The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

Gu Yu blinked: "I know it's the Maple Leaf Award."

"What if I win the prize at that time?" Akashi took out his pocket, but found nothing. "Where is my acceptance speech? I remember I put it in my pocket."

Gu Yu: "...do you need to be so nervous?"

"Lend me to copy your acceptance speech." Akashi glanced at his watch, "Time is running out."

Gu Yu blinked and answered the other party honestly: "I didn't write it."

Akashi: "You didn't write it?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes."

This year's Maple Leaf Award, he really doesn't see any hope of winning the award. Gu Yu feels that as long as he maintains this mentality, he will not be affected in any way even if he fails to win the award.

"I admire you so much." Akashi looked up at Gu Yu with an expression of admiration.

Gu Yu sighed: "I really feel that I have no hope of winning an award. I'm not joking. If the chances are high, I will definitely prepare my acceptance speech."

"This year's Best Actor Division is indeed more competitive." Qu Xia frowned, "But don't lose your confidence, you may not be able to."

The director felt that if the jury had no intention of awarding the award to Gu Yu at all, then there was no need to nominate him twice—for such an authoritative film award as the Maple Leaf Award, I don’t know how many actors are vying for it in a year. But the jury would rather nominate Gu Yu for two. Could it be that they couldn't find a more suitable actor?

Obviously not.

Liu Kejin's "Vertical and Horizontal" and Dong Zhongsen's "Autumn Colors Grow Stronger" are indeed excellent. The two have shown deep or domineering acting skills in the movies, but does this mean that Gu Yu is worse than them?

"Crazy Idol" and "Tianji: Codename 998", two completely different types of movies, but Gu Yu has performed his own taste.

Can Liu Kejin play "Idol Fanatic", can Dong Zhongsen play "Autumn Colors Grow Stronger"?The answer is not necessarily.

As a director, Qu Xia felt that the industry was too harsh on Gu Yu—after all, the other party was just a young man, and he should be encouraged if he won the nomination. Just because the other party won the best supporting actor, he should not think that the other party has superpowers.

And now?Many people in the industry keep saying that Gu Yu is no better than Liu Kejin than Dong Zhongsen, why does Gu Yu accept this comparison?

Fortunately, Gu Yu has a good mentality. If he is compared like this every day, anyone with a slightly worse mentality will probably be depressed.

……

The car drove to the edge of the red carpet, and the sky was getting dark. Under the guidance of the on-site staff, all the crew of "Tianji: Code 998" got out of the car. Gu Yu was the tallest, and he held up a huge umbrella to block the others. Rain, fortunately, the rain has gradually subsided at this time, but the ground is still a little muddy.

The lights on both sides of the red carpet have already been turned on, and the fans couldn't see the faces of the people walking in the distance. They only heard bursts of excited shouts from the end of the red carpet. The next moment, the host of the red carpet The voice sounded——

"The next thing coming to us is the crew of "Secretary: Code 998", the film has been shortlisted, and this year's Maple Leaf Awards won five awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor, They are the most important awards of the Maple Leaf Awards."

Qu Xia and Lou Lou walked in front, and Gu Yu and Ming Shi walked in the back row. Both of them waved to both sides of the red carpet with smiles on their faces.

"Ahhhhhh!" "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Xu Shuheng and Shen Zhou! Alive! Here we come!"

"Gu Shanyu! Akashi! Look here, look here!"

"Ahhhhh! They smiled at me, am I dreaming?"

Both Gu Yu and Akashi are dressed in weaving suits, low-key and introverted. After experiencing the red carpet of the Maple Leaf Awards several times, Gu Yu is more casual and has no intention of overwhelming the audience with his handsomeness - after all, he has works beside him, walking on the red carpet I have the confidence on the blanket, and I don't worry that the live camera will not pay attention to me at all.

"Gu Shanyu is really getting more and more handsome. He was already good-looking and charming, and he has become more and more attractive in the past two years."

"Super handsome Gu Shanyu, you are the best!"

"Today's Yuyu is also a good fortune!"

The fans certainly hope that Gu Yu can win the Best Actor of this year's Maple Leaf Award in one go, but they also understand what kind of award the Maple Leaf Award is, so even if Gu Yu can't get it this time, the fans will not feel uncomfortable.

On the contrary, they firmly believed that Gu Yu would be successful in the future.

This is not self-confidence without reason, but the confidence accumulated by Gu Yu's past works.

……

After the red carpet session was over, the nominees and guests came to sit at the scene - the seats for the Maple Leaf Awards were divided according to the crew, and when "Jianghu" and "Magpie" were shortlisted, Gu Yu sat in the best seat in the audience. The one-time "Tianji: Code 998" is no exception.

On his left are Qu Xia and Lou Lou, and on his right is Akashi.

Jiang Chuan came from the crew of "Idol Fanatic". Although the film was not shortlisted for best film, Jiang Chuan was nominated for best screenplay again. She waved at Gu Yu from a distance, and ran over to meet with Gu Yu before the ceremony started. Gu Yu chatted for a while.

"The filming of "1912" is over, how do you feel?"

"Tired." Gu Yu sighed, "It's much more tiring than filming "Idol Fanatic."

"Fei Tao is my junior, a different major. I have collaborated with him on a short film before. He is so serious that most people can't stand it. This time "1912" should be similar, right?"

Gu Yu shook his head: "Director Fei is very serious about his work."

"I forgot, you are also a picky guy, you two might hit it off."

Jiang Chuan was very serious in the crew, but in private she was lively and easy to get along with. She and Gu Yu seriously complained about Fei Tao for a while, and then chatted with Lou Lou—the entertainment industry is a circle, and the screenwriters also have their own little things. In the circle, Lou Lou and Jiang Chuan belong to the first line, but because there are not many conflicts due to the different writing themes, they can chat a little more at ordinary times.

After a while, many people surrounded them in a circle.

After "Tianji: Codename 998" became popular, Qu Xia's value rose sharply. He is already a well-known director in the circle. This year, "Tianji" has plans to make a second part. Take a chance.

The ones chatting with Lou Lou and Jiang Chuan were several directors that Gu Yu was not familiar with, including the directors of "Growing Autumn" and "My Father", and they would chat with Gu Yu after they came over.

After a while, a lot of numbers were added to Gu Yu's phone.

This is the habit of interacting with people in the circle, and Gu Yu is no stranger to it. Although business talks usually go through the channel of the agent, there are also ways of bypassing the agent and communicating with the artist himself.

"It's the first time I've seen so many bosses." Akashi trembled, "Give me another chance to be shortlisted, and I shouldn't be afraid."

"Let's talk about winning the prize first." Gu Yu patted Akashi on the shoulder, "Are we going to make a sequel after a while?"

"That's right." Akashi nodded, "Editor Lou seems to have revised the second version of the script, shall we discuss it then?"

"it is good."

After waiting for a while, the time was close to 8 o'clock in the evening, Gu Yu changed into the special dress for receiving awards again, and quietly waited for the award ceremony to start.

Before the ceremony started, Gu Yu noticed that there were people in the front and rear rows of him.

The front row is Liu Kejin, the male protagonist of "Vertical and Horizontal", and the back row is Dong Zhongsen, the "Autumn Colors" - according to the layout of the awards ceremony, the nominees for male protagonists are arranged vertically, and the four male protagonist nominees Just sit on a column.

When the camera came over, Gu Yu was exchanging greetings with Dong Zhongsen. At this moment, all four nominees fell into the camera. Compared with all the gray-haired old men, Gu Yu was frighteningly young.

"It's hard to imagine that Gu Yu is competing with such a group of people."

"There were so many films released last year. In fact, the main force of male protagonists is Zhongsheng. It's a pity that none of Zhongsheng was shortlisted for Best Actor this year."

"Facts: The average age of the Best Actor nominees for the Maple Leaf Awards this year is 58.3 years old. Think about it, how much has Gu Yu lowered it by himself?"

"I just want to boast, Gu Shanyu will always be a god, Gu Shanyu, you are superman!"

Probably because there were too many middle-aged and elderly nominees, the audience would not like it. After the awards ceremony started, the camera fell on Gu Yu from time to time.

The old seniors in the circle sat in the front and rear rows, so close to each other, Gu Yu and Akashi were as obedient as quails, they didn't dare to speak aloud, only dared to speak secretly.

As in previous years, the first awards are still technology awards. Neither "Idol Fanatical" nor "Tianji: Codename 998" was shortlisted for this type of award, but "Bloody Battle Robe", which competed with "Tianji" in the summer file, was shortlisted for the best award. Photography Award - In terms of the screen, "Blood in Battlecloak" has a grand scene, majestic momentum, and the ability to render the atmosphere is quite powerful.

This award was finally taken away by "Vertical and Horizontal" starring Liu Kejin.

"Vertical and Horizontal" captures the battle between countries beautifully and fiercely, like a picture scroll of war laid out - both are war themes, and in the comparison between ancient and modern times, it is the ancient "Vertical and Horizontal" that is more popular with the jury favor.

"Will "Vertical and Horizontal" be the best film of the year?" Liu Kejin was sitting in front, and Akashi kept his voice very low, lest he be heard by the other party.

Gu Yu shook his head: "How do I know that?"

Still depends on the final selection of the jury.The jury selected "Jianghu" the year before last. According to the general trend, films with ancient themes are actually not very popular with the Maple Leaf Award jury. "This kind of boutique is even rarer.

In Gu Yu's view, "Vertical and Horizontal" may not be able to win, because this year's modern themes "My Father" and "Autumn Colors Grow Stronger" are rare masterpieces. Although "Tianji: Code 998" is a commercial film, it won the Maple Leaf Award A work that sees the possibility of change from within——

Business and art are not incompatible.

As long as the plot of this work is brilliant, the characterization is reasonable, and the actors can also show wonderful acting skills, it is enough.

Only now, such works seem to be less and less.

Don't commercial movies need acting skills?Don’t literary and artistic works need wonderful plots?The answer is obviously no.

"It's really exciting." Akashi said with emotion, "This is the battlefield."

"Yes." Gu Yu nodded.

The recognition of the Maple Leaf Award is both motivation and motivation, whether it is for the actors or the work itself.
