The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

"Hey, let's go fishing next time, I'll definitely catch it." Gu Yu stretched, "Brother Yan, when will we be together?"

"I don't want you to rub my fish." Yan Xiu stared at Gu Yu silently, "Do you know the schedule of "Tianji"?"

"Director Qu didn't inform me, it should be this year." Gu Yu shook his head, "I'll ask again later."

The second part of "Secretary Secret" is not cheap, and it can earn the good reputation and high box office accumulated by the first film. No matter what schedule it is in, such a movie is worthy of vigilance by opponents. Naturally, "Kingdom of Money" does not want to collide with "Secretary Secret". files.

Of course, generally speaking, movies starring the same actor will not be arranged in the same schedule.

"If it's also going to be this year, then aren't you going to be in three movies this year?" Yan Xiu handed Gu Yu a pack of melon seeds, "It's a bit too much."

"Yes." Gu Yu took the melon seeds, took the tray to the balcony of Director Zhao's house, and licked the melon seeds while basking in the sun.

"Land of Money" is actually okay, the film cost is low, and it is Yan Xiu's first time as a director, so the audience will be more or less tolerant.

The second part of "Heaven's Secret" is different. With the first film in front, the box office performance of more than 30 billion is a kind of pressure. What's more, there is already a box office monster called "1912" this year. It is also unknown whether "Secretary" will ignite enthusiasm.

Qu Xia's bottom line is - I hope the box office of the first film can surpass that of the second film, but the director is just thinking about it. It is not so easy to break through the box office of more than 30 billion, and the film may not even reach the reputation of the first film.

The pressure for a sequel lies here.

Gu Yu has a vague feeling that the three films released this year seem to make the director autistic.

He heard from Lou Lou that Qu Xia is also in retreat recently, vowing to cut out the style and momentum of the second part, which will definitely exceed the level of the first part.

Gu Yu's thought at that moment was - another crazy one.

He will never do the job of directing!

"Three films in a row, everything else is okay, I'm worried about the audience's aesthetic fatigue." Fang Jun continued, "It's the same for the film itself. Compare the movies."

The agent glanced at Yan Xiu: "You have to be mentally prepared."

"How about I change it to next year." Yan Xiu laughed dryly, "I may not be able to bear such pressure."

Yan Xiu's words are of course joking. "Land of Money" is planned to be released this year. The probability of this year's release must be high. The movie can be released in the morning as much as possible. If it is delayed, the pressure on the director and crew will be even greater.

"Work hard, Brother Yan, I believe in you." Gu Yu patted Yan Xiu's shoulder lightly, "Just as you said, 70 billion."

"If it's not enough, you can chip in for me?"

"I can buy two tickets to go to the movie theater to support." Gu Yu smiled at the other party, "No more than 10 tickets."

Yan Xiu was completely defeated by Gu Yu's stinginess.

We usually don't have much time to get together, even if we meet, we are talking about movies. Zhao Hang just mentioned "Ancient Sword", and this topic has never stopped since the beginning-his old man happened to go with his family during the Spring Festival. After watching "1912", he was so shocked after watching it that he couldn't slow down for a while. He saw that "Ancient Sword" next door was also promoting "Hollywood's top special effects team", so he bought a ticket and went in to watch a show. .

It's okay if you don't watch it, but the director is really angry when you see it.

The special effects are half worse than "1912", and the story line is also messed up. It's just nonsense. The worst thing is, after watching it, the eyes are dazzled by those colorful special effects. He directly forgot what "1912" brought him It's amazing.

Zhao Hang felt that "Ancient Sword" was simply spiritual pollution.

Spending 8.6 million yuan to make such a thing, it is impossible for a veteran director like Zhao Hang to be straightforward. With his usual filming expenses and the level of "Ancient Sword", he can basically spend 2 to 3 million yuan to get it done. , and can tell the story much more beautifully than the other party.

Once the director started talking, he couldn't stop talking about "Ancient Sword" for more than half an hour. If he didn't care about the face of the insiders, he could even go online.

It wasn't until this time that Gu Yu realized that Director Zhao was indeed a hot-blooded man.

……

Without the media's follow-up and continuous reports, Gu Yu finally returned to a normal life. Fans saw news of Gu Yu wandering somewhere from time to time, but the fans neither urged Gu Yu to join the group nor went to Gu Yu The place where they play is chased and intercepted.

In the words of the fans themselves, they are a group of comfortable fans of Buddhism.

Career fans are worried that their idols are too lazy and cause their careers to stagnate. Some radical ones will even take off their fans directly. Fans want to announce to the world that once their idols are too idle, they will even go to a Japanese agency. and brokers.

In this regard, pollen is more stringent than cornstarch.

The weight of the idol should be taken care of, the love should be taken care of, and even the makeup and hair style should be pointed out.

In contrast, fans of male stars are much more tolerant.

Of course, this has something to do with the shelf life of female stars’ careers. Even if they are in the same entertainment industry and are on the same front line, it is difficult for an actress to get a job, and it is also difficult for an actress to become popular. The entire industry is harsh on actresses. Actress' book.

Fans hope that actresses will cherish their time and be promoted in time, but Gu Yu feels that this is harsh in another sense, and it just transfers the injustice of the industry to actresses.

Unfortunately, this status quo is difficult to change for the time being.

Gu Yu was thinking, when he is free someday, he can also try female subjects, not necessarily acting, even if he supports it.

"You think a lot." Yan Xiu commented on him, "But it's not impossible. When filming "The Kingdom of Money", I kept thinking about how I should play your role and how I should play mine. We don't have the right to speak for female characters."

When they see characters of the same gender, they naturally look at them with scrutiny. On the contrary, they can see more flashes of inspiration in characters that they cannot play.

……

After the Ching Ming holiday, the 80th Maple Leaf Awards will be held as scheduled. Gu Yu has no film nominations for this year's Maple Leaf Awards, so he can happily watch the film until the end.

Among the people he knew, Xu Qian was once again nominated for Best Actress, and Lu Shaoyang was nominated for Best Actor again after "Jianghu".

In this year's competition for best actor, Lu Shaoyang has always been a popular candidate.

For this year's Maple Leaf Awards, the industry believes that compared to last year's scenes of gods fighting and dancing with demons, this year is undoubtedly a small year for the Maple Leaf Awards. The competition in each department is not too big, and there are no surprises such as "Tianji" and "Zongheng". Bright works appear.

Gu Yu got the invitation letter from Fang Jun, and also watched the five works shortlisted for the best film in advance. His judgment is basically the same as that of professional film critics. The quality of this year's works is not bad, but in the case of last year, Some works may not even be shortlisted for best picture.

After all, last year "Idol" was not shortlisted for the best picture, and this year, "Idol" is very promising.

As an award presenter, Gu Yu needs to attend the red carpet on the day of the award ceremony, and also needs to arrive at the venue in advance for rehearsal. As soon as he arrived at the venue, Gu Yu received a warm call from Akashi: "Gu Yu, here!"

"Hey!" Gu Yu waved at the other party from a distance, "You are here too."

"Award presenter, this kind of job can't be turned away." Akashi punched Gu Yu, "It's you, you haven't shown up since "1912" was released."

"I was forced to come here by Director Zhao." Gu Yu explained, "I have been absent so many times, if I don't come this time, Director Zhao will lose face."

"That's true." Akashi asked Gu Yu, "Have you ever been an award presenter before?"

Gu Yu shook her head honestly: "No."

In his previous life, he had presented many awards to others, but he had never tried it in this life.

The director team of the awards ceremony probably also knew the situation of Gu Yu and Akashi, and held them for a long time, including how to move, the time from the backstage to the stage, the duration, the stuck point, and reminded the guests to save speaking time... Gu Yu Unexpectedly, the awarding procedure in just a few minutes was quite complicated.

Gu Yu memorized it for a long time before he managed to remember the sequence, and was reminded several times when he went to practice.

Gu Yu: "...I kind of want to go home."

"No chance." Zhao Hang happened to come over to check the situation at this time. Hearing Gu Yu's words, the director frowned, "Where do you want to go?"

Gu Yu: "I don't think so."

——Recently, the director has been overwhelmed by the status of the chairman of the judging committee. According to Fang Jun, this job is very difficult. It needs to coordinate personnel, send out tickets for each member and then collect them, and determine the number of guests. , the evaluation of shortlisted films...

All in all, the recent Director Zhao is not easy to mess with.

The director himself said that he was dragged onto a pirate ship. It seems that no one who is older than him is willing to be the chairman of the jury. The oldest ones directly named Zhao Hang. Its name is to let young people exercise.

Director Zhao could only curse quietly.

When he entered the circle of directors, those few were his seniors, who taught him how to be a director. Zhao Hang created many awards and box office records, but in front of those few, Zhao Hang was always a junior.

He even learned his temper from several seniors.

To be a director, one must have a bad temper and a loud voice. Zhao Hang had a good temper in front of Gu Yu and the others, but when he arrived on the set, he was immediately strict as if everyone owed him money.

Zhao Hang, as a professional in the technical genre, is the chairman of the judging committee to drive ducks to the shelves. He spends his mind on wrangling things every day, and has already accumulated a lot of anger.

It's a pity that among the directors of his generation, he has the deepest background, and other people will be questioned if they become the chairman of the jury.

The Maple Leaf Award is also waiting for a few actors to take over from the directors. Gu Yu is not considered yet, but according to Director Zhao, Gu Yu doesn't need to be too impatient, it will be his turn one day.

Gu Yu: "...don't cue if you have nothing to do, I'm not here."

After being slapped by the director, Gu Yu didn't dare to do anything wrong, and even complained secretly with Akashi on WeChat.

The last time he and Akashi met was at the premiere of "1912". Akashi has not been idle since he finished the second part of "Tianji". He has made two new movies. He didn't focus on movies. A serious script.

"In the past, such a good book wouldn't come to me, and even if it did, I wouldn't be able to play the male lead."

The performance of the movie "Sky Secret" has really changed Akashi's career as an actor.

He is not the kind of actor who wants to become a big star and is admired by thousands of fans, but after he played "Tianji" and won the Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor, he has more opportunities to choose.

There is motivation when there is a choice. After he became popular, his income increased, and even his agent was full of energy. Akashi was not the most valued artist in the company. In the past two years, the company's promotional focus has been changed to him. Friendly resources are also He comes first.

This feeling is really cool.

"That's great." Gu Yu said with emotion, "That's why we have to keep shooting good works."

"Yes." Akashi glanced at Gu Yu, and sent him a message on WeChat, "One day, I will also stand on the awarding stage of the Maple Leaf Award Best Actor."

Gu Yu frowned slightly.

The next message popped up again.

"My target now—is you."

"Wait for me to challenge."

Gu Yu smiled at the other party: "I'll wait."
