The King of Bad Movies[Entertainment Circle]

"Tianji" is still a bit of a deep work style. "Idol" sounds like a popular fan movie a few years ago. At that time, popular variety shows have released big movies. It is clear that it is to make money from fans, but there are still fans. support.

Industry insiders criticized this phenomenon at the time.

——However, "Idol Fanatic" is not a money-making work, on the contrary, it is a star's dream pursuit.

It doesn't matter if you are reviled by thousands of people, and it doesn't matter if you are abandoned by fans.

As long as he has a dream, he can live.

"Crazy Idol" is the story of such a person.

The directors of these two films are not as well-known as Zhao Hang and Ling Zhihuai, and it is not like Zhang Hui who lacks directing experience. These two directors are considered to be the backbone of the film industry. .

Gu Yu read the script carefully again. Sure enough, he still thinks these two books are his favorite. Although the other books are of good quality, Gu Yu feels that they are not so suitable for him.

He couldn't help but look at his agent: "What's your opinion?"

"Is it enough if you like it?" Fang Jun shrugged, "With "Graduation Season", you can afford to pay for two movies. Besides, there is no way to go anywhere with these two movies."

After all, he was acting as a manager for Yan Xiu and Gu Yu, so he still has a good eye for scripts.

Fang Jun even felt that the script "Crazy Idol" might even win an award - no matter from which angle you look at it, this film is clearly a one-man show starring the leading role.

With Gu Yu's strength, he can definitely act well.

……

Fang Jun is absolutely action-oriented when it comes to communicating with the film crew. Gu Yu waited for less than a day, and both crews let go of their willingness to cooperate with his time. After the contract was signed, Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Choosing a script feels more tiring than acting in a movie for a month." Gu Yu heaved a sigh of relief, "I really am suitable for living a planned life."

"Two movies a year are actually okay, not tiring." Fang Jun pondered, "In a few days, you can go to the crew of "Silent Bloom" to report."

"Okay."

"Silent Bloom" is the movie with the main theme that Fang Jun mentioned before. In fact, although Gu Yu was invited for this movie, the actors of several short stories are all first-line celebrities in the circle. The role doesn't have many roles at all, he mainly shows his face.

E Hai, Yan Xiu, Geng Rushui... To be honest, even at the Maple Leaf Awards ceremony, Gu Yu had never seen so many living Maple Leaf Award winners.

In front of this group of people, his Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor is really nothing.

Even if "Graduation Season" passed 20 billion, there are still 50 billion leading actors in this group of people.

But making such a film does not require too much pressure, because this kind of film usually does not require the actors to show extreme emotions, Gu Yu's performance is enough.

Gu Yu went there with the intention of making friends, but he gained the attention of many bigwigs in the circle - the Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor and the leading actor with a box office of 20 billion did not pay attention to them, they cared more about Zhao behind Gu Yu Hang, no matter what, Gu Yu was also signed by Zhao Hang.

In this film, Gu Yu plays a scientist when he was young, and the old part is played by Maple Leaf actor Geng Rushui. There are very few fragments of the scientist when he was young, and it appears in the memory. Gu Yu only shows his side face. Said two or three lines only.

...In fact, the filming was finished in less than a day.

But Fang Jun is right to say that it will take more than ten days, because the rules of the crew of "Silent Bloom" are very strict, and Gu Yu needs to adapt to the crew's requirements to modify the scenes at any time.

Even so, there are still many young actors who envy Gu Yu.

Starring in "Silent Bloom" does not mean a high box office, or what kind of awards can be won, it only represents the recognition of the actor's status in the circle.

If you are popular enough and your grades are good enough, others will take you to play.

Many people do not even have such qualifications.

Of course, these actors are not all looking at Zhao Hang's face - with the box office hit of "Graduation Season", Gu Yu is likely to stand as a first-line actor in the future, and they will inevitably cooperate with him.

The confrontation between Yan Xiu and Gu Yu in "The Magpie" has always been considered a classic, and as actors, they all look forward to their performance in the movie.

A well-received and well-received movie like "Magpie" is indeed rare, but it also needs suitable actors to perform it well.

So, one morning, when Gu Yu's fans woke up, they suddenly found that there were more than a dozen god-level actors on their idol's watch list.

The most important thing is that it wasn't Gu Yu who was so hot, all those great masters have returned to the customs.

"Zai Zai is promising!"

"Gu Shanyu, why are you so promising?"

Having been fans of Gu Yu for so long, in just the past two years, the fans have a feeling that their kung fu is useless.

I don't need to talk about super talk CP and the like, and I don't need to use tags to harass other bloggers. I never need to add "natural idol" or "treasure boy" to my name.

Arguing with others directly won the Maple Leaf Award for Best Supporting Actor. A "Magpie" is enough for fans to sing for half a year, not to mention the recent addition of "Graduation Season".

What's even more annoying is that in the first few days after "Graduation Season" was released, they couldn't even buy tickets, and they lived like a group of fake fans.

Gu Yu is too lazy, he doesn't mind if he is not open, and he walks slowly, and immediately turns into a long-distance runner when he is stopped by fans.

——The whole thing is outrageous.

But every time, Gu Yu can give the best work.

"Graduation Season" and the theme song "Boat" are the biggest surprises.

Although the fans also want to see Gu Yu posting selfies and vlogs, they also know very well that Gu Yu, who continues to walk on the road of actor, is still different from the Gu Yu who is an idol.

The two are not incompatible, but as fans, they hope that their idols can do what they like, so it doesn't matter if they are patient.

"Although I still want to see the fresh Gu Shanyu, hey~"

"Hey, it's okay for Link to reunite again. Hurry up and release "Graduation Season" on the disc or on the platform, I want to suck Chiyue like crazy!"

……

After filming "Silent Bloom", the weather had completely cooled down. Gu Yu changed from a sweater to a woolen coat, and went to the studio to hang out when he had nothing to do.

"Hey, Gu Yu is here!" Yan Xiu waved at Gu Yu, "Is "Jiang Hu" coming soon?"

Gu Yu nodded: "Soon."

Yan Xiu is also a very busy person. In addition to being an actor, he also serves as a director of the official association. Not long ago, he went abroad to promote movies.

He was also the one who brought Gu Yu here today.

It is said that he served as the chairman of the jury at the film festival, but unfortunately there were not enough stars on the red carpet, so he wanted to draw Gu Yu to make up for it.

"Director Ling's Mr. Zhao also discussed it, and let "Jianghu" be the opening film."

Gu Yu asked suspiciously: "Isn't "Jianghu" scheduled to be released on New Year's Day?"

"It doesn't matter if it's the opening film." Yan Xiu sighed, "Who knew it would be so troublesome to hold a film festival. If I knew it, I would have pushed it. But, it is imperative to promote movies, and we filmmakers can do this."

The film festival that Yan Xiu is the chairman of has only held its first edition this year, mainly to promote those films that are not commercial in nature.

After all, commercial blockbusters don’t need to go through the channel of film festivals. Some of them are funded by fathers who are willing to invest. Winning awards is just icing on the cake, and earning money is the right way.

As for literary and artistic films, even if the filming is over, the theaters are not willing to arrange the films, and there are still a lot of films that are in the process of being shot due to lack of money.

Large-scale film festivals already have a set of formal procedures, and there is no shortage of sponsors—with Yan Xiu's wealth and status, there is no need for him to get involved in such matters.

But Yan Xiu has a strong sense of responsibility as a filmmaker.

He is willing to do what others are unwilling to do, otherwise there are many seniors in the circle who are more qualified than him, so there is no need for him to be a young man.

Gu Yu: "I'm so touched!"

Yan Xiu: "...Then I will give you the chairman, why don't you?"

"No." Gu Yu smiled, "But if there is something I can help with, it's absolutely fine. If there is a suitable film, I can also invest in it."

Yan Xiu stared at Gu Yu, and then suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, you are also a rich man."

The sharing contract between Gu Yu and the crew of "Graduation Season" is well known in the circle.

Gu Yu blinked: "It's not as rich as you."

"Teacher Zhao is also a local tyrant, but I can't just look for him to keep stalking." Yan Xiu showed Gu Yu the films participating in the film festival and some high-quality scripts, "Is the quality okay?"

Gu Yu nodded: "It's all good."

"Unfortunately, after searching around for these films, no one wants to vote for them." Yan Xiu said helplessly, "However, recently, scripts with similar themes to "Graduation Season" are very popular. Basically, one votes for another, even if it is not Youth films, in the name of realism, are also favored by many investors."

Gu Yu said with emotion: "It was the same with Director Zhang. He tried a lot of ways to get the money."

This is probably the contradiction between art and reality.

No matter how profitable a movie is, a movie is a movie after all, and it is still an art thing, but the people who make the movie themselves have no money.

Those who have money to invest in movies just want to make more money.

Not to mention that the two ideas hit it off, it can only be said that they are far apart.

Commercial movies are better, everyone has the same goal of making money.

Those who engage in literary and artistic films do not make money, but they want to deceive people to invest in money. After the deception is over, they still do not make money. After a long time, those who have been taken advantage of are not willing to invest again.

"A few years ago, laymen came in and the market was pretty good. In the past two years, the investment has always been based on big data and audience preferences... Some people just touch the keyboard and use their face to roll out a proposal, and some bosses invest money. Some people are stupid, and they shoot down-to-earth Nobody cares about those movies that are popular or not."

Gu Yu knew that what Yan Xiu said was true, but unfortunately they couldn't change this situation for the time being.

"I heard that you accepted "Tianji" and "Idol"?" Yan Xiu asked suddenly.

Gu Yu nodded: "Yes."

"That's good." Yan Xiu patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, "Graduation Season" became a hit and gave a lot of life to films with the same theme. "Tianji" and "Idol" are both quite biased, and they can really explode. good."

"Lend your auspicious words."

"It will definitely be. I don't believe in anything else, but I believe in your vision."
