Chapter 176: How is Yang Mi
On September 27th, the 23rd Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was grandly opened in Lan City, Gan Province.
The most interesting thing about the film festival is naturally the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony held at the Grand Theater of Gan Province on the evening of the 29th.
As the two most professional and representative awards in Chinese mainland, the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award are presented at the annual film festival award ceremony.
The Golden Rooster Award of the professional review system will be awarded in odd-numbered years, and the Hundred Flowers Award of the audience voting system will be awarded in even-numbered years.
This year is 2014, and the award ceremony will award the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films.
The Hundred Flowers Award is known as the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films because its winners are voted on by the audience.
First of all, among the 100 films with a box office of 5 million and 30 million TV broadcasts, 100 backbone theater managers under the China Film Distribution and Projection Association voted for 10 candidate films.
The final judging committee, composed of 101 audience judges, then voted on the spot by voting machine to select the winners of each best award.
Unlike other film awards, which mainly focus on the artistry of the film, the Hundred Flowers Award mainly looks at the popularity of the audience.
At the opening ceremony on the 27th, Gu Wei and Lu Yang got out of the car and walked the red carpet together, each wearing a black suit, and walked on the long red carpet after getting off the car.
One of the highlights of this year's film festival is the free distribution of tickets for the opening ceremony, celebrity red carpet show, and award ceremony.
So there are a lot of viewers who come today, and there are real crowds of people outside the fences on both sides of the red carpet, and the number of people who come to see the stars is unimaginable.
As soon as Gu Wei and the two walked on the red carpet, there were tsunami shouts around them.
"Gu Wei ~ Gu Wei ~ Look here!!"
"Ahh It's Gu Wei, he's so handsome!! ”
“.”
The two walked forward together, occasionally waving to the media and fans next to them.
Soon it was time for the stage in front of the signing pad.
"You're so popular now, you have so many fans!"
Along the way, Lu Yang was also shocked by the enthusiasm of Gu Wei's fans, and when he walked to the place, he couldn't help but say to Gu Wei.
"It's okay, there are too many young people here today, and you know that most of my fans are not very old."
Gu Wei was used to this situation everywhere he went, and he didn't care at all.
Originally, Gu Wei didn't want to come to this film festival, to be honest, although the Hundred Flowers Award is called the "double award" of the Chinese film industry along with the Golden Rooster.
However, in the eyes of the industry, the weight of Baihua is far less than that of the golden rooster.
A total of 34 people were nominated for all the awards of this year's Hundred Flowers Award, but in the end, only 12 people were present, and the remaining 22 people were all absent.
After receiving the notice, Gu Wei originally felt that he had little chance of winning the award, but he was hinted by the organizer that he would gain something.
And Lu Yang also received the same notice as him, and the two of them simply came over together after touching each other.
On the first day of the opening ceremony, the most important celebrity red carpet show ended, and Gu Wei and Lu Yang both went back to the hotel to rest.
"Zhongying has urged me several times to prepare the second part of [Embroidered Spring Knife]."
In the hotel, Gu Wei and Lu Yang chatted about things while eating.
"Senior brother, what are you going to do?"
Gu Wei is not in a hurry at all about the sequel to [Embroidered Spring Knife] now, because with his current popularity and resources, [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] is a bit chicken for him.
Due to the limitations of the subject matter, the sequel to this movie will not be as popular at the box office as [Tang Detective].
Even with his current popularity, Gu Wei estimates that it is 200 or 300 million more on the basis of the original version.
And in terms of investment, Lu Yang now has his own film and television company, and he will inevitably account for a share in film investment, which is also acquiesced by Gu Wei and China Film.
The corresponding Gu Wei's shareholding will shrink, and at the same time, the shooting cost of the film will also increase, and the income in the later stage will naturally not be too high.
Of course, having said so much, [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] will also recover its costs 100%, it is a matter of earning more and earning less, so Zhongying will keep urging Lu Yang.
Gu Wei mainly made more than 200 million profits from a movie of [Tang Detective], which raised his appetite.
In fact, [Embroidered Spring Knife 2] This kind of movie that will not lose money is a good resource that is scrambling for all film and television companies in the market.
"In more than a year, I also completely finished writing the script, and after taking such a long break, it's time to start the second part."
As he spoke, Lu Yang took out a white covered notebook from his bag and handed it to Gu Wei.
Gu Wei, who was eating, put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and took it.
On the cover of the script is written a few big words [Embroidered Spring Knife II.: Shura Battlefield].
Gu Wei flipped it up casually, he just took a general look, and the male protagonist, female protagonist and other main characters were no different from the original.
"When are you going to start shooting?"
"At the beginning of next year, of course, it depends on your schedule, you are so popular now, I'm afraid you don't have time, and my senior brother will have to say hello to you a few months in advance."
Gu Wei thought for a moment.
"It's February next year, there are no arrangements for the time being."
"Okay, then it's tentatively set for February, and the preparation time for these months is enough."
Lu Yang is very happy, he knows that if he wants this sequel to be a box office hit, he has to rely on the little junior brother in front of him.
Walking the red carpet today, he saw how many fanatical fans Gu Wei had, and now just guiding fans into the theater to watch the movie can make the box office rise a bit.
Gu Wei then flipped through the script and asked casually.
"This new heroine 'Hokusai', who is the senior brother going to look for?
Liu Yifei from the previous part is obviously unusable. ”
"I haven't considered this yet, what is your opinion?"
Except for Gu Wei, the absolute protagonist, Lu Yang has not yet begun to think about the other roles.
"How about Yang Mi, this year's [Ancient Sword and Strange Tan] that we cooperated with is being released, and when the movie is released, it will be just time to stir up another wave of news about the second cooperation."
Gu Wei's proposal, Lu Yang was obviously tempted.
"Yang Mi is very popular, but her acting skills"
"Although 'Hokusai' is the heroine, there are not many scenes, the main character of our movie is still Jin Yiwei, Yang Mi has also debuted for so many years, there should be no problem in playing this role well."
Gu Wei had already promised Yang Mi that of course he would speak for her.
"What you said makes sense, go back and let Yang Mi come over and try the play, as long as it's not too bad, then she will be killed."
Gu Wei has already said this, Lu Yang always wants to give him this face, and he is also very greedy for Yang Mi's current popularity.
As Gu Wei said, the two of them made a movie together, and their popularity exploded before it was released.
On the 28th, the Hundred Flowers Award held a commendation ceremony for nominees.
That is to say, everyone who has been nominated for an award, everyone nominates for a trophy one by one, and comes to the film festival, no matter whether they get the award in the end or not, everyone should not go back empty-handed.
Gu Wei and Lu Yang followed the other nominees present on stage to accept the award, and among the nominees, Gu Wei also saw Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao.
I said hello casually and didn't talk much, after all, I was still on the podium.
