Chapter 267: Judges
Zhang Yimou fulfilled his promise, and with his strong recommendation, Gu Wenwu eventually became one of the judges of the 2007 Xia Long Award. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Gu Wenwu received the news, he was discussing the schedule and publicity of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with the company's senior management. The movie has already been made, so it is natural to think about the release. This sudden news somewhat disrupted Gu Wenwu's plan.
According to the selection rules of the Xia Long Award, during the selection period, the judges cannot have too much communication with the outside world, which means that once Gu Wenwu becomes a judge, he must let go of what he is doing.
But he was unwilling to give up this opportunity to be a judge. So in desperation, he had to postpone the schedule that had been set, and finally set it to be released on July 1.
In early June, Gu Wenwu flew to HN Shanya to meet with the judges of this year's Charon Award and start the selection of the Charon Award.
There are a total of thirteen judges for this year's Xia Long Award, except for the six fixed honorary directors of the Star Review Association, the other seven are Cai Mingliang, Gu Changwei, Wu Yusheng, Gu Wenwu, Cheng Daoming, Zhou Yanfa and Lin Qingxia, all of whom are domestic first-line directors and actors, and Gu Wenwu is the youngest in this group of people.
As is customary, before the official selection, there is a meeting banquet of the judges, so the judges get together, have a meal, and get acquainted with each other. But there was such a thing last year, and the atmosphere at this meeting banquet was destined not to be good. Especially Wang Jiawei, with this big sunglasses, looks like he doesn't smile, as if someone owes him 100 million.
Many of the people present, Gu Wenwu saw it for the first time. His age and qualifications are there, and he takes the initiative to say hello, otherwise he will be a little arrogant. And among so many people, the first person Gu Wenwu chose was Wang Jiawei.
"Director Wang, hello, I'm Gu Wenwu, it's the first time we meet, please take care of me." Gu Wenwu walked up to Wang Jiawei and stretched out his hand.
"Director Gu, I've really admired your name for a long time." Wang Jiawei shook hands with Gu Wenwu with a smile. This smile is naturally not a kind smile.
"In front of Director Wang, how dare you be worthy of a big name, you are really joking." The corners of Gu Wenwu's mouth outlined a trace of arc, and he said politely.
"Big brother, meet again." Cheng Long's expression was serious, and when he saw Gu Wenwu greeting him, he nodded in response. Gu Wenwu didn't care either, and turned to the next judge.
"Sister Qingxia, you are my idol, I am so happy to finally meet a real person today." Fortunately, Gu Wenwu didn't say that he grew up watching Lin Qingxia's plays, otherwise there would be no guarantee that Lin Qingxia would be able to laugh so happily.
It is said that time is a knife to kill pigs, and no matter how beautiful the beauty is, it will become dull under the erosion of the years. The same goes for Lin Qingxia. But she is lucky, because her best years are remembered by people through movies, even if it is a long time, she is the goddess of the year.
was called a sister by Gu Wenwu, a young man in his twenties, Lin Qingxia was in a good mood, and her attitude towards him was not so polite.
"Director Gu, I finally met my family, you don't know, many people were doubting whether I was your relative before, I said that it would be nice if I could have such a tall relative."
Because of his niece Ma Shichun's previous incident, Gu Changwei consciously accepted Gu Wenwu's favor, so he had an excellent attitude when he came to greet him. Even Gu Wenwu was a little surprised by his enthusiasm.
"Director Cai, I have admired the name for a long time, but your works have always been used as classroom models when I was in college."
……
After a round of greetings, Gu Wenwu's mouth was a little dry. But the results were also encouraging. Except for some people who themselves have prejudices against him, everyone else has responded well. Is it the kind of response that hinders etiquette, Gu Wenwu can still see it. Of course, the reason why he is so active is not to shoot these people's sycophants, Gu Wenwu doesn't need to pat anyone's sycophants at all. He just took this opportunity to expand his network, and everyone was in a circle, maybe one day they would work together.
"Tomorrow there will be a reporter from the movie channel to interview, every judge will be interviewed, please cooperate, the time will not be too long, and the content will only be limited to the Xia Long Award." At the end of the meeting, Zhang Yimou suddenly told everyone such a news.
It's just an interview, and everyone here is not seasoned, and an interview is just a trivial matter. So after Zhang Yimou finished speaking, everyone didn't pay too much attention to it.
Early the next morning, the reporter came as promised. Gu Wenwu, who was reading a book in the morning, heard a knock on the door, got up and opened the door, and outside the door was a young female reporter with a microphone and a stout man with a camera.
"Hello Director Gu, I'm Yueru, a reporter from the movie channel, can I come in?" Female reporter Yueru asked.
"Please come in." Gu Wenwu stepped aside and invited them in.
After debugging the instrument and questioning Gu Wenwu, this interview officially began.
"Director Gu, this should be your first time as a judge, the first time you have been a judge, it is to appear at the Xia Long Award, do you have any pressure on this?"
"Naturally, there is some pressure, after all, I have no experience in this area, but I am not worried, because the selection of the Charon Award does not require any experience, nor does you need to weigh any pros and cons, it only needs your professionalism, and I believe that with my professionalism, I am fully qualified for this responsibility."
"Director Gu, this time your work "The Great Detective: Behind the Scenes" has also been shortlisted for many awards, do you have more consideration for the selection of your works?"
"That's natural, I've always been strict with my own works, so this ......"
Due to the limited scope of interviews and the fact that these interviews must be broadcast on TV stations, it is naturally impossible for the movie channel, as an official platform, to take the initiative to stir up trouble. Therefore, the questions asked belong to the regular kind. For this kind of question, Gu Wenwu was naturally willing to answer. It's going well on his side, but that doesn't mean it's going well elsewhere.
The interview before the selection of this time, the movie channel attaches great importance to it, and considering the feelings of these celebrities, it also sent thirteen reporters at one time, so that every judge does not have to wait.
Wang Jiawei's room. Lin Feiwen, the reporter in charge of interviewing him, was embarrassed: "Director Wang, what did you just say?" ”
"It's not angry words, it's what I really think in my heart, as for whether you want to cut it or not, it's your business." Wang Jiawei said indifferently.
"But?" Lin Feiwen didn't know what to say for a while.
The sky can be learned, he just asked Wang Jiawei what he thought of the other judges, but he didn't expect him to suddenly lash out at Gu Wenwu, his question didn't mean that.
