Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

The next day.

Yan Danchen walked into the classroom with a smile on his face.

Looking at the students who were smiling all the time because of the popularity of "Those Years", she knocked on the table.

"Song Tie, Jing Tian, ​​go to Daystar Building at 11 o'clock this morning to meet Director Gu. He has reserved two roles for you two in his new film, but if the performances are not up to par, you won't be part of it in the end. .”

"Teacher Yan, why are you called Director Gu?" The students in the class immediately started to boo.

"Quiet!"

Yan Danchen knocked on the table with a slight blush and looked at Song Tie and Jing Tian.

"Teacher Yan, I will definitely perform well." The two stood up and said in unison.

"Well, I'll give you two half a day off. Let's go to Daystar now. Don't be late."

"Ah."

The two of them just followed each other and left the classroom.

Because they were in the same class, both belonged to Daystar, and they were about the same age, the two of them started talking while rushing to Daystar, "I can actually act in Director Gu's film. I feel like I'm about to realize my ultimate dream of being an actor." It’s a dream.” Song Tie looked expectant.

"What is your ultimate dream?" Jing Tian asked.

"Be the heroine of Gu's movie."

"How do you know you're not the heroine this time?"

"Ah? It's impossible, right?" Song Tie fantasized for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "If it were a commercial film, Director Gu's film would have to have a guarantee of US$100 million globally, so why wouldn't it be my turn to play the heroine? Use Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, and Jin to lock them up. It’s a literary film, and my acting skills can’t support it.”

"Hey, I'll be satisfied if I can play a supporting role."

"When I applied for Nortel, I didn't expect to be able to act in movies so soon. I thought it would take at least graduation, or even longer."

"Speaking of which, I don't know if Director Gu is fierce or not during filming."

"Any director, regardless of his usual personality, will always be fierce when filming." Jing Tian said, "There are so many people in a crew, and they spend money every moment. If you reshoot, the money will flow. Let’s go, you can be cruel even if you are a director.”

"But I know I have to act it out, so how can I not act it out?"

Jing Tian responded and looked at the building in the distance, feeling a little confused.

Didn’t Director Gu say that I should act in two TV series before acting in a movie?

How do you get me to star in his new movie?

However, when she thought about Chen Bing's rise to prominence, she first played a supporting role in Gu Ming's movies and then acted in TV series, and her doubts quickly dissipated.

There was even a strong sense of expectation.

It would be great if he could be as popular as Chen Bing now.

After taking a taxi, the two of them met Gu Ming soon.

Although this was not the first time they met, the two of them were still very nervous.

By the way, there aren’t any hidden rules in legends, right?

In fact, if it is true, it is not impossible...

"This is the role you two are going to play, Tie Zi. Your role is the daughter of a poor family. She is thoughtful and witty."

"Jing Tian, ​​the character you played can be summed up in two words: silly, sweet, and love-savvy."

"Ah." Jing Tian was stunned for a moment.

These two words are so good that they don’t even need to be acted out.

"Okay, you just read the script here. After reading it, I will randomly select two clips for you to act and see the effect."

Gu Ming handed each other their respective scripts.

After the two of them finished watching, let them perform casually.

how to say?

Tie Zi's talent is much better than Jing Tian's, so he has no problem playing this role. As for Jing Tian, ​​Gu Ming still needs to train and train him personally before he can perform this well.

It's more reluctant.

But who makes his fellow countrymen have a higher tolerance? Since training and training can also be used, then there is no need to replace others.

It is better to train her early than to train her late, so as not to make her act too eye-catching in the future and make her look like a star.

"Okay, it's just you two."

"Go back and think about it carefully. If it doesn't work, ask your teacher Yan and let her guide you."

"Yes."

……

That night, Yan Danchen hugged Gu Ming when he came back from get off work, "What should I say? How are my two students doing?"

"What do you think? You don't know what Jing Tian is doing?"

"She is a good girl, but in terms of acting, I can only say that there is a lot of room for improvement."

"Then you still use it?" Yan Danchen rolled his eyes, "You are always very tolerant of your fellow villagers."

"I am quite tolerant of your fellow villagers."

"Nonsense." Yan Danchen didn't believe it, "Then tell me, my fellow Xiangnan fellow from a few circles, to come and listen."

"Zhang Fengyi, Liao Fan, and the host of Xiangnan Satellite TV."

"Okay, you know a lot and you have interests. By the way, I think your movie "Parasite" has the potential to win awards!" Yan Danchen said, "I personally feel that it is not as shocking as "Shoplifters". It seems to be biased. It’s a little bit of a commercial film, but isn’t this kind of class-oriented film always the favorite of the judges?”

"Maybe I can help you get the fourth top three?"

"Why don't you think you might be able to help me win the Best Director Oscar?"

"It's unlikely." Yan Danchen smiled and shook his head, "It's not the same thing. Winning the Oscar for Best Director is a breakthrough for you and the entire film industry. The United States will not let you get your wish so easily. If you achieve your wish with a Chinese-language film, even if a film can win the Oscar for Best Director, as long as the director's name is changed to you, the probability will be reduced by at least half."

"I can't help it. Who asked me to award too many awards?"

Gu Ming was also helpless.

At the same time, I have no hope that this film will win the Oscar for Best Director.

Just because Bong Joon-ho was able to get it in his previous life does not mean that he can get it too.

Firstly, the other party has not gathered all the three major players, and secondly, he is from South Korea. Plus, with tens of millions of public relations funds, there will always be some sweetness.

But I am different.

This movie hasn't reached that level yet.

"Oh, just think of it as accumulating points."

"Can't you win the top three?" Yan Danchen asked again.

"You can go to Cannes and give it a try. If Cannes can't win it, the other two film festivals, this film is terrible and does not meet the preferences of those two film festivals."

"Even in Cannes, I can only say it's difficult."

Gu Ming rested his hands on his head and murmured, "After all, this is the fourth European Big Three for me. It breaks some unspoken rules, and the unspoken rules are sometimes scarier than the explicit rules."

"It depends on luck."

After all, I am not the Li Yu from my previous life!

When I won the fourth place in the top three, I met Zhang Yimou as the chairman of the jury, and I also met naive opponents like Jiang Wen.

But as for myself, I still can’t tell who will be the judge at next year’s Cannes.

And Li Eucalyptus didn’t win Cannes either.

But he wants to challenge for the second Palme d'Or in Cannes, which is recognized as the most difficult.

All I can say is, "It's up to me to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen." (End of this chapter)
