After the release of Helan Mountain Swordsman, it caused a small sensation.

Many newspapers in the United States have reported on this movie, and the film reviews have been both positive and negative.

Those who praised it said that it was an ambitious work, of high quality, a work of conscience, and that it was worth watching, and critics said that the film had a high probability of being nominated for best foreign language film at next year's Oscars.

Some people also praised Director Li An's skills for improving again, and some people said that Gu someone's performance in the movie was very good and impressive.

People who don't like this movie say that the theme of the movie is too niche, and there are cultural differences between China and the West, among which they can't understand the key words such as 'Jianghu', 'martial arts', 'morality', 'world events', etc., and some people criticize Gu someone, saying that his acting skills are not good, and persuade him to act in commercial films with peace of mind and not to waste time on literary films.

Regardless of whether the outside world praises or criticizes, Gu Meng doesn't care, as long as he is cool when he plays movies, he doesn't criticize in the accident world, and he doesn't even care about the box office.

However, the box office of 'Knifeman' turned out to be good.

In the first week, it was screened on a small scale in 760 theaters and won 11.8 million box office, which is a very good result for a Chinese literary film to exceed 10 million at the weekly box office in North America.

The movie continues to be released.

Gu Meng returned to Mexico and concentrated on filming 'Outlaw World', and didn't pay much attention to the results of 'Knifeke'.

By the end of July, the crew of "The End of the World" was completed, and the "Knifeman" movie was taken off the shelves, with a total of 65 million in North America and a global box office of $130 million, compared to the investment of $28 million, the film was successful.

After filming the movie, Gu Meng planned to rest for a while.

Since the year before, he has been making movies non-stop, and he is really a little tired.

It's not that I'm physically tired, but I'm mentally tired, and I don't feel it anymore when I perform.

He used to actively devote himself to the acting career, partly because of interest, most of the reason was to make money by making movies, and by the way, he made a name for himself abroad, promoted Chinese culture, and helped the country earn foreign exchange.

Now he is not short of money, he is not short of fame, and suddenly he has no motivation to struggle, and his career line is a little weak.

He returned to Princeton, accompanied Li Zhen'er to school, accompanied the children to grow up, and continued to exercise at the training center.

Time flashed to the golden autumn of October.

There is news from China that the movie "Swordsman" was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Awards, and Gu Meng was nominated for Best Actor and invited him to go back to participate.

Gu Meng went back and won the first actor trophy, how much water there was, he knew in his heart, originally this trophy was Li Baotian's, but Gu Meng's fame was hard backstage, and giving him the actor trophy would enhance his reputation even more.

Just won the Golden Rooster Actor, and there was news from Xiangjiang and Taiwan that 'Knifeke' was nominated for the Academy Awards and Golden Horse Awards.

He and Zhang Guorong were both selected for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, Swordsman was selected for Best Picture, and Li An was selected for Best Director, with a total of six nominations for this film.

In the end, Zhang Guorong won the actor, Yuan Baye won the best action direction, and as for the best film and director, it was won by "New Dragon Gate Inn" and Zhang Yanyu.

At the Golden Horse Awards in December, Li An won the best director again, and the swordsman won the best film, accompanied by Gu Meng, Gong Girl, and Zhang Guorong.

In January, the Golden Globe Awards were announced, and after the public relations of UTA and New Line, "Knifeke" won three nominations, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Director, Best Cinematography, and finally won the Best Foreign Language Film.

"I'm never going to the awards ceremony again, it's so boring!"

In the evening, Gu Meng held the palace girl and yawned, and walked out of the sacred auditorium in Los Angeles.

The slanting sun shone on his face, Gu Meng squinted his eyes, a little tired, just now at the award ceremony, the camera always came to him from time to time, so that he didn't have time to sleep if he wanted to.

He was upset.

didn't even give him a nomination for the Golden Globe Awards, and he was embarrassed to borrow his face to increase the ratings, which was too shameless.

The palace girl pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "In the future, the Oscar will nominate you, and you won't go?"

"Haha, it's impossible, it's hard for me to get into the eyes of that group of academics with such acting skills, and I'm still Chinese, and I don't have a chance, even if I get a nomination, I'm still running away, what are you doing!"

Compared with the three European awards Venice, Berlin, and Cannes, the United States Film Awards are more conservative, and rarely hand over the crown of the actor to foreigners, and Gu Meng doesn't want to be auspicious for them on the spot.

"Didn't you think about winning the Oscar before?"

Aunt Hong once said in the circle of sisters that Gu Meng dreamed of taking the little golden man, and everyone took it as a joke and teased him from time to time.

Gu Meng didn't care, he kissed the back of the palace girl's hand and said with a smile, "You are an acting school, I am an idol school, and I will hand over the task of taking the little golden man to you in the future, what about me, just wait for the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in thirty or forty years!"

"Are you so confident you can win the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement?"

The palace girl looked at him with a smile, and she liked to see his stinky fart.

"Of course!"

Gu Meng said confidently, "The newspaper said that I not only opened the 'genes and the era', but also opened the 'gene film era' and the 'pioneer of gene films', and more and more movies about genes are currently being released, from eight the year before last to twenty-five now, which fully shows the vitality of 'gene movies', and also shows my influence on Hollywood movies, isn't this worthy of an Oscar statuette?"

Miss Gong nodded her chin in agreement, "Not only the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, but all film awards in the world should give you a Lifetime Achievement Award"

"Yes, my impact is world-class"

Gu Meng blocked the noise of the reporters, opened the car door, and returned to Villa Billy with the palace girl.

"Husband, don't make trouble, watch TV!"

Back at the house, Gu Meng wanted to exercise her husband's rights, but the palace girl held his head and suddenly pointed to the TV and exclaimed.

"What's the matter, watching TV is not as important as our intimacy, while we are free during this time, how about we create a villain again?"

Gu Meng hugged her thin waist and said.

"Don't make a fuss, something happened!"

The palace girl twisted his nose towards the TV.

Gu Meng turned around and saw a female reporter reporting on a farm, with horror on her face, as the police carried three stretchers covered in white cloth.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Meng took the remote control and increased the volume.

“... Recently, in Montana, there were three animal attacks in quick succession, resulting in a total of nine casualties, and according to Rick, a survivor farmer, the herding dogs on their farm suddenly went berserk and attacked the staff..."

"Rabies?"

After listening to it for a while, Gu Meng was a little puzzled.

"Definitely not!"

"Of the three reports, only this one was a dog attack, and the other two occurred in the forest, which is said to be a wild wolf and a monkey

"Really?"

Gu Meng guessed that this incident might be another conspiracy of anti-genetic organizations.

From the beginning of '91, the anti-genetic organization always tried to sabotage, using a series of extreme measures, and after the media reaction, the anti-genetic organization almost did not become a terrorist organization.

What about this time?

Experts soon came forward to explain that the first two attacks took place in the forest, killing a total of four people, and the police treated them as only one accident afterwards.

This time a shepherd dog went berserk and bit two people to death and three people before being killed.

Such combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of a mad dog.

A week later, the Montana area police held a press conference to announce the results of the investigation, and after testing the body of the rabid dog, it was said that the dog carried the rabies virus on its body, which had nothing to do with genetic experiments.

But suddenly, the media broke the news that the police were lying, and the three animal attacks were all related to the genetic laboratory.

The conspiracy of the police to collude with the genetic lab was reported in detail in the newspapers, and the Montana area gene lab conducted a PR campaign against the police to make them lie in order to cover up the facts.

Police and the state genetic lab have denied it.

There was a war of words between the media and the police.

At this time, it was confusing and attracted national attention.

Before the two parties could understand, suddenly another pet dog attacked the owner in Montazhou, causing one death and three injuries.

The next day, the head of the Monta state police announced his resignation and admitted through the media that the four animal attacks were all related to genetic research.

This time it was a big deal.

Shepherd dogs and pet dogs have attacked humans, do people still dare to have pets? How to solve the problem of hundreds of millions of pet dogs in the United States?

Citizens protested and demanded a reasonable explanation from the government department.

Gu Meng felt that something had gone wrong, and it was likely to cause a global gene stock crash, so he hurried to the Marshall Laboratory in Princeton to inquire about the inside information.
