Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 40 Good News

last night.

At the award ceremony of the [-]th Venice Film Festival, Zhang Yimou won the highest Golden Lion Award for "No One Less" starring the amateur Wei Minzhi!
This also became his second time to win the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival after "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" in 92!

In addition to the "Red Sorghum" which won the Golden Bear in 88, he alone has won three of the top three European awards.

Although he didn't win one of the three majors, he became the fourth person in history.

But also quite powerful.

You must know that in addition to these three movies, other movies are also quite capable of winning awards!
Cannes Grand Jury Prize for "Alive".

"Raise the Red Lantern" won the Silver Lion for Best Picture in Venice. There is no Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. The Silver Lion for Best Picture is considered the second prize at the Venice Film Festival.

Others don't know, but Gu Ming knows that in history, his "My Father and Mother" won the Jury Prize at the Berlin Film Festival next February.

It can be said to be a grand slam of the three major jury awards in Europe.

Three major 3+3 awards in Europe.

One word!fierce!

Two words, great.

three words...

For some reason, these three words reminded Gu Ming of "Man Jiang Hong", and he was speechless for a moment.

Zhang Yimou tricked Zhang Weiping into a big trap!
I worked for New Picture for so many years, but in the end I didn’t make much money, and in the end I did this kind of thing just for money.

Of course, Zhang Yimou, who was in his [-]s, was still the real No. [-] director in China.

And unlike ordinary directors, they are well-known within the circle but not as famous as stars outside the circle.

Because of his affair with Gong Li and his ability to win awards, this person is very famous in the eyes of ordinary people.

If another director were to film "Hero", it might not be able to attract everyone so much, let alone usher in the era of costume blockbusters.

I was thinking too much for a while.

Gu Ming retracted his thoughts, but found that everyone on the set was looking at him.

"Huh? See what I do?"

"No, we just think..."

"I think your achievements may be higher than Director Zhang's in the future!" Zhou Xun, who has temporarily finished filming and has not yet left, will stay with the crew for another day, said this while chewing gum.

This made the crew who just wanted to tell the truth and thought that Gu Ming's daze was due to jealousy burst out found a life-saving straw.

Those who caught Zhou Xun started to compliment him.

"I think so."

"How old was director Zhang Yimou when he filmed "Red Sorghum"? He was almost forty, right?"

"Where are you, Director Gu? You won the Palme d'Or at just 20 years old!"

"The achievements in the future will definitely be higher than his!"

"In the future you will be..."

Flattery seems to be contagious, every member of the crew started to flatter themselves.

It made Gu Ming understand why Huang Xiaoming in his previous life later sang music like Nao Tai Tao.

Everyone in the circle said yes!

Of course you have to trust the opinions of experts!

Little do you know that everyone is supporting you.

Whether it's really nice or the emperor's new clothes, no one wants to say bad things.

"Okay, stop praising me." Gu Ming waved his hand to stop their behavior of telling the truth, "Let's eat quickly. After eating and filming this scene, everyone can have a good rest."

The rest of the footage and so many people are irrelevant.

For them, today is the final day!
……

"Okay, start shooting!"

This scene shows the male protagonist betraying the female protagonist and returning to the police force.

Went to the dance hall we often go to.

Dance wildly to a remixed version of Ouyang Feifei's "Longing".

Sometimes he drew his gun, sometimes he imitated running, and sometimes he spun aimlessly like a top.

Just like a bereaved dog.

"Again!"

"Again!"

Anyway, this is the last scene temporarily, and this dance can really show the protagonist Zhang Zili’s heart.

Gu Ming asked Li Xuejian to dance ten times.Wait until the other party is a little impatient.

Gu Ming felt that this solo dance was on point.

Call it a day!

On the night when work was over, the crew gathered together for a nice meal.

"Come on, brother Gu, let me toast you!" After so many days, the two of them had become familiar with each other. Li Xuejian patted Gu Ming's arm with one hand and picked up the wine glass with the other.

"No, no, no, brother, you are the senior, I respect you."

"I feel this film, it's good, I also had a great time acting! If there is a suitable role in the future, feel free to say it, even a supporting role." Li Xuejian drank the whole drink, "I'm so old, I won't be able to play a leading role in the future. It’s also appropriate to help the younger generations.”

"If there is a role, I will not be stingy."

"correct……"

When the words came to his lips, Gu Ming didn't know whether he should say it or not.

If I remember correctly, Li Xuejian will be diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer next year.

This also caused him to always feel weird when he spoke in subsequent movies and TV dramas.

But how do you say this?

If you say something bad, you will become enemies.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gu Ming's embarrassed look, Li Xuejian took the initiative and asked, "Just say whatever you want."

"Forehead……"

"I think when you talk, brother, what should I say? I think you can check the nasopharynx area."

"I understand." Li Xuejian smiled and waved his hand, "I'll check it when I get back. You said you were still hesitating about it."

"I'm over 40 years old, and I still can't accept that I might have some disease?"

"Hehe." Gu Ming could only laugh twice and ended the topic.

As for whether he checks it or not.

Then Gu Ming has nothing to do with it.

The obligation to remind has been fulfilled. If you do too much, it will make the other party suspicious.

And the disease is indeed not fatal.

the next day.

I left an assistant director to travel in Harbin and see when it would snow.

Everyone else returned to the capital.

I started post-processing on the captured footage first.

At the same time, after receiving the invitation from the Golden Horse Awards, I submitted "Burning" to the Golden Horse Awards.

Just this year, after the Golden Horse Awards allowed all Chinese-language films to participate in the exhibition, it reached an agreement with the Information Bureau not to actively invite political figures to attend the awards ceremony, and stipulated that political figures who attended were not allowed to go on stage, give speeches, or award awards. Three don'ts" principle.

Gu Ming felt that there was nothing wrong with participating.

Although it doesn't matter to me, a Palme d'Or winner, whether I win this kind of award or not.

But you have to consider the actors and other crew members.

The more awards you can win, the more honors you will receive.

It’s also good for their careers.

Golden Horse Best Actor, Best Actress, male and female supporting actors, etc., still have certain gimmicks.

The post-production period lasted for more than a month.

It was early November.

The good news is here.

It finally snowed in Harbin.

Gu Ming asked his superiors to finish shooting the few remaining scenes and went to the editing room again.

Happiness never comes alone!

Just started working again for a day.

A piece of good news pulled Gu Ming out of the editing room.

The editing can only be done by others first, since there is not much material that needs post-production anyway.

They should be able to grasp it.

There's nothing you can do if you can't grasp it.

Whoever made this matter too important to him, now, it is the first priority!
