Talk about a ghost?
Did I let you talk?

Gu Ming really had no idea about cooperating with Hua Yi.

I don’t lack money, but the key is my relationship with the film festival and my connections to film festivals.

There are Xiying Film Studio and Beijing Film Studio here, and adding China Film Studio is definitely enough.

Let’s talk about actors. No actor is irreplaceable. If I think a certain role is irreplaceable, it’s because he played it in another role. If he was introduced first, if he doesn’t get the same role, I think he is irreplaceable again.

Besides, brother Chen Kai can last for 30 years with a Palme d'Or!
As for making a movie, even the actors are unwilling to act in it?
Even if Hua Yi is looking for an actor, Hua Yi can't stop him. How can you stop others from progressing?

Wang Zhonglei obviously couldn't hear Gu Ming's irony.

He held Gu Ming's hand and shook it again and again before reluctantly going in.

After welcoming Huayi's people, Gu Ming met a lot of people, among which those who were related to Xiying Studio came the most.

Gu Ming often watches the videos of some of them.

After filming "Back to Back, Face to Face", Huang Jianxin later became the main theme director.

Feng Xiaoning, "Purple Sun", "Red River Valley" and "Yellow River Love".

There is also Xie Fei, the director of "Scented Soul Girl" who belongs to the same province.

By 07:30, almost everyone had arrived.

Gu Ming then returned to the theater.

Then, under the guidance of the host, they briefly chatted with the leading actors on stage for half an hour.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

The main director made the debut.

"Burning" officially starts playing.

A start.

It made many people’s eyes light up.

This is not the kind of countryside that fifth-generation directors like to shoot.

Nor are they the small domestic cities or county towns that many sixth-generation directors focus on.

But the capital is full of high-rise buildings.

This makes many directors who come here with the intention of studying feel a little confused in their hearts.

A question arose in my mind.

How did this movie win the Palme d'Or?

Wait until the video has finished playing.

They all got it.

There was thunderous applause for a while.

"This little fellow of mine is so awesome! The photos he took actually look like a master of semen." Zhang Yimou clapped his hands repeatedly, not feeling jealous, but just appreciative.

"Really?" Zhang Weiping disagreed, "I think it's just average! The filming was too cliché, and I got caught in the end. It's the same old thing!"

"I think it's far behind our "My Father and Mother" and "No One Less".

"He can win the Palme d'Or, and we have no problem winning the Venice Golden Lion or the Golden Bear."

"Ah……"

You know a hammer!
Zhang Yimou smiled and was too lazy to talk to his partner.

How could anyone be so confident about winning an award in advance?

Open the champagne in advance.

Aren’t you afraid that the trophy will escape?
As for what he said about the film being cliché.

Obviously, the final scene and the identity of the second male lead were filmed to pass censorship, and this was definitely not what was shown at Cannes.

It's just that he didn't bother to explain these words to the other party.

On the other side, Feng Pants’ eyes were red.

He is also a person who wants to make art films!
But then he switched to comedy?
Think again about the ridicule made by directors in the industry towards his wild approach.

He was holding his breath in his heart.

"No matter what, I want to film "A Sigh" and I believe I can win an award!"

"No problem, we will shoot next year." Wang Zhonglei had no choice but to agree.

After filming "See You or Be Parted" this year, Feng Pants wanted to film "A Sigh".

I finally coaxed him into making another comedy film.

"Endless".

Just by hearing the title of this film, you can tell what Feng Pants was thinking.

If the box office of this film can exceed 3000 million, then he will not be able to restrain Feng Pants from making an award-winning film no matter what.

Since we can't stop it, we might as well go with the flow.

More than the directors, the actresses recalled the moments of solo dancing at sunset.

While clapping his hands, he couldn't help but look at Zhou Xun.

Envy overflowed from her eyes.Such a classic film!

Maybe people will still watch it three to forty years from now, which guarantees an actor's bottom line in the industry in the future.

After a long time, the applause stopped.

The main creators came on stage, continued to be interviewed, and signed autographs for some fans.

Gu Ming is a behind-the-scenes director and doesn't have much to sign for.

After briefly answering a few questions, he and Li Xiaoping sent people off to leave the theater.

I was busy until about eleven o'clock.

Gu Ming was able to go home.

Get up again the next day and continue to go to the theater to promote.

Four hundred copies of the film were sold.

In order to earn the film's box office, we had to visit several economically strong cities and important ticket warehouses.

Day three.

A group of people came to Shenghai to continue promoting.

Because the current Internet has not yet been fully rolled out, until today, the first-day box office has been successfully released as of 24:[-] last night.

240 million.

A pretty high box office hit for this day and age.

You know, yesterday was still Friday!
This box office can already be compared with Feng Pants' "See You or Be Part" at the box office.

On Saturday, the box office reached 270 million.

260 million on Sunday.

Coupled with Monday's box office, it successfully reached a box office of [-] million.

Han Sanpin even made a special call to Gu Ming.

"congratulations!"

"It has been burning for over 3000 million for four days, and a box office of [-] million is definitely no problem."

"By the way, do you know that this movie has a good box office!" Han Sanpin joked with a smile, "How dare you choose to share the share?"

"It's unjust! I just don't want you to bear the pressure." Gu Ming shouted, "I just had an idea at the time, how much box office, I will speak based on my ability."

"Really?"

"More real than real gold."

"Well, the box office will definitely be good this time, so have a good sleep." Han Sanpin hung up the phone after finishing the box office.

The promotion lasted for half a month.

The main creator's promotion and various media reports on the Palme d'Or have not stopped. In addition, there are no Hollywood movies in the theater, and the audience can basically only watch "Burning" when they go to the theater.

The box office successfully reached 3000 million.

冯裤子的《不见不散》的票房达到四千300万，但它是在98年的12月24上映的，票房应该算在98年。

Therefore, Gu Ming's "Burning" became the first mainland movie with a box office of over 3000 million this year.

It is also temporarily the box office winner this year!

However, with the proliferation of pirated discs again.

The theater's single-day box office has not even reached 80 yuan, and the rate of decline is still very fast.

Everyone stopped publicizing it.

We returned to the capital together.

After spending two days discussing art with Yan Danchen in the courtyard, Gu Mingcai came to Daystar.

"I'm about to find you. If you don't come, I'll call you." Li Xiaoping brought the scripts of "New Shanghai Beach" and "Golden Fen Family" to Gu Ming for review.

"Did you finish the script so quickly?"

Gu Ming was a little surprised.

"We, Daystar, have to invest tens of millions of dollars to make a drama. The two directors are afraid that we will regret it, and the editor they hired will work day and night."

"And the time is not short, it's almost three months."

"If you see that there is no problem, let them start casting."

"Ah."

Gu Ming immediately started reading the script.

After reading everything, I called Li Xiaoping over.

"The script is OK, let's start casting."

"The male lead of "The Golden Family" is Chen Kun and the female lead is Zhou Xun."

"The male lead in "New Shanghai Beach" is Huang Xiaoming, and the female lead is Gao Yuanyuan, who played a supporting role in "Burning"."

"Oh, by the way, I'll sign Gao Yuanyuan, and it's best for the second-ranked characters in the two dramas to sign with our company."
