Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 8
Soon, the premiere of "17 Years Old Bicycle" will come.

Because it entered the main competition, even though there are no big-name actors in the film, the director has no reputation.

There were more than 200 people sitting in the 100-person screening room, about [-]%.

The crews of other Chinese films that Gu Ming had participated in the premiere before, as long as they had not left Berlin, all came to show their respect.

Everyone sit down.

The show begins.

After a while, Gu Ming heard some viewers whispering when they saw those high-rise buildings, "Where is this? China? Which city?"

"Are there actually so many modern high-rise buildings over there?"

"It looks really good."

"I think I can go visit this ancient city this summer."

There is no lack of artistry in the films of fifth-generation directors, but due to their growing environment, they prefer to shoot films with rural themes or historical periods.

"Red Sorghum", "Alive" and "Farewell My Concubine" are nothing more than this.

Even in "Sunny Days", most of the scenes were from the capital 20 years ago.

There is not much focus on domestic big cities in recent years.

As a result, viewers who often come to the film festival have an impression of China as a large rural area.

Although there are alleys in "17-Year-Old Bicycle", Gu Ming put more emphasis on the urban landscape of the capital than in the original film.

Some viewers were curious about the filming location.

"The place in the film is the capital. Everyone is welcome to travel." After the screening, when thanking the audience and film critics, Gu Ming stood up and gave the audience the answer.

Every time it is shown, after hearing the audience wondering where this place is, Gu Ming will give the answer at the end.

Such screenings continued until the closing ceremony.

Everyone was invited by the organizer.

Arrive at the venue for the closing ceremony.

It was a lively and noisy place outside the theater, with a sea of ​​people.

The camera flashes of the media reporters lit up one after another, creating a star map on the ground out of thin air.

Looking at the long red carpet, look at Huang Xiaoming who is wearing a red suit and has a really impressive figure.

Gu Ming finally knew why this guy had to come.

It turns out that it’s just for the showman to walk on the red carpet!
But fortunately, he did appear in the film.

Otherwise, if I walk on the red carpet like this every year, I won't be able to keep being called a carpet star.

After muttering in my mind for a while, it was the turn of the "17-year-old Bicycle" crew.

Gu Ming didn't care which crew was following him.

But Gu Ming, the crew member in front, could see it.

The cast of "Wag the Dog."

There are two actors in the cast of the Four Kings of Hollywood, Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman.

Look at the way these two people are strolling around.

Gu Ming felt a big gap.

Although he is a reborn person, this is the first time he has seen such a scene!

Walking down the red carpet a little stiffly.

After entering the theater, Gu Ming sat down on the chair.

"I will have to walk more red carpets in the future! Otherwise, I would really not be used to it."

I sighed in my heart.

Gu Ming looked around curiously.

I really saw a lot of familiar faces.

Samuel L. Jackson, the "Fuck Man".

Quentin Tarantino who "talks awesome".

"Jeff Bridges."

"What? Brother-in-law, don't you care about the chicken shreds?" Hearing Gu Ming muttering, Huang Xiaoming asked.

"Nothing, it's time to start." Gu Ming didn't want to explain and nodded towards the host's position.

The host is the chairman of the jury for this film festival, Ben Kingsley, who has a bald head and looks a bit fierce.

Nothing too complicated, just a few simple sentences, and it ended up taking half an hour.

After saying a few words, we started to get into the theme of awarding awards.

A series of various attention unit awards.

Jia Zhangke's "Xiao Wu" won two minor awards, the Wolfgang Stadt Award and the Asian Film Promotion Alliance Award.

The crew of "17 Years Old Cycling" also won awards, with Guo Xiaodong and Chen Kun both winning the Best Newcomer Award.

Wait until these small prizes are awarded.

The surrounding atmosphere suddenly condensed.Gu Ming knew.

The big one is coming.The first award was for Best Actress.

Won by "Central Station" actress Fernanda Montenegro.

Then there's Best Actor.

"Hey, are you nervous?"

Huang Xiaoming touched the arms of Chen Kun and Guo Xiaodong.

In exchange for this, both of them rolled their eyes.

Do you want to win Best Actor for your debut film?

Do you think you are Xia Yu?
With so many big names present, "17 Years Old Cycling" still has two protagonists, and the two of them have no hope for this award.

really.

"The Best Actor at the 48th Berlin Film Festival is Samuel L. Jackson in "Dangerous Liaisons."

Director S.H.I.E.L.D., Mummy Fuck, and Braised Egg won this award.

Huang Xiaoming stopped chatting with the two protagonists and turned his head to look at Gu Ming, "Lao Gu, who do you think Golden Bear is?"

""central Station"."

Gu Ming named the Golden Bear winner of this film festival in his previous life based on his memory.

"It's just the old cow eating young grass. No, it's not young grass. That's the young one? Didn't she win the best actress?" Huang Xiaoming was a little shocked after watching this drama, but he was not talking about the drama. No, it's just that his outlook on things is temporarily a little bit off.

I couldn't read it, but I was blown away!
"This is the type that the jury loves."

"If you want to make a film, I'll recommend it to you. You should write a story about an environmentalist girl who falls in love with an old Catholic woman who is an animal lover."

"Hey people, women, gays, environmentalism, animal welfare, religion."

"What great material!" Gu Ming couldn't help but smack his lips. With so many buffs stacked up, it wasn't too difficult to win the prize.

Huang Xiaoming's outlook on the side was hurt again.

He simply stopped listening and moved his gaze to the award podium.

The best director award went to "Wag the Dog" director Barry Levinson, who directed Rain Man.

The penultimate award was the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Award.

"The winner of the Silver Bear, the Grand Jury Prize, was, Oh Ha, So Young! It reminds me of myself when I was young, "Teenager's Bike."

A boy’s bicycle!
The English name Wang Xiaoshuai chose in his previous life was "Bejing Bicycle".

Gu Ming doesn't like this name. It's easy to cause trouble and is more likely to be over-interpreted.

That’s why I chose this name.

"I won the award!"

"We won."

After reacting, Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming hugged Gu Ming and shook him.

In my ears, the sound of "papapapapa" applause sounded, extremely enthusiastic.

The shock made Gu Ming's heart beat faster. .

The day has finally come.

This difficult first step did not go wrong after all.

Take a deep breath.

After adjusting his suit, Gu Ming walked onto the stage.

Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming and others in the audience were all very envious, but no one went up.

The Grand Jury Prize is an award for directors.

Why would an actor follow me and join in the fun?
No one would make such a stupid mistake.

You can pursue appearance and exposure, but it is not good to have ambition written on your face.

"Thank you."

While shaking hands, he took the silver bear from Ben Kingsley.

Gu Ming spoke templated words of thanks into the microphone.

Thank you family.

Thank you to the school, teachers and classmates.

Thank you to the film festival organizers.

Finally, he ended his acceptance speech with the sentence "I will produce better works and present them to the world!"

Walk down with the trophy.

All the crew present, including Brother Yang, took it into their hands and touched it.

"It would look better if it were changed to gold."
