Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 17 The Golden Rooster
Rested for a day in the courtyard.

Gu Ming immediately devoted himself to the post-editing of the film.

After all, it is his second film, and Gu Ming never wants to give up the opportunity to watch it take shape.

As for school, ask for leave.

Even for Chinese opera students, by the time they are in their junior year, they will become very free to take on roles and make films, and taking long vacations has become a common thing.

Not to mention Nortel, which has been relatively loose in management since freshman year.

Besides, Gu Ming is now considered a current student at Nortel.

As long as the exam comes up, it's fine. At other times, the teacher doesn't bother to ask where Gu Ming is.

During the post-production period, Gu Ming also received an invitation letter from the Golden Rooster Award.

Gu Ming's film "17 Years Old Bicycle" was successfully nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film, and Chen Kun was nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

As for Best Director, maybe because Gu Ming was too young, he was not shortlisted.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m afraid of overpowering the situation.

Or it was because of Gu Ming's lack of qualifications.

However, Gu Ming, who was in the later stage, did not have any major psychological fluctuations.

For Gu Ming, money is very important. Awards are also for selling money. Can the film earn more money if it wins the Golden Rooster?Most likely it will have no impact.

In this case, there is no need to be too melancholy.

The faint feeling of disappointment passed by in a flash, and Gu Ming devoted himself to his film again.

end of October.

Post-production of the film is completed.

In order to pass the trial better, Gu Ming reluctantly added a line at the end of the film that was submitted for trial. Zhong Xiu was sentenced to death for intentional homicide and was finally submitted for trial.

After being sent for trial, I returned to the courtyard.

I heard a brainwashing melody coming from the room, "When the mountains have no edges and corners, when the river stops flowing."

Pushing the door open and walking in, Yan Danchen was watching TV.

Seeing that Gu Ming was back, he waved to Gu Ming slightly excitedly.

"The drama in which my roommate Zhao Zhetian played the role of Little Swallow."

"I heard it's very popular over there in Wanwan."

"It was introduced by our Shonan Provincial TV station, and I don't know what the final ratings will be."

"It might be explosive." Gu Ming said, sitting next to Yan Danchen.

"You think it can explode without even looking?"

"Intuition!" Gu Ming shrugged, "A director's intuition."

"If it really explodes, you should regret it." At this point, Yan Danchen glanced at Gu Ming with a hint of resentment, "I asked you for a supporting role twice and you refused to give it. Otherwise, Your new movie hasn’t even been released yet, and it’s already very popular.”

"Ha ha……"

Gu Ming smiled and said nothing.

Yan Danchen and Zhao Zhetian were roommates, so that was her business.

It is absolutely impossible to get a role from yourself.

"Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is a hit, but in another 20 years, will you still be able to search for a drama by Zhao Zhetian on any serious software?
Maybe people's experiences are different and their endings will be different.

But why did I take this risk by leaving an artist who had not exploded until his rebirth?
"Speaking of which, the company needs a backbone actress!"

Looking at Zhao Zhetian in the TV series, Gu Ming smacked his lips.

Zhao Zhetian has already gained momentum and will soon ride on the unstoppable momentum of Little Swallow.

International Chapter has also joined Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother" and is about to rise.

Xu Cairen is supported by a group of old men in Beijing circles.

The four major actresses are about to emerge one after another.

It’s impossible for your own morning star to have a female supporting role.

Thinking of this, Gu Ming immediately called Li Xiaoping.

Ask her to sign Zhou Xun to Daystar.

Gu Ming even promised to be the heroine of the next movie for this reason.

There are only a few people who have the temperament to act in artistic films, and Gong Li himself can't afford to hire someone more suitable.I have worked with Zhou Xun twice.

Gu Ming also agreed with people's evaluation of her in her previous life. She was a very talented actor who was chased by God to feed her.

It saves effort and worry when shooting.

I will most likely look for her in my next movie.

In this case, it's better to use the role that was originally meant for her as a bargaining chip and sign a contract with her.

Originally, Rong Xingda from Li Xiaowan also wanted to sign her.

As soon as Zhou Xun heard that the heroine of Gu Ming's next film could be given to him, he thought about how enjoyable the performance of "Burning" was, and Rong Xingda's film resources were average.

And actors want to prove themselves in movies.

After three days of consideration, he signed a five-year contract with Daystar.

……

11 month 22 day.

The 18th Golden Rooster Awards were held in the auditorium of Shancheng.

As a director, Gu Ming naturally cannot compare with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige in terms of seats. They all sit in the second row.

Gu Ming is in the third row.

"Hey, do you think you can win a prize?"

Sitting next to Gu Ming is Gu Changwei. They have worked together for two months and have become familiar with each other.

We started chatting there.

"What do you think?" Gu Ming asked instead without answering.

Gu Changwei almost laughed out loud when he asked.

"To be honest, if you are 40 years old, it is possible to win the best feature film. If you win the Golden Bear, you may also win the best feature film. Now, I can only say that you can win the best supporting actor award."

"But it doesn't matter, you are still young, you will have all these things in the future."

As he spoke, Gu Changwei patted Gu Ming's knee.

The meaning is self-evident, don’t have too much hope, lest you get sad sometimes.

Then, Gu Ming, the director who had no hope of winning the award, and Gu Changwei, the photographer who won the best cinematography in 88 with "Red Sorghum" but had no works shortlisted this year and just came to participate, started chatting in a low voice.

It wasn't until the award presenter finished his cliché and started awarding awards that the two of them returned their attention to the award podium.

Best supporting actor.

"17-Year-Old Cycling" was the only award that was up for grabs and had a slightly higher probability, and it lost without any suspense.

He lost to Ge You's father, Ge Chunzhuang.

The best actor award went to Feng Guozhang's descendant, Feng Gong in "Nothing Happens".

The best actress was Xiao Taohong in "Dark Eyes".

Gu Ming didn't care much about the remaining awards until the best feature film.

There are quite a few good films shortlisted.

Xiao Taohong won the Golden Rooster Award for "Dark Eyes", "Red Lovers" with Leslie Cheung and Mei Ting, who dropped out of school because of this film, "Genghis Khan", "Anju", Gu Ming's "17-year-old Bicycle" ” and “The Great March.”

After watching the last film, Gu Ming's DNA moved.

I thought of another movie.

The Armageddon trilogy.

When he was paralyzed in his previous life, when he took out "The Final Battle" and watched it again, Gu Ming felt that it was not out of date.

Those tens of thousands of people were marching.

Real and shocking.

It is simply unbelievable that this was a work that could be made in an era without computer special effects.

Gu Ming felt that only the scenes in "War and Peace" could compare.

"no!"

"I have to go back and review the "Armageddon" series again." Gu Ming raised his hand and touched his chin.

Just when Gu Ming was lost in memories, the best feature film was released.
