Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 169 My Brother Chao Has the Potential of an Oscar Winner! (Fourth Update)
……

……

"Should we take this opportunity to stockpile more novel copyrights?"

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Gu Qing shook her head and dismissed it.

It makes no sense.

Now three major companies have entered the market.

Tencent, which holds the largest copyright, is unlikely to release popular works.

Why don't you film your own works that are popular?
Even if they were released, they would have to be bought at a high price, which would be a losing proposition.

Furthermore,

What use is it for Gu Qing to buy the copyright to this online novel?

Did you take it to film yourself?
But where can the production crew find them?

Lighting; photography, directing, acting...

A whole host of things, including the unspoken rules within the film crew. Faced with a parasite, can he do anything about it?
It's a waste of energy, doesn't please anyone, and requires collaboration; you can't go it alone.

With this time,
He sang two songs and easily made millions per minute, earning back all his money.

Unlike literary works such as The Three-Body Problem, which are enduring classics with immense intellectual property value.

The benefits generated simply by holding it in one's hands are immeasurable.

……

—Take a plane to Kyoto.

Gu Qing, dressed in a concealed manner, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, walked into the premiere venue.

But even so,
Her charisma couldn't be hidden, and she attracted many curious glances.

Most of the people attending the premiere are from the media, and they have a very keen sense of smell. "This person must be an artist!"

Considering the young artists who have a good relationship with Deng Chao, an unexpected candidate emerges:
"Could he be Gu Qing?!"

"That's quite possible. They look very alike, and their demeanor is also very similar!"

"Dude, are you kidding me? You can tell someone looks like you?"

"He's covered up so tightly, how can you tell anything about him!"

"Dude, you can't see the facial features clearly, but can't you tell the shape of the face?"

They kept whispering among themselves.

Some people tried to come over and say hello, but were stopped by the bodyguards nearby.

Gu Qing nodded slightly to him and made a 'shh' gesture with her finger.

The man was overjoyed and quickly sat back down, turning his head to look back every now and then.

Soon, the premiere began.

The director, along with three award-winning actors Deng Chao, Duan Yihong, and Guo Tao, and actress Wang Luodan, appeared at the event.

To put it simply, you can go back to the background and start playing the movie.

Gu Qing took off his sunglasses and began to look at the screen intently.

The film "The Dead End" is adapted from the novel "Sunspots" by female writer Xu Yigua.
It tells the story of three sworn brothers from different backgrounds who raise an orphan girl together, and by chance, uncover a long-standing case.

The film begins with the occurrence of a case.

The director uses his technical skills to make the audience think they know who the murderer is, but the story begins on a rainy night seven years later.

Seven years ago, a family was murdered at a reservoir. Three naive young men, due to a momentary lapse in judgment, became desperate criminals burdened with guilt.
To atone for their sins, the three worked tirelessly and kept a low profile. They did not marry or make friends, and together they raised the daughter of a girl they had killed, living a life of atonement.

The three veteran actors are all top-notch performers.

Even when Deng Chao played Xin Xiaofeng, Gu Qing wanted to laugh when he first appeared, and couldn't get into the character.

But as the plot deepens,

Old Deng's acting skills were so outstanding that he was still immersed in the play.

Especially the scene of Deng Chao's final execution, his struggle and fear, and then his relief and acceptance at the moment of death...

Gu Qing felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

The smugness of having acted in several TV dramas before,
Seeing the truly caliber performances of the three award-winning actors completely shattered my expectations.

This is what an actor is!

At the end of the film, the entire creative team came on stage.

"Clap clap-"

The applause from the audience was continuous.

"Thank you for your support."

Director Cao Baoping, deeply moved, picked up the microphone and said, "The script for this film was in development for a year, the actors were invited to film for a year, and then the editing took another year."

Today I'm finally standing here. There are many opportunities in the film industry that seem like free lunches, but this one never seems to fall into my lap. Making movies is a very arduous task.

As he spoke, the man, who was nearly fifty, began to wipe away tears.

The host quickly took control of the situation and began interviewing movie fans in the audience to discuss the film.

"Mr. Duan Yihong, your previous image to the audience was Yuan Lang from 'Soldiers Sortie.' Why did you decide to act in this film?"

A media professional stood up and asked.

Duan Yihong took the microphone and said, "Actually, I personally feel that it's like a pie in the sky that found me for this film and gave me this opportunity."

Therefore, I had no reason not to invest myself in the creative process and to bring this character to life. During this time, we forged a brotherhood, and I fell in love with the actors I worked with.

"Teacher Yi Hong, I'd like to ask how much love there is," Gu Qing said, putting on sunglasses and standing up. "Is it like the love you showed Deng Chao in the play?"

"Hahaha--"

Laughter erupted from the audience.

Old Deng, who had been all smiles, suddenly stiffened, narrowed his eyes, and sized up the guy who had stood up to speak.

The more I look at it, the more familiar it seems.
Suddenly enraged, he grabbed the microphone, rushed off the stage, and yelled, "You stop right there!!"

"Help! Someone's been assaulted! A big star is hitting someone!!"

Gu Qing covered his head and ran away like a rat.

The sudden turn of events left everyone present completely bewildered.

Especially Cao Baoping and his entourage, who were the main actors, were so scared they almost peed their pants.

Actress Wang Luodan also covered her mouth in shock.

"Chao, our movie needs buzz, but we can't hype it up like this!"

They simply can't imagine the consequences if a scandal involving assaulting audience members were to really break out.

Duan Yihong and Guo Tao were the first to react, rushing off the stage to hug Deng Chao, saying, "Chao, calm down, calm down."

"You can't hit people!!"

"Who said I was going to hit someone?"

"I was just joking with him."

Deng Chao realized he had been misunderstood, so he chuckled and put down the microphone. He then waved to Gu Qing, who had run to the back row, and said, "You little brat, come here."

Why didn't you let me know you were coming?

"I have a surprise for you."

As Gu Qing spoke, she took off her sunglasses and mask, "How is it? Are you happy?"

"It's Gu Qing!!"

"A top celebrity has come to show their support!!"

"The brotherhood among the Running Man cast is real."

There were constant gasps of surprise from the audience.

"I'm so happy, so incredibly happy."

Deng Chao grinned from ear to ear, grabbed Gu Qing by the neck and punched him hard before leading him onto the stage. "I'm sure I don't need to introduce him to everyone, right?"

"My younger brother is more famous than me now."

"Hahaha."

Laughter erupted from the audience, and reporters frantically pressed their cameras.

"Director Cao, hello! Yi Hong, Tao, Luo Dan..."

Gu Qing greeted each of the main creators politely.

Hello, little brother.

Wang Luodan, who looks remarkably like Bai Baihe, had her long, narrow eyes sparkling when she saw Gu Qing, a rising star in the entertainment industry. "I've watched your Running Man show before."

"Thank you."

Gu Qing lightly touched her fingertips, then released them.

After greeting him, Deng Chao pulled him to his side.

Cao Baoping, the director, was very happy.
It's obviously a good thing that a top celebrity can help promote the premiere of one's own movie, and he was very amiable.

"Director, you've never spoken to us so gently before."

Deng Chao protested.

They were basically all subjected to a barrage of insults.

"Because you're not a young, handsome man."

Cao Baoping has kept up with the times. He patted Gu Qing on the shoulder and liked him more and more.

Gu Qing, with his delicate features and boy-next-door looks,
He had a scholarly air about him and looked very clean; he was practically every older generation's dream guy.

No wonder Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou now prefer to cast young, handsome actors in their movies.

This looks really comfortable and can effectively combat blood pressure.

"Gu Qing, hello. Right now, everyone online is praising you as a box office miracle and an industry 'lucky charm.' Can you predict the box office performance of this movie?"

A reporter asked Gu Qing a question.

"With a group of very talented seniors participating, I think the box office results will be good, at least 300 to 400 million, and it will win more awards."

Gu Qing was not afraid either.

Who do you think will win an award among the three lead actors?

"They will all win awards; each one has the potential to be a Best Actor."

"Hahaha--"

The lead actors and audience members present all laughed, thinking the child was just being polite.
