The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 33 "Genius Gunner"

In the midst of all the turmoil, a year passed like this.

Amid the noise and bustle, the year has just come.

1991 years.

The nominations for the 50th Tianma Golden Statue Awards have been announced, and "Peking Holiday" is on the list.

The full name of the Pegasus Award is the Huaguo Film Arts and Sciences Association Award. The trophy is a golden Pegasus that is about to fly, which means to encourage filmmakers to create literary works without restraint.

Its status in China Entertainment is like the Oscars in Hollywood.

As the most dazzling dark horse in the past year, "Peking Holiday", at least in terms of nominations, can be described as a great harvest——

The film itself, nominated for Best Picture;
Wang Wei, Best Director nominee;
Shen Zhenyi, Best Actress nomination;

Zhou Lin, nominated for Best Cinematography;
There are also seven nominations for best costume design, best music, and best editing. It can be said to be one of the most nominated films in this Tianma Awards.

As soon as the nomination was announced, public opinion became even more uproarious.

Nomination does not mean winning, but at least it shows that the film and the main creator have been recognized by the Film Association.

This caused the polarization of public opinion at the time when Wang Wei's "Gunmen Gate" incident was raging.

One side believes that this is enough to prove that the so-called "Gunmen Gate" is nonsense.

But the other party is even more convinced that "Gunmengate" is real.

Think about it, how many famous directors can't get so many nominations at once, but Wang Wei is 20 years old, oh, he should be 21 years old, anyway, he is still a boy, can he be better than a big director?

If there is a senior director behind the filming, everything will make sense.

As for being nominated, everyone knows that there is such a thing as "public relations" in reality.

Such controversy is of course not a good thing for Wang Wei's reputation, but it is not a bad thing for the film "Peking Holiday".

It's very simple, the DVD of "Peking Holiday" is coming out!

DVD, which emerged in the mid-to-late 80s, has become an important money-making tool for the film industry.

Moreover, the proportion of its profits is still increasing.

After all, compared with the box office revenue that has to be shared with theaters, the cost of DVDs is almost negligible, and the revenue can be described as pure profit. Who wouldn't be tempted?
And with profits, the morals of the film manufacturers will begin to lose——

Wang Chuanqi was not in a hurry to refute the rumors, and asked Wang Wei to integrate some of his director's scheduling shots, together with the previous interesting clips such as "Shen Zhenyi's Eating Awards" and "A group of burly men playing with twisting cars on the set", into the DVD together. .

Then they played the promotional slogan "The truth of the Gunners is in it", and took advantage of the trend of being nominated for the Tianma Award, and launched it grandly.

Well, those who firmly believe in "Gunmen Gate" will still be convinced after reading it.What can a few scenes show, just act casually.

But this gimmick did boost DVD sales.Anyway, many people bought the DVD of "Peking Holiday" just to find out the truth about "Gunmen".

People in the industry all lamented the shamelessness of Dunhuang - this is really a use of the opportunity to hype from the beginning to the end, even my own family members are not spared!

If Zhuo Qun, who was determined to be the king of paparazzi, could not have been bought by money, they would all suspect that Dunhuang directed and acted this "Gunsmen".

……

Dunhuang Films, Wang Wei's office.

Wang Chuanqi's fellow reporter made an appointment to interview Wang Wei today.

Reporter Lu asked: "What do you think of rumors in the media that "Peking Holiday" was filmed by someone else?"

"They are so right!" Wang Wei replied seriously.

Reporter Lu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't believe his ears.

Then I heard Wang Wei's serious expression, and said in one breath: "Although I don't know what the movies I will make in the future, they have already seen through the future with their bright eyes, and know that the more I make, the worse they will be.

The wise ones naturally thought of an explanation - "Peking Holiday" was not filmed by me.

Although I appeared on the set every day during the filming, I must be just an actor.

Because they have been aware of the details, they have already discovered that the assistant director Xu Daoxing is a seasoned veteran.

Although none of them knew what movies Assistant Director Xu had made, what did it matter?

In front of the mountain of irrefutable evidence, my job as a director is to shout for the start, and then hand over all the work to Deputy Director Xu.

The truth finally surfaced.

All my scheduling on the set was arranged by Deputy Director Xu long ago.

The content of my lectures to the actors on the set was also written by Deputy Director Xu in advance, so that I could memorize them by heart, and then performed them on the spot for every staff member.

Therefore, I am acting both in and out of the play, and I can be called the most dedicated actor in "Peking Holiday".

Therefore, I should have won the Tianma Award for Best Actor, but I was not even nominated.

As for the hundreds of people on the set, none of them stood up to tell the truth, and they have already seen through everything with their piercing eyes—I am the owner of a small film company, so I must have paid to silence everyone.

As for someone paying more money, there is no way for any staff member to stand up and tell the secret. They finally woke up with a clear understanding——

I am the owner of a small film company, and I have the ability to block anyone who dares to go against my will.

They gasped and decided to stand up and expose me for who I was.

I, Wang Wei, am so terrifying! "

"..."

Reporter Lu was dumbfounded.

Assistant Ding who was watching was twitching with his usually expressionless face.

Lao Wang, who was listening, almost turned his head with a smile.

After a long time, Reporter Lu came to his senses: "You are really..."

"Advanced black." Wang Wei said.

Advanced black?It sounds a bit fresh, but it's too fancy.

Reporter Lu looked down at the interview outline and felt that there was no need to continue the interview.

What should be answered, what should not be answered, this guy answered all in one breath.

He could already imagine how many faces of the media would be hurt and swollen after these words were released truthfully!

……

After the old classmates left, Lao Wang, who was laughing so hard that his stomach ached, began to worry: "It's fun for you, but it will offend a lot of media!"

Just as Wang Wei was about to answer, a line of words suddenly appeared in his mind:

[Temporary task: the battle of name rectification.

Task content: As a director, shoot a feature film and fight back against the media's gunmen's proxy filming remarks.

Task reward: clip aura (primary). 】

Is there a new mission coming?
But this mission suits him well.

Just, hit back?How to count as a fight back?
Wang Wei's mind turned rapidly.

First of all, the grades must be good, otherwise let alone fight back, it is completely proactive to hand over the talk;

Secondly, since you want to fight back, of course you have to provoke them in the face so that they can't avoid them;

Then, the selected theme should be targeted.

A work flashed through Wang Wei's mind.

Gathering his mind, Wang Wei coughed lightly under Lao Wang's suspicious gaze: "I not only offended a lot of media with words, but I'm afraid I will continue to offend them with actions."

"What do you mean?"

"I've figured out what to do for the second movie."

Old Wang cheered up, and offered a suggestion: "Do you want to choose between "My Sassy Girl" and "Charlotte's Annoyance"? I suggest you choose "Sassy Girl", which is a genre of love + light comedy. You've proven you can handle it pretty well."

"No." Wang Wei shook his head, "I want to shoot a new script."

"The name is tentatively set to be "Genius Gunner", and it is a story about cheating."

Pharaoh was dumbfounded.

From the title of the movie to the story, can your slap in the face be more obvious?

"You are definitely going to do something!" Old Wang said with melancholy and inexplicable expectation.

Wang Wei smiled: "Since someone wants to make trouble, let's do it together!"
