Chapter 491
"I know, it wasn't it just set up the previous year?" Gu Ao answered his girlfriend casually.
He knew that Xiangjiang also had a Film Award, but his current influence was just that.
This award was founded in 1982 and this year is the third.
Xiao Sui added: "As a result, the best actor awarded at the Xiangjiang Golden Awards this year was Liang Jiahui. Of course, he did not win the award through TV series, but the role of Emperor Xianfeng was played by "Directions from the Curtain".
Less than three days after the award results came out, the Wanwan responded very fiercely. It turned out that they were just banning actors who came to the mainland to film and works that came to the mainland to film. After Liang Jiahui won the Best Actor in the mainland historical film, they were so angry that they rose directly to the note Shaw Brothers:
As long as Liang Jiahui is not fired, all works by Shaw Pictures and TVB will be banned in the Wanwan market in the future, and will no longer just ban actors and films that have been co-produced in mainland China.
Shaw Brothers did not expect that Wanwan's reaction was so fierce, and it actually escalated to an unprecedented method, so he could only temporarily fire Liang Jiahui's statement."
When Gu Ao heard this, he couldn't help but feel that the courage of the Wanwan people was a bit commendable.
Do you think Mr. Gu’s voice in the circle is not as powerful as international influence?
The strength of the mainland cultural circle and the openness of content are not comparable to another time and space. According to the original history, "The Last Emperor" won nine awards including the Oscar for Best Picture, which was in 1988, and now it has been 4 to 84 years ahead of schedule. (Although his strength has declined, he won two fewer awards, only 7 left)
The opponent still wants to play this kind of either-or-or play, aren't you afraid of being humble?
However, Gu Ao is currently in business and is not convenient to help them immediately. He always has to lie in and endure for half a year. Moreover, he has not set up a production and agency before, and it is difficult to find white gloves temporarily.
After calming down for a while, Gu Ao asked, "Do you know what Liang Jiahui is doing now? And Liu Dehua and the others?"
Xiao Sui obviously did his homework, and answered it like a song: "Liao Jiahui fortunately, he made some money in the previous films. It is said that he is quite content with poverty and is ready to open a specialty tea restaurant to make a living.
Liu Dehua was not banned by Wanwan people because he did not win the award. He was not allowed to go to Wanwan for films that appeared, but he did not say that Shaw was not allowed to use him in any films. However, he has only received a basic salary in the past few months, and he played supporting roles in some crews who were not planning to sell to Wanwan."
Liang Jiahui in history is only worse than this. He has set up street stalls for three years, such as fish egg stalls on tricycles, selling curry fish eggs to make a living. Now he has been upgraded to a tea restaurant to sell fish eggs, which is also more like a street stall to change cannons.
"Then let's take it as a test of his character. If he can endure loneliness and stand ups and downs of life. In half a year, when we open a production and agency ourselves, we can reuse it. Liu Dehua is the same. They are so popular in the mainland now that even if the copyright of TV series and movies in the mainland is still not expensive, we can easily make a profit by allowing them to accept advertising endorsements."
Gu Ao drank the remaining fish porridge in the bowl in one mouthful, and made the decision.
The copyrights of movies and TV series in the mainland in the 1980s were indeed not expensive, and this is not as good as those of Wanwan people, but the huge consumer market of more than 1 billion people is there. Foresighted brand bosses, if they are willing to spend money to hire these cheap celebrity endorsements in Wanwan because they were banned, they will definitely make a profit back, and they will make many times more profitable.
The value of brand promotion does not necessarily need to be realized within one or two years. People who really do big business know that they will build their reputation five or even ten years before the Chinese people have money to consume, and use a long line to catch big fish.
Xiao Sui obviously supported Gu Ao's ideas very much, so she had no doubts. She just thought about it and added a little more: "By the way, the newcomer Li Ruotong you picked up has been a little troublesome recently. Do you want to hear it?"
Gu Ao was stunned: "Li Ruotong? What trouble can she have, a little girl? I found her temporarily, and she is not a contracted artist from Shaw Brothers. She is not considered an insider. Wanwan banned her and it is also a white ban."
Xiao Sui sighed and shook her head: "It's not a problem with banning, it's the doctor who followed up her after-surgery of her congenital mumps surgery, which had a little sequelae."
Gu Ao felt very unbelievable, so he picked up the remote control of the video recorder on the table, and then turned the videotape of "The Legend of Condor Heroes" back to the scene where Xiaolongnu appeared. After careful observation for a while, he asked in confusion:
"Xiaolongnu's performance is completely fine. If there are sequelae on her face, how can she perform this drama well?"
Xiao Sui smiled bitterly: "It's not as simple as you thought. I especially cared about it. The character Xiaolongnu needs not very rich expressions, so she was a little stiff at that time and could play it.
In addition, her main aftermath is that some muscles on the unilateral cheek control nerve endings are gone, so this part of the muscles will slowly shrink after a long period of time. It can be seen that the right cheek is slightly smaller than the left cheek, and you can see that it is a bit asymmetry when you look closely."
Gu Ao: "We must have signed the risk of surgery to inform us? This matter is not up to us."
Xiao Sui gave Gu Ao a blank look, but she was very happy inside. Gu Ao said this, which made him seem to have no interest in the little girl at all, but instead considered the problem with a cold view of money.
"What are you talking about? Are we the ones who are short of money? The other party didn't blame us for compensation. I've inquired. Li Ruotong is now going back to study and is in her second year of high school."
Gu Ao nodded: "That's okay. If you don't waste anything, you know how to advance and retreat, we can help you morally. If you beg for nothing, you can't let them take advantage of anything other than a cent of the contract. In this situation, the doctor said after the follow-up visit, is there any follow-up treatment?"
"I don't know this, why don't I call to ask." Xiao Sui obviously couldn't do her homework so carefully. Even if she usually put her time to help her husband manage business in the entertainment industry, she would not be able to care about this.
"Let's ask if you have time." Gu Ao replied casually.
However, Xiao Sui was very sensible. She felt that even if she had time now, she immediately sent the agent named Liu to the Shao family to help Gu Ao handle the contract (that is, the agent who signed Li Ruotong temporarily)
After a long-distance telephone communication, Xiao Sui replied:
"The response from Yanghe Hospital is that if the appearance of the cheeks on both sides is completely symmetrical in the future, it is best to inject botulinum to the left side with a slightly accurate injection of botulinum toxin needles. Botulinum will irreversibly destroy the nerve endings at the injection location and cause nearby muscles to atrophy. It was originally the latest face-slimming plastic surgery technology for Hong Kong and Nanbang.
However, if you really have a fine-tuning injection, the left and right faces will lose the function of certain expressions in the future. This kind of facial paralysis will definitely not be an actor. Now you can only make a choice between a beauty with fewer expressions and no actors but no flaws in static eyes and an actor with slightly asymmetrical faces but relatively rich expressions.
Gu Ao only thought for a moment for a moment: "It's useless to think about this. Tell the agent to send two options to the Li family and choose it yourself. It depends on whether her family wants her to be an actor for the rest of her life, and how she chooses it. Anyway, she wants to get botulinum toxin injections, and we pay for the medical expenses, which is considered to be the most righteous."
Xiao Sui conveyed Gu Ao's meaning.
As for the Li family, it will definitely take some time to contact us, and Gu Ao has no time to care.
It is said that later Li Ruotong chose to "rather than act," and chose to take supplementary treatment with botulinum toxin injection.
Later, after several fine adjustments, her cheeks on both sides finally became precisely symmetrical. However, her face shape was very different from the Li Ruotong, who was well known to later generations. She had a little more meaning of a snake-like face. She could neither cry nor laugh, but could only make those faint and non-violent expressions.
It is inevitable that she will withdraw from the entertainment industry. Her acting career in this life ended at the age of 16, and ended in her only work in her life, the role of Xiaolongnu in the 82nd version of "The Godly Condor Heroes", and since then, she has washed her face and quit the world.
However, she couldn't say that she had any losses. She was just a high school student. Other people who had no chance might not be able to become famous in their entire lives. Later, she graduated from high school and couldn't get into college in the cultural subjects. Finally, she went to Gu Aoxin to do some civilian work in a production/agent company, which was a way.
Gu Ao and Xiao Sui were on the breakfast table and dealt with the recent encounters between the gangsters and young girls in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
The rest, after Gu Ao goes to the Special Administrative Region in the future, or becomes insensitive, let’s make arrangements in detail.
The couple rested until noon at home. After lunch, some visitors came to visit, mostly from the cultural department - mainly to thank Gu Ao for his contributions in helping "The Last Emperor" win the Oscars.
Gu Ao also dealt with them one by one.
He knew that this would not be saved.
He was mainly dealing with the leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry a while ago, and in the last few days before leaving Beijing, he would probably be surrounded by people from the cultural departments.
After seeing off two people with official positions, at around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, another stranger came.
The bodyguard at the door came in and reported: "Boss, there is a writer who claims to be studying in the Literature Institute. He came to the door just now and brought some small gifts. However, he said that he mainly came to see Director Liu and Researcher Zhu to discuss academic issues. If you are not free, you can ignore him. I hope you can accept the souvenirs."
"Haha, I also have to accept other people's gifts." Gu Ao found it a bit funny, but after thinking about it for a while, he turned around and asked Xiao Sui, "Director Liu, I know, who is the researcher Zhu who is helping me supervise the construction of the garden next door?"
Gu Ao only remembers that Director Liu of the China Academy of Fine Arts designed this courtyard and the "miniature Grand View Garden" next door, but he had no impression of the other person.
Xiao Sui is like a courtier, you have to remember everything: "You have a lot of things to do and don't pay attention to. Researcher Zhu is from the Palace Museum. After the last Oscar, some leaders of the Ministry of Culture wanted to repay your favor. When they heard that you were building a garden, they sent someone to help Director Liu. Researcher Zhu worked as a researcher at the Palace Museum for more than 40 years. Before the War of Resistance Against Japan, he was doing it during the Republic of China. He has extraordinary knowledge of ancient architecture and culture in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so he is not an expert who can easily invite him."
Xiao Sui thought about it again and added: "I am not familiar with that classmate named Liu, but I know that all the graduate students in our literature study are like this. I guess he fell in love with Director Liu and Researcher Zhu here today. I want to come and study the 'Red Studies'."
Gu Ao was happy.
Well, he originally wanted to build a house and build a garden to live on his own, but the end of the situation was that a bunch of literary masters from the Lu Academy came to study and study the truth. What are the Dukes and Dukes in Dream of Red Mansions? They came here to take advantage of academic papers.
"Forget it, since you have time, let's talk together." Gu Ao didn't mind wasting some time. Listening to others' chats, maybe you'd get unexpected gains.
Chapter completed!
