The first shot failed because it was not loaded, and then there was no second time. He was controlled by the crowd who came swarming over.

A very important scene.

And Li's next state actually requires acting skills.

After all, this film is not heartbreaking or painful, nor is it healing or soul-salvation. There is just a touch of sadness, like a wound that never heals, with blood always flowing out, every moment.

To perform this kind of life-like thing is very challenging for actors.

In order to let Xiao Lizi perform better, Gu Ming got angry because he felt so depressed.

Learn from the Sunglasses King.

"No, try again."

"No, reopen."

"It still doesn't work, try again."

Doing it over again and again made Xiao Lizi confused, "Gu, can you tell me where I went wrong in my acting? So I can improve next time."

"It feels a bit close." Gu Ming made up a lie.

"Feel?"

"Yes, it's just a feeling." Gu Ming nodded, "I can't explain it to you, and I can't explain it to you. You need to understand it yourself. I will remind you when you get the performance right."

"Okay, I'll do it again." Xiao Lizi started to act out that scene again.

"Again."

"Again."

Gu Ming kept shouting "come again" and found that this feeling was quite refreshing.

If you ask me what's wrong, it just doesn't feel right.

Does it feel right to you?
It doesn't feel right with me, I don't want your feelings, I just want my feelings.

If cost is not considered, even if you choose a difficult director, you will always be able to produce a picture that satisfies your expectations. In fact, by the time he took the tenth shot, Gu Ming had already gotten the picture he needed.

However, in order to build Xiao Lizi's psychology and let him adapt to Li's state, Gu Ming did not shout "passed" until the end of the work.

The filming continued the next day, allowing the extras to earn money for another day.

This time, after taking four or five shots, Gu Ming shouted, "Passed!"

"Oh!" The extras and staff all wailed, venting the frustration accumulated during the filming of this scene.

Xiao Lizi had accumulated the most, but instead of being like the others, he gave Gu Ming a meaningful look.

Everything that follows is much easier to photograph.

There was no big scene to be found at all.

I went to Boston, which is more than 20 kilometers away, to pick up some scenes and shoot a few scenes.

This is about Lee, who was divorced after the fire, and fled to Boston to work odd jobs. He was escaping, escaping from Manchester, and escaping from everything in the past.

But there are some things that you can't escape even if you want to.

His brother died too, not from the fire but from a heart attack.

And his brother's wife is missing.

He had to go back and take care of the funeral affairs.

Unexpectedly, something happened that he thought would be solved soon, and he became the guardian of his teenage nephew.

Two people who had both lost their loved ones met together.

Unlike his nephew who would cry when he thought of his father, Li only had a face that would not smile, and a behavior that would punch and break the glass at any time.

Sadness is always there.

And at the end of this film, there is no sublimation, just Li and his nephew sitting on the stern of the boat fishing.

In the face of real pain, all we can do is continue to live, wait and remember.

What else?

Alive.

Can only live.

Live for the sake of living...

After shouting "click", Gu Ming thought of a novel, "Alive".

In the end, the only ones who died were the protagonist Fugui and an old cow. I'm afraid his state of mind was the same as that of Li here.

He may be a little more numb than Li. After all, Li and Fugui are so miserable that there is something wrong with them.

"What are you thinking about?" It was finally over, and Xiao Lizi felt that all the things that were weighing him down were lifted.

It's just that the emotions that have entered him for so long cannot disappear so quickly. When chatting with Gu Ming, he found it difficult to squeeze out a smile.

Li Zi sighed with emotion as he stretched out his hand to rub his face.

"I can't make this kind of film next time, even if I make a film that requires intense emotions throughout. It's too torturous."

"I'm thinking of a novel." Gu Ming said.

"Oh? Tell me?"

"Okay." Gu Ming told him the story of his life.

After listening, Li Zi frowned slightly and said, "A character who is somewhat similar to my character seems to be a film directed by Zhang? The ending seems to be different."

"Yes, there are some adaptations at the end of the movie. At the end of the novel, only the protagonist and an old cow are left."

"If there was an American version of that story, I think I would be able to join the cast seamlessly." DiCaprio shrugged, "Speaking of which, I actually have a new role to play, and it is the favorite of the judges. Biopic!”

"I need two works to give me double insurance to win the title of Best Actor."

"Biographical movie?"

"Yes." DiCaprio remained mysterious, "I am playing a big figure in the history of the United States. In a sense, he is even more powerful than the president. After all, apart from Franklin, the president only served for ten years at most. You can guess this. Who is the person?”
