Chapter 684: Domineering
After the Best Actor award, there are three major awards left: Best Director, Outstanding Feature Film, and Best Feature Film.
Among them, the Outstanding Feature Film was awarded to "The Founding of an Army". Speaking of the main theme, this film is the most authentic one and it is sure to win no award.
Wu Jing missed the Best Actor award but unexpectedly won the Best Director award.
When the result came out, even he himself was very surprised. After all, as a director, he still had a lot of shortcomings and there was a certain gap between him and those professional directors.
However, the audience judges voted in this way, and he won the Best Director Award at the 34th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards with high popularity and high votes.
In fact, it is not surprising that he won the award. After all, Wu Jing is the image ambassador of this film festival and was nominated for four major awards. How could the organizers let him go home empty-handed?
The final Best Feature Film Award was presented to "Operation Red Sea", and Lin Chaoxian went on stage to receive the award.
After he returned to his seat, Wu Jing, Gu Wei and Lin Chaoxian were sitting in the three middle seats in the first row. Each of them held a trophy and a certificate. This scene was also captured by the photographers on the scene and became a classic picture of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards.
"Mr. Gu, Director Wu, you don't have anything to do tonight, right? I'll treat you to a few drinks."
The award ceremony was over and everyone was preparing to leave. Yu Dong smiled and extended an invitation to Gu Wei and Wu Jing.
At this year's Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony, Bona can be said to be the biggest winner. The two films "Operation Red Sea" and "Operation Mekong" won five major awards including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, and Best Newcomer, which can be said to be a great harvest.
The ceremony is over, so of course there is some celebration.
Gu Wei and Wu Jing looked at each other, Wu Jing nodded, and Gu Wei then said:
"It is better to obey than to be respectful~"
There were quite a few people at the dinner party in the evening, including Gu Wei, Wu Jing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Yi, Zhang Tianai and others.
Most of the people here are celebrities who are related to Bona.
Among them, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Hanyu and Gu Wei are all celebrity shareholders of Bona, but their shareholding ratio is smaller.
Because of the award, Gu Wei inevitably drank a few more glasses. After the dinner, he refused Yu Dong's arrangement for the next one and took Zhang Tianai back to the hotel.
"I haven't been on set for a while, and I feel like I've gained some weight." After an intense workout, Gu Wei held the soft and smooth flesh with one hand, and slowly stroked the soft curve with the other.
"Really? I haven't been dieting recently and have gained some weight back.
I’m going to join the group again in a few days, so I have to control myself.”
Zhang Tianai's breathing was still a little rapid. He lay motionless on Gu Wei, slowly recovering his strength.
Ever since I started dating Gu Wei five or six years ago, I was no match for him in this kind of thing and I always failed miserably.
However, this kind of failure will not teach you a lesson. Once you start, you will keep asking for more than you can handle. You will fail over and over again, but you will keep fighting. This is a commendable spirit.
"I think your current body shape is just right, the right amount of fat and thin. If you're too thin, it won't feel good."
Gu Wei raised his eyebrows and gradually increased the strength in his grip.
Zhang Tianai definitely has a rare good figure among female stars, and she is not the kind of skinny that is fixed. She has a very curvy figure.
"Hate~
I still have to film, and if I’m a little fatter it’ll be very obvious on the big screen and I won’t be pretty.”
“No, look at the role you are playing now, a battlefield doctor, a reporter, a member of a sea rescue team, being too thin is not suitable.
If you really want to lose weight, it’s best to do exercise, which can also make you look better.”
Zhang Tianai supported Gu Wei's chest with both hands and slowly sat up on him, revealing the beautiful scenery in front of him.
After finally regaining some strength, she said to Gu Wei provocatively:
"Then you help me?"
Gu Wei crossed his hands behind his head and admired the alluring scene.
“At your service.”
#Gu Wei wins the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor for the first time! #
#【Operation Red Sea】won four awards and became the biggest winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Awards! #
#Wu Jing won his first Best Director Award! #
#Teacher Chen Jin achieved the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao Grand Slam! #
The Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony has ended, and various news about the awards have flooded the Internet.
The most eye-catching event was naturally Gu Wei winning his first Best Actor award in his life.
His fans were jubilant and excited that their idol received such a great honor, and passers-by and netizens generally recognized the Hundred Flowers Awards.
Everyone is clear about the nature of the Hundred Flowers Awards. Although it is one of the highest awards at domestic film festivals, it is, after all, an "audience award."
In the case of audience selection, it is normal for Gu Wei to win the Best Actor award given his fame and popularity.
And to be honest, the nominated works for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards are all mainstream movies such as "The Founding of an Army", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", and "Operation Mekong", so it seems normal for any of them to win the award.
Congratulations to Gu Wei for winning the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor for the first time. May your career continue to flourish and reach new heights!
[The Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor is my brother's first major award, but it won't be his last. We will grow with him and witness the birth of a great actor!]
The two heroes of "Wolf Warrior" won Best Actor and Best Director respectively. I heard that Gu Wei and Wu Jing's second collaboration will be released during the Spring Festival. I can't wait!
"Operation Mekong," "Wolf Warrior 2," and "Operation Red Sea" are all my favorites. This year's Hundred Flowers Awards are truly remarkable!
It's fair to say that this year's Hundred Flowers Awards were dominated by mainstream films, and the ones chosen were all box office hits. This isn't surprising, though; it's the audience's choice after all, and arthouse films are so niche, so they'll definitely choose those with high box office and popularity!
Why isn't there "Dying to Survive"? I feel like this movie is the one that's both a critical and box office success.
[Because "Dying to Survive" was released too late, he probably didn't submit his name for this year's Hundred Flowers Awards. He will definitely be in next year's Golden Rooster Awards. My bet is he'll be the biggest winner!]
【.】
Amid the discussions and comments from netizens, Gu Wei said goodbye to Zhang Tianai the next day and returned to Hengdian to continue filming "The East Palace".
"Boss Gu, congratulations on winning the Hundred Flowers Award!"
"Congratulations, congratulations, you won the Best Actor!"
"Boss Gu is awesome! He went out and came back with a Best Actor award!"
After returning to the crew, crew members including director Li Muge came forward to congratulate Gu Wei.
“Thank you, everyone, it was just luck.
I'll treat you all to a nice meal after the show tonight and we can relax and have a good time."
Gu Wei happily accepted everyone's congratulations and arranged a dinner in the evening.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu~"
"Long live President Gu!"
"Mr. Gu is so handsome!"
“.”
Hearing his words, everyone cheered happily.
"Okay, okay. Mr. Gu will arrange dinner tonight. Everyone should work hard during the day and try to complete the filming task as soon as possible today." Li Muge said with a smile as he looked at the cheering staff.
"Senior brother, you are awesome. You went out for a while and came back with the Best Actor award!" Everyone dispersed to do what they had to do. Meng Ziyi came to Gu Wei, hugged his arm and congratulated him.
"It's just the Hundred Flowers Award, no big deal." Gu Wei spoke modestly, but the smile on his face betrayed him. He was extremely happy to win the award.
Currently, the mainstream awards in the domestic film industry are the Golden Rooster, Hundred Flowers, and Huabiao.
The Golden Rooster is called the "expert award", the Hundred Flowers is the "audience award", and the Huabiao is the "government award".
The Golden Rooster values artistry and professionalism, the Hundred Flowers reflects popularity, and the Huabiao represents official recognition.
These three awards are basically the highest honors for domestic film actors.
As for the Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, they have become increasingly niche in recent years, and it seems like they are playing behind closed doors. It is difficult for mainland films to gain recognition.
"This is Best Actor. Brother, you've won the Golden Eagle Award and the Magnolia Award, but this is your first time winning Best Actor. It means something different.
I feel like sooner or later you'll be able to win all the Best Actor and Best Actress awards in the country and achieve a Grand Slam!"
"Hahaha~ Thanks for your good wishes. I also want to know when I can achieve the Grand Slam." Meng Ziyi's words touched Gu Wei's heart. As his fame grew and the box office of his movies became higher and higher, he now began to pursue some awards, which was considered a new goal for himself.
The filming of "The East Palace" has started to be painful again. When we first arrived in Hengdian, there were some sweet scenes between the male and female protagonists. After all, both of them had lost their memories and started a second love.
However, after amnesia, memory will be regained. The sweetness will not last long. Two people who remember the past will never be able to be together.
In particular, the male protagonist Li Chengyin, played by Gu Wei, is a scheming man. He really likes the female protagonist, but he also spares no effort in pursuing power.
The filming has been going on for two months, and Meng Ziyi has become more and more adept at playing the role of Qu Xiaofeng.
It seems that she is very good at playing some beautiful, strong and tragic roles, and the previously popular "Yuan Chun" is one of them.
However, Qu Xiaofeng has both beauty and misery. After all, she has not turned evil and is not strong enough.
On November 17, the 55th Taiwan Golden Horse Film Awards was held in Taipei.
The organizer had originally invited Gu Wei, but he was not nominated, so he did not go.
However, he is still quite concerned about this year's Golden Horse Awards, because "Dying to Survive" has been nominated for several important awards. Gu Wei's mood is the same as Yu Dong's, and he hopes that his company's films can achieve more success.
The next morning, Gu Wei looked at the news online. The expression on his face was happy at first and then slowly became serious.
I am happy because my company's movie "Dying to Survive" won great success at this year's Golden Horse Awards.
Senior Sister Han Jianuo won the Best Original Screenplay Award, and Wen Mu also won the Best New Director Award.
Xiao Yang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor with his wonderful performance in "Dying to Survive", defeating Deng Chao in "Shadow", Duan Yihong in "The Blizzard Is Coming", Peng Yuchang in "An Elephant Sitting on the Ground", and Qiu Ze in "Who Fell in Love with Him First".
It is worth mentioning that Gu Wei’s younger sister Zhang Zifeng was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in "The Flower of Love", but unfortunately she did not win the award.
"Dying to Survive" won 3 out of 7 nominations, and like Zhang Yimou's "Shadow", it became one of the winners of this year's Golden Horse Awards.
These are things that make Gu Wei happy, but another incident that happened at this year's Golden Horse Awards made him angry.
At the ceremony that night, an award winner made some remarks about Taiwan, and all the mainland film and television workers present were upset.
The chairman of this year's Golden Horse Awards, the famous director Li An, also realized something and looked embarrassed and did not applaud.
After this scene, the atmosphere at the Golden Horse Awards became increasingly cold.
It was originally planned that Li An and Gong Li would present the Best Picture Award together. However, after Director Li An came on stage alone, Gong Li sat in the audience and refused to go on stage to present the award.
Gong Li had been fooled by the Golden Horse Awards once before, and later she made harsh remarks publicly criticizing the Golden Horse Awards.
She was able to come this time because of the strong invitation of her old friend Li An. Li An is the executive chairman of this year's Golden Horse Awards. He invited Gong Li to be the chairman of the jury. Gong Li came to give her face, but this happened.
You have to know that Gong Li is the chairman of the jury and she was the one who presented the award. However, the winner made such remarks, which is putting a huge blame on Gong Li.
Gong Li did not leave the table immediately, but she gave Li face by not going on stage with a sullen face.
After the Golden Horse Awards ceremony ended that night, people from the domestic film and television industry left the venue one after another under the leadership of director Zhang Yimou, and no one attended the subsequent Golden Horse Awards celebration party.
Gu Wei thought about it and called Yang Liwen.
"Let all artists under the company post a statement on Weibo, just copy the words of the Communist Youth League's official Weibo account: 'Not a single bit can be left behind.'"
Then, the company released a statement on its official Weibo account, announcing that starting today, all film and television productions produced by Weiming Tianxia will refuse to participate in the Golden Horse Awards.
After hearing Gu Wei's instructions, Yang Liwen on the other end of the phone paused.
“Boss, it’s only right to express your stance, and all the celebrities in the industry are currently doing this.
But isn’t this statement from the company a bit serious?
The Golden Horse Awards just gave our film "Dying to Survive" an award, and giving it out like this completely offended the Golden Horse Awards."
"Haha. There's no room for wavering on major issues. If the Golden Horse Awards continue like this, it's only a matter of time before they become just a show for some people's entertainment.
Besides, Gong Li isn't afraid of offending the Golden Horse Awards, so why should I be afraid?" Gu Wei's tone was firm and unquestionable.
"Understood. I'll do it right away."
After the Golden Horse Awards incident came out, Chinese entertainment stars retweeted the official Weibo post that said "not a single bit can be missing."
This Weibo post from the official Weibo account of [Wei Ming Tian Xia] has raised the heat of the matter to another level.
Everyone knows who the boss of "Wei Ming Tian Xia" is. This is just like when Gong Li blasted the Golden Horse Awards in front of the media. Gu Wei has completely broken with the Golden Horse Awards, and his break is even more decisive than Gong Li's.
[Awesome! Gu Wei is really tough. He unilaterally banned the Golden Horse Awards, the highest award for Chinese-language films. He's so domineering!]
Gu Wei did a great job, I support him. He is worthy of being one of the two heroes of "Wolf Warrior". He should show those people that not everything can be said!
[A true man, a real man, I declare that I will go back to watch any of Gu Wei's movies in the future, and support a true patriot with my actions!]
Gu Wei was a bit impulsive. Others were just talking and cheering, but he was the only one who made a bold statement. Once this wave of public opinion passes, those stars who said that not even a single drop of money can be lost will still go to the Golden Horse Awards.
[Support my brother, he is always right, ban the Golden Horse Awards! ]
【.】
Beijing, China Film Group.
"This Gu Wei is really young and energetic!"
Xu Jianhai, head of the China Film Beijing Film Production Branch, sat across from the desk and chatted with La Peikang about recent events.
He is the producer of "The Wandering Earth" and has worked with Gu Wei for a period of time. He is very optimistic about this young man. He said this not to blame Gu Wei, but rather to defend him.
"Haha, Lao Xu, if young people don't have a strong temper, can they still be called young people?
As long as he acts uprightly, it is a good thing for him to be a little more energetic.
If you have any questions, we can help you.
I remember when Chairman Han was in office, he loved supporting young people the most. This time, "The Best Woman" even won the Best Original Screenplay Award. It's a pity that the Golden Horse Awards didn't live up to expectations, which greatly reduced the value of this award."
La Peikang actually likes Gu Wei's temper. As the head of China Film Group, he cannot express his opinion casually. What Gu Wei did was considered as doing something he should not do.
"The leaders are right. The Golden Horse Awards are getting worse and worse. If nothing changes, they'll eventually become just a small, local award."
La Peikang nodded.
"Call Gu Wei later and tell him my stance. Although China Film Group cannot express its stance, I personally support him in doing this. Don't worry about it.
Another thing I will discuss with him about the promotion of "The Wandering Earth" is that the companies that were previously planned have joined as co-producers, and "The Wandering Earth" can be officially launched.
Haha, I am now looking forward to our movie more and more.
I have a feeling that this year's Spring Festival movie "The Wandering Earth" might give me a big surprise! "
"I understand. I'll contact him later~" Xu Jianhai agreed with a smile.
"Gu Wei is getting more and more crazy. Hasn't he offended everyone in Taiwan?"
In Huayi's office, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang were also discussing this matter.
Mr. Wang was quite disdainful. He felt that Gu Wei was just a young and foolish man. People in the circle usually spoke in a tactful and subtle way, but he was not as direct as him. He clearly wanted to separate himself from the Golden Horse Awards.
He not only banned the Golden Horse Awards, but also severely offended a large number of people in the Taiwanese film and television industry.
"If I've offended you, I've offended you. What's there now? The market? Stars?
Some directors are okay, but they are not irreplaceable.
To put it bluntly, with the current size of Weiming Tianxia, there is not much demand from the Taiwanese film and television industry. On the contrary, many people there want to make money in the north, which will intersect with Weiming Tianxia. "
Unlike Mr. Xiao Wang, Mr. Da Wang sees things more clearly. He knows that Gu Wei does this because he has nothing to ask for. He is strong enough and is strong because he has no desires.
"What about us?"
"We don't have to do anything. Although we're not afraid, we don't need to offend anyone. All we need to do is shout slogans."
