Hollywood's Whimsical Life

Returning to 2011, life's path began to diverge from the moment he filled out his college application.

Discovering he had actually enrolled in a performance major and seeing familiar face...

Chapter 748 A Perfect Person

Chapter 748 A Perfect Person

After everyone chatted for a while, a staff member came over to inform us that the crew of "The Wandering Earth" were preparing to walk the red carpet.

The two girls, Zhao Jinmai and Meng Ziyi, did not come. The cast of "The Wandering Earth" was full of gentlemen, all wearing black suits, and walking with great momentum.

".The next crew to walk the red carpet was the crew of The Wandering Earth.

They received five nominations at this ceremony, including Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Recording, and Best Art Direction.

Let us welcome the renowned director Guo Fan, starring Gu Wei and Wu Jing, screenwriters Gong Geer and Yan Dongxu, and cinematographer Liu Lin."

Amid the host's welcome speech, Gu Wei and others came out from the waiting area and walked onto the red carpet.

“Ahhhhhh!”

"Gu Wei! Gu Wei, look this way!"

"Wu Jing! A real man!"

"Gu Wei is so handsome!!"

As soon as these people appeared, deafening screams came from the media audience area on the side.

Although there are countless big-name stars in the Golden Rooster Awards, the combination of Gu Wei and Wu Jing is undoubtedly the most popular, which is unmatched.

The red carpet was not long, and everyone quickly walked to the signature board. After signing, they turned around and stood still, giving the media a chance to take pictures.

Gu Wei and Guo Fan stood in the middle, and Wu Jing stood on the other side of Gu Wei.

Flash cameras flashed constantly in the audience and the shouts of reporters could be heard.

"Gu Wei, look this way!"

"Wu Jing, look to the left!"

"Teachers, please come closer!"

After the photos were taken, several members of the "The Wandering Earth" crew entered the Straits Grand Theatre. The award ceremony had not yet begun, so all the celebrity artists present went to the lounge arranged by the organizer first.

"Boss Gu and Brother Jing are so popular that the reporters who just came over to take pictures are so busy that their shutters are about to spark. I can't even open my eyes because of the shaky view."

Guo Fan said with a smile as he walked in.

“Unfortunately, the latter two films were either set too early and Mr. Gu’s character hadn’t been born yet, or too late and Brother Jing had already died.

Otherwise, I will have to find a way to arrange for you two to be together."

After hearing his words, Gu Wei joked, "That's easy. We're living in the future, right? Brother Jing's character died, so it's hard to resurrect him. You could create a robot based on his appearance, and then have it fight alongside Liu Qi."

After Gu Wei finished speaking, Guo Fan's eyes lit up and he looked at the screenwriter Gong Geer beside him.

"That's a good idea, why didn't I think of it."

"I just said it casually. Director Guo should create according to his own ideas and don't be influenced by me." Gu Wei realized that his joke might be taken seriously, so he quickly added.

"Mr. Gu, your suggestion is very pertinent and it's an idea. Let's study it carefully when we get back," Guo Fan said seriously.

Gu Wei spread his hands and said nothing more. After all, "The Wandering Earth" was a project controlled by Guo Fan. He and China Film were only responsible for providing manpower and money. The investors would support Guo Fan in any way he wanted to shoot the film.

"Am I going to play a robot?" Wu Jing laughed.

"It's okay actually. I have experience in this role. When I was filming Robot, I played a robot, but I was a villain."

This year is a big year for the Golden Rooster Awards, with many excellent works and many big stars attending the award ceremony.

After walking the red carpet, everyone came in, either with their own crew or chatting with friends they had good relationships with. The lounge was like a place for celebrities to socialize.

"Mr. Gu~"

Several people from the [Dying to Survive] crew came in earlier. Seeing Gu Wei arrive, Wen Mu also hurriedly dragged Xiao Yang over.

"Dying to Survive" was nominated for seven major awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing, more than "The Wandering Earth".

Not surprisingly, since its release last year, "Dying to Survive" has won numerous awards at home and abroad, including the Golden Horse Awards for Best Director and Best Actor, the Academy Awards for Best Cross-Strait Chinese-language Film, and the Huading Awards for Best Picture in June.

"Director Wen, Xiao Yang, I hope you two can return with a successful outcome today!" Gu Wei encouraged with a smile.

"Participation is what's important. I've seen all the nominees with me, and they're all talented and powerful names. I feel it's normal for anyone to win the award," Xiao Yang said modestly.

The competition for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor this year is very fierce, including Wang Jingchun [Eternal Love], Yang Taiyi [Passing Zhaoguan], Duan Yihong [The Blizzard Is Coming], Tu Men [Old Beast], and Fu Dalong [Entering the Capital].

Of course there is also Xiao Yang's [Dying to Survive].

It is normal that Gu Wei's Liu Qi in "The Wandering Earth" was not selected for this lineup.

Science fiction movies are mainly about visual effects, and the depth of characters is much less than that of feature films.

"Director Wen, how is the preparation for [Zhou Chu] going?" Gu Wei mentioned the new movie that will start shooting next month.

“The pre-production crew is all ready, there is only one problem at the moment.

About the location selection of the filming location.

Because the story of the movie takes place in Taiwan, I began to plan to find a small city with a similar style in southern Fujian.

Later I thought about it and decided it would be better to shoot in Taiwan. This way, not only would the pressure on the set design be much less, but it would also allow us to include some of Taiwan’s landmark buildings, making the shot more convincing.”

What Wen Mu said also makes sense. The story background of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" must take place in Taiwan, otherwise it will not pass the review.

Although Taiwan and the mainland share the same origin, there are still some differences in architectural style, signboard text, etc.

If you want the audience to believe that the story takes place in Taiwan, there must be no flaws in the details. This is the same as when Gu Wei filmed "Detective Chinatown" in Thailand, New York, and Tokyo.

"No problem. Arrange for someone to survey the location as soon as possible so as not to delay the filming starting next month."

In such occasions, Gu Wei was like a magnet, attracting all kinds of people to come forward to say hello and chat.

There are good friends, such as Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and Sun Li, Huang Bo, Li Bingbing, Jing Boyan, Zhang Yishan, etc.

There are also many film directors and producers. He is not only the most popular actor, but his company "Wei Ming Tian Xia" is also one of the leading companies in the domestic film industry.

Ni Ni also came to the Golden Rooster Awards today. Her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Wei appear, but seeing that there were many people around him, she did not go over and just waved and said hello from a distance.

".Are you close to Gu Wei?"

Liu Shishi, who was beside her, saw this scene and asked curiously.

The two walked the red carpet together today. Nini was dressed as a black swan and Liu Shishi was dressed as a white swan. One was tall and the other had an elegant temperament, which added a lot of color to the red carpet ceremony.

"I worked with him on a movie before, [Ex-Files 3], you forgot."

Ni Ni and Liu Shishi have known each other for a long time and are just ordinary friends. They have been in contact more recently because they are about to collaborate on "The Best of Us".

"I know," Liu Shishi said with emotion as she watched Gu Wei chatting and laughing with some seniors from afar.

"Gu Wei is considered a legendary star in the current entertainment industry.

There are always many popular stars, but he is the only one who has become as popular as him over the years.

And the hardest part is, he never seems to fail.

This is horrible.”

Liu Shishi looked at Gu Wei with complicated eyes. She used to be very good friends with Yang Mi, but later they broke up for various reasons.

Gu Wei and Yang Mi have a close relationship. Not only have they collaborated on several plays together, but he is also a shareholder of her company.

In the eyes of outsiders, Gu Wei played an indispensable role in Yang Mi's current popularity.

[Three Lives, Three Worlds] and [Assassin's Blade 2] are the resources he gave to Yang Mi.

"You've worked with him on a play and had in-depth contact with him. What kind of person do you think Gu Wei is?"

Liu Shishi asked curiously.

He had been curious about Gu Wei a long time ago because of Nazha's contract termination, but later she got married and had children and returned to her family, and Lao Cai from Tangren no longer cared about the company, so the two had no chance to come into contact.

"Gu Wei," Nini thought for a moment.

"A particularly perfect person!"

"Perfect?"

"Yes, didn't you just say that he never fails?

If you get in touch with him, you will find that Gu Wei is outstanding in every aspect, from appearance to inner qualities.

Fortunately, he is a man and I am a woman, so there is no need to compare.

Otherwise, it would be really depressing if you had too much contact with him!"

There is a certain filter in Nini's eyes for Gu Wei, but this is also her true inner thoughts.

"Is it so exaggerated?" Liu Shishi was a little unconvinced.

"Of course, it's almost impossible to find any flaws in him. He's truly a very charming person."

After Ni Ni finished speaking, she secretly added, "I think being a playboy is one of them."

After hearing what Nini said, Liu Shishi looked at Gu Wei in the distance and became even more curious.

At this moment, Gu Wei had no idea that two beauties were talking about him.

After chatting with Sister Kara Hui for a few words, I glanced at a few familiar faces in the corner of the back row and walked over with a smile.

"You guys stay here and keep quiet."

"Brother Wei~"

Lu Han, Wei Daxun and Liu Haoran sat in a row, and Wu Lei sat opposite the three of them, chewing a piece of bread in his hand.

Seeing Gu Wei coming over, several people stood up and greeted him.

"Sit down~

Wu Lei, haven't you eaten yet? Why are you eating here? "

Gu Wei sat next to Wu Lei and watched him chew bread in a very unpresentable manner.

"I really haven't eaten. I didn't even have lunch. I came here directly after getting off the plane." As he said that, he took out another small bread from somewhere.

"Brother Wei, come over, will you?"

Gu Wei smiled helplessly and said, "I'm not hungry. You can keep it for yourself or give it to the three of them."

"He has given it to us." Lu Han said.

“Yes, but we didn’t want it.

Being hungry is secondary. Wu Lei is still young and doesn't understand that handsome guys like us must pay attention to our image when we are out there!" Wei Daxun said jokingly, brushing his bangs.

"Actually, you don't need to pay too much attention to it. Everyone has seen you wearing women's clothing," Liu Haoran silently added.

At this time, Wei Daxun was still a variety show star, and all his famous scenes were in variety shows.

"What's wrong with wearing women's clothing? Wearing women's clothing shows that I have a wide range of acting skills, I can be sweet or savory.

Maybe a director will ask me to act in a movie just because of this."

"This is the first time I've heard of "sweet or salty" being used in this way. Wu Lei is still eating, don't disgust him."

Gu Wei watched the two bickering with a smile, but said nothing.

At this time, a reporter in the backstage saw him sitting there and hurried over, followed by a photographer.

"Hello, Gu Wei, can I ask you a few questions?" The reporter was a woman who looked young and was a little excited to see Gu Wei.

Gu Wei glanced at the work badge hanging on her chest and saw that she was the Sixth Princess's person.

He smiled and said, "Okay, ask."

At this time, the other people also quieted down.

"Are you looking forward to today's Golden Rooster Awards?"

"I'm really looking forward to it~"

Gu Wei complained in his heart, I am here to present the award, not to receive it, what expectations do I have if I am not even nominated.

"So what's your prediction for today's awards?"

"Not yet. Every film nominated is excellent, and every actor is exceptional. It would be the best outcome for anyone to win."

"Then can you tell us how you feel about attending today's Golden Rooster Awards?"

"It feels good. Xiaolu is here too. Let him say a few words."

Gu Wei was a little impatient, feeling that it was all nonsense, and cleverly passed the buck.

The reporter also obediently turned the microphone to Lu Han.

"Hello, Lu Han. Everyone's looks are very handsome today. Do you have any special designs?"

Lu Han, who was originally watching the show, was startled by the sudden appearance of the microphone and quickly sat up straight.

"Well, because I'm here to attend the Golden Rooster Awards, I'm dressed a little more formally. That's why."

“What are your expectations for tonight’s ceremony?”

"It's mainly about having a learning attitude." Lu Han glanced around, having learned Gu Wei's way of shifting the blame without any instruction.

"Daxun said a few words"

"I also have a learning attitude and am very much looking forward to it." Wei Daxun answered with a smile, then turned around and dragged Liu Haoran into the water.

“People ask you what you expect from the ceremony?”

"No, they didn't even ask me!"

The Sixth Princess was quite obedient. After Wei Daxun finished speaking, she extended the microphone a little further and asked Liu Haoran.

"Hello, Liu Haoran, I'd like to ask, as a young actor, how do you feel about attending the Golden Rooster Awards ceremony?"

"It's a great honor. The main thing is to learn. They are all actors of the younger generation. You should also ask them." Liu Haoran followed suit and immediately took the ball back.

At this time, Wei Daxun found the most suitable person to receive the ball.

"Let Wu Lei speak. He's the youngest here."

"Yes, let Wu Lei speak..." several people said in unison.

The camera turned and Wu Lei still had the bread in his mouth. He was having a lot of fun watching the interviews with the brothers, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to catch the ball in the end.

“I’m in such a difficult situation.”

Not long after, the award ceremony was about to begin. After Gu Wei entered the venue, he separated from a few friends and sat in the seat of the "The Wandering Earth" crew.

This year's Golden Rooster Awards ceremony was particularly grand, and the organizers specially invited Huang Bo and Deng Chao to be the hosts.

Both of them have a humorous and funny style, especially Deng Chao. Even at occasions like the Golden Rooster Awards, he would always say some funny words.

Overall, the effect was good and the ceremony was not as serious as previous ones.

The first awards presented at the opening ceremony were for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, which were given to Wang Zhifei for [Gutian Bugle Call] and Wu Yufang for [Send Me to the Clouds] respectively.

There were some performances interspersed in the middle, followed by the two awards of Best Photography and Best Art. "The Wandering Earth" and "Dying to Survive" were nominated for one each, but unfortunately they were both awarded to "Legend of the Cat Demon".

Brother Chen Kai is a member of the jury for this year's Golden Rooster Awards, but there is nothing wrong with giving these two awards to "Legend of the Cat Demon".

Regardless of the story, just talking about the shots and colors, "Legend of the Cat Demon" is definitely one of the top domestic films.

Including the terrible movie "The Promise" that year, the audience always said that the movie story was bad, but the scenery and characters in it were actually very beautiful.
