Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 131 There's a Surprise
Hi!
It seems that there is no director in the world who can win the top three European awards and the Oscar for Best Director at the same time.

but……

This possibility is not entirely impossible.

After all, there are actors who can combine the four major movie stars at the same time.

The American actor Jack Lemmon, who passed away last year, is one.

In the future, probably the year after next, there will be an American actor Sean Penn who looks a bit like Wu Qilong.

Speaking of which, from the perspective of Gu Ming, a reborn person, this person simply looks like a reborn person.

He won the best actor in Berlin in 96, the best actor in Cannes in 97, the best actor in Venice in 98, and the three major European best actors for three consecutive years. In his previous life, he won the Venice best actor in 03, the Oscar in 04, and the Oscar again in 09.

At the same time, he has three major movie winners and an Oscar winner.

More than ten years later, an actress named Julianne Moore would achieve this achievement.

You don't know if you don't recall it. When you recall it, Gu Ming can't complain anymore.

Damn it, they are all Americans.

It seems that the idea of ​​reaching that goal and setting a new record in film history is really difficult.

All we can do is do our best and leave it to fate.

Taking a deep breath, Gu Ming didn't know how he walked down the red carpet.

After entering the closing ceremony venue, I didn't bother to look at who or what celebrities were nearby, so I just looked at the award podium quietly.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Xun also noticed something unusual about Gu Ming, "Still a little nervous?"

"What do you think?" Gu Ming shook hands, "Even though I know it's impossible, I still can't help but look forward to it."

In other words, this is it.

Hypocritical?

Gu Ming asked himself in his mind.

Then he shook his head and said, "Let nature take its course."

"There is a chance."

After comforting Gu Ming, Zhou Xun didn't know how to continue to comfort him. He simply patted Gu Ming's knee and stopped talking, leaving Gu Ming to digest quietly.

On the stage, awards were given in sequence.

The remake of "Spring in a Small Town" directed by Tian Zhuangzhuang won an award called the San Marco Award.

I have seen South Korean director Lee Chang-dong win a Catholic Culture Award for "Oasis" before, and star Moon So-ri also won the Emerging Actor Award. If I remember correctly, she was the best director at this Venice Film Festival.

Awards have been given to the best actresses.

Gu Ming heard Zhou Xun's breathing stagnant next to him.

His eyes were fixed on the award presenter above.

His hand grabbed Gu Ming's arm tightly.

The body was shaking slightly.

Both anticipation and fear.

But no matter how much you resist, time will never change according to human will.

The award presenter still revealed the answer.

"The winner of the Best Actress at the 59th Venice Film Festival is."

"Weekly News."

"Bah bang bang bang." As the awards were announced, applause broke out.

Zhou Xun, however, seemed to be the calmest one.

No excitement, no happiness.

He was stunned in his seat.

After two or three seconds, he turned his head and said to Gu Ming carelessly, "I won the Best Actress Award?"

"Yes, go up and receive the award. Congratulations."

"I'm so happy!"

Zhou Xun said carelessly, and immediately spread his arms to hug Gu Ming's head. Unfortunately, there was no special touch.

"Thank you, thank you very much. No matter who you marry in the future, I will only be an artist of Daystar."

Zhou Xun made such a promise after using Gu Ming's head to cover his mouth so that no one could read his lips.

Then he started to hug others politely.

Then he went on stage to receive the award amid applause.

It is entirely silver, with a lion with a pair of wings standing on a rectangular base.

Looking down, Zhou Xun looked in the direction of Gu Ming and spoke slowly and leisurely.

"To get this trophy, I first want to thank one person, Director Gu Ming."

"Thank you for giving me the honor to star in his first film, second, third, fourth, oh, all the films he directed."

"Most of them are protagonists."

"Without him, I wouldn't be where I am now. Thank you, Director Gu."

After raising the trophy in his hand at Gu Ming, Zhou Xun began to thank the jury, crew members, etc. like other winners.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Walking down with the trophy, Zhou Xun handed the trophy in his hand to Gu Ming, "Well, half of this trophy belongs to you."

"Also, I hope you get the golden one!"

"I'm afraid it's hopeless!" Gu Ming took it and played with it.

Haven't played with it for long yet.

It seems that after the Best Actor was awarded on stage.

Gu Ming heard a voice, "Gu Ming!"

"What's going on?" Gu Ming, who had not even thought that he could win the prize, raised his head.

"You won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director!" Zhang Guoli reminded with a smile.

At the same time, I felt a little emotional.This young director is really awesome.

Get the prize if you take action!

Although it is not the biggest Golden Lion Award, it is quite impressive to win Best Director and Best Actress at the same time.

We must make good friends in the future!Not just for myself, but also for my son.

"Best Director?"

Unlike other people who actively hugged the people around them who were in the same crew, Gu Ming passively hugged the surrounding crew members.

When I walked to the stage, I couldn't help but look around, and finally took a look in Li Cangdong's direction.

Shouldn't it be his?
This thought flashed in his mind, and Gu Ming thought of an answer that fit the explanation.

"Burning" and "Secret Sunshine" have similar styles to Li Cangdong's films, but who made himself famous?He still made a name for himself first.

In the eyes of most people, he has something to learn from himself, rather than learning from him.

In addition, the chairman of the jury is Gong Li, so among the two, he is definitely biased towards me.

What else can I say?
I can only say that Gongli is awesome.

At the same time, a moment of silence was silently held for Li Cangdong.

Having had two films taken away from him, as well as a Best Director award, he might be the most miserable person besides Wang Quan'an.

At this time, Li Cangdong saw Gu Ming looking towards him and happily congratulated Gu Ming.

After nodding slightly in response.

Gu Ming withdrew his gaze and walked up to receive the Silver Lion trophy for Best Director, which was roughly the same as the Best Actress Award just now.

It is not a golden lion and has no cross-era significance.

Gu Ming couldn't hold back any original acceptance speech.

After showing his excitement, he repeated the formulaic acceptance speech that he had said several times.

"Thank you to the motherland."

"Thank you to your alma mater for your training."

"Thank you parents."

"Thank you to the crew members for their hard work, and thank you to Zhou Xun for his wonderful performance."

"I am very happy to receive my first Venice trophy, thank you to the jury."

What Gu Ming said was so smooth.

After speaking quickly, he walked back to his seat with a smile.

Zhou Xun took his trophy and placed it next to Gu Ming's trophy, "Do you think it would be great to summon a golden lion by gathering two silver lions?"

"Or I can sacrifice my silver lion."

"By then you will be able to collect the three highest prizes in Europe."

"Then you won't be the best actress anymore." Gu Ming replied.

"That's no problem!" Zhou Xun blinked, "Wouldn't it be more meaningful to see a Chinese take on the three major awards than to win the Best Actress? And by then I will be the actor who has starred in the three major awards at the same time. It’s quite an honor.”

"I can't change it!"

"But there will be opportunities in the future."

Looking up at the stage, Gu Ming comforted himself with something.

In the end, the Golden Lion Award was won by "Beautiful Sisters".

This year’s Venice Film Festival has come to an end.

……

of course.

Just because the awards are over, it doesn't mean that Gu Ming and Zhou Xun can take some time off.

After walking out, the two were surrounded by a bunch of reporters.

"Director Gu, do you have any regrets about not winning the Golden Lion Award and creating a new history in Asian film history?"

"Fortunately, after all, I'm still young. I'll have a chance in the future." Gu Ming responded with a smile, "Besides, it's not all without gain. Isn't there still a chance for Best Director?"

"Director Gu, will you try to attack the Golden Lion again in the future?"

"I will try my best to win every trophy, thank you." After finishing speaking, Gu Ming pointed at Zhou Xun, "I think you can interview her more."

……

Reporters from China brought back the news that Gu Ming won the Best Director and Zhou Xun won the Best Actress at Venice.

First of all, it set off a storm on the Internet where there are more and more users.

【such a pity!It would be great if I could get a golden lion. 】

[Impossible, I’ll let you have three majors in four years. The European and American film circles are so shameless?I even suspect that Gu Ming’s Golden Lion Award will be suppressed for many years. Unless Gu Ming continues to produce high-quality products and cannot be suppressed, otherwise the fourth director of the three European Grand Slam Awards will not appear, let alone still. A Chinese director.Of course, even so, it does not hinder my admiration for director Gu Ming, Niubi...]

[I think it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the No. 1 director in China now. 】

[Actually, I’d rather see the so-called Four Little Actresses, hahaha...]

In the post about the four little dandies, there was already a crowd of demons dancing around.

Some people didn't know if they were really fans of Zhou Xun, or if they were just unhappy because Zhao Zhetian was ranked first, so they started to complain.

[What are the four little beauties? I think they need to be rearranged. The person wearing the neon military flag uniform is not worthy of being the first. Take it out. 】

[I think we should simply take out Zhou Xun, as he is no longer on the same level, and then find a young actor to fill in. 】

【Golden Lock!It must be Jinsuo. In terms of popularity and appearance, who would object if I say Jinsuo is number one? 】

【I object!I think the one with the best looks is the best, but I think if I want to be included in the list of the Four Little Actresses, another one, Bingbing, is better. I choose Li Bingbing. 】

【What are you fighting for?I have a plan, and I’ll take that one out as well. Who’s that one?I can't remember his face, why can't I even recall his name, except for Zhou Xun, Zhao Zhetian, and International Zhang. 】

[Agree, this way both ices can go in. 】

[Similarly, I don’t know where Xu Cainv’s talent is, where is her talent?For so many years, no one can even remember his face. 】

[Why do you think she was selected?How did he become so famous without letting the audience remember his face? 】
