Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

For the actors, the factory selected from various art soldiers and retired female soldiers, and finally decided on team leader Lu Hua, to be played by retired female soldier Lan Xi.

After Lan Xi retired, he was assigned to work in the factory. He had several acting experiences, and he was tall and strong with a calm personality, which made him very suitable for the role of Lu Hua.

The other actors were recommended by the factory or came from Gao You’s training class.

The crew returned to Dongjia Village again for filming.

This time when I came to Dongjia Village again, it was the same as last time, with those old people sitting at the entrance of the village, listening to the radio.

The filming of the crew went very smoothly, as if God was helping, it rained when it was supposed to rain and it was sunny when it was supposed to be sunny.

During the filming, the uniforms and equipment worn by the rescue team were sponsored by the Dawn Factory, the Hope Factory and the Umbrella Factory, which saved the crew a lot of money.

The Tianliang Factory has been completed and is located in the suburbs of Beijing.

The factory has introduced some foreign production lines, and the fabrics are new fabrics developed in cooperation between the factory and the Textile University, with its own patents.

At present, it mainly produces various outdoor sportswear and sports equipment.

In addition, the thermos cup production line of the Hope Factory has also been invested in research and development and production for a long time, and has produced a batch of thermos cups, insulated lunch boxes, etc.

In addition to other production lines, we have also developed some outdoor tools, such as safety ropes, multi-function knives, multi-function shovels, etc.

As soon as the thermos cup was launched on the market, it became very popular. In addition, Gao You invited Du Shan and her female mountaineering team to shoot an advertisement, which made the Hope Factory thermos cup even more popular. It is very practical whether it is given as a gift or for personal use.

Gao You also cooperated with Director Mao to produce a series of outdoor products such as tents and moisture-proof mats. Although the audience is not as wide as that of thermos cups, they have a good reputation among outdoor athletes and enthusiasts, and opened up sales.

The studio didn't have sufficient funds for this film, so they had to save money in some areas. Gao You decided to make the most of it by embedding these products in the film, thus killing two birds with one stone.

Good weather doesn’t mean the shooting is easy. On the contrary, this shooting was no easier than “Extreme 8848”.

"Extreme 8848" is about fighting against snow-capped mountains and bad weather.

"Rescue 1998" is a life-and-death battle against natural disasters.

Fortunately, the actors who played the rescue team received a month of group training before filming, and they were in good physical condition, otherwise they would not have been able to survive the filming.

They were either rescuing people in the rain or rolling in the mud. In addition, the weather was hot, so several actors and actresses insisted on performing while drinking Huoxiang Zhengqi water.

After finishing the filming of this movie, not only the actors, but all the crew members lost nearly 15 kilograms.

However, when the filming was finished, everyone was in good spirits.

After filming the movie, Gao You will rush to Venice to attend this year's film festival.

The film "After Dawn" directed by her and Wang Qiyun was shortlisted for the main competition unit.

Although this was the first time for Wang Qiyun and Gao You to attend the Venice Film Festival, it was normal for them to be shortlisted for the top three, and no one was too surprised. They just sent their blessings.

Gao You almost missed the film festival because of the filming of "Rescue 1998".

She missed the previous premiere.

Fortunately, I made it to the award ceremony.

This time, except for Wang Qiyun, all six people in Gao You’s dormitory were present.

This is the first reunion for the six people after graduation.

Everyone sat together and talked about the new unit and new job.

Yu Lishu is doing quite well in her hometown of Guangdong Province.

She is now preparing to play the leading female role in a new film produced by the studio, "Red Flame Time".

Zhu Xiaoya is just a newcomer in Haicheng Animation Film Studio, but she met a teacher who likes her very much. She is learning from her and is also perfecting the creation of "Gold, Water, Fire and Earth".

Gao You's animation department is also recruiting talents. Its current work mainly involves producing promotional animations and advertising animations.

The twins are also doing well at the Beijing Film Studio and are participating in the creation of a new film.

Liao Hanyu is also learning from her master.

Wang Qiyun was also assigned to the Xi'an Film Studio, and she was also preparing her own new film.

But the most powerful one is of course Gao You.

Just a few months after joining the new unit, I shot a film.

When a few people were chatting about recent developments, Teacher Mo, oh, now Director Mo.

Director Mo came to tell them the good news.

They were invited to the awards ceremony!

"I knew that with Director Gao and Director Wang around, we would never fail." Zhu Xiaoya patted their shoulders excitedly.

"You mean to say that a thief never leaves empty-handed!" Gao You laughed.

"You said that yourself." Zhu Xiaoya made a face.

But if you think about it carefully, the two of them really never returned empty-handed.

I just don’t know what big prize I can win this time.

Gao You has become quite calm about this.

Of course, you can never have too many awards.

The more awards you win, the more glory you gain and the more say you have.

This is Gao You's first time to Venice, but when walking on the red carpet, many fans came to support Gao You.

After the releases of "Cold Dew", "Mulan General" and "Extreme 8848" around the world, Gao You has gradually gained fans all over the world.

Some people fell in love with Cantonese opera because of "General Mulan", some people fell in love with mountaineering because of "Extreme 8848", but one thing they all have in mind is that they like the director Gao You.

Gao You and Wang Qiyun were quite relaxed during this visit to Venice.

No matter what award it is, it is a mark on their resume and a sign of their progress in their career as directors.

So, when various awards were presented one after another and their names were not on the list, Gao You and the others finally felt a little nervous.

“It won’t be the biggest prize, right?” Zhu Xiaoya’s voice was trembling.

The acting and directing awards have been handed out, so now there are only two awards left.

"Most likely it's the Special Jury Prize." Lu Xue felt that the Special Prize was already very good.

"The winner of the Special Jury Prize is 'The Fountain of Life', congratulations." The presenter read out the name of another shortlisted film.

Now, among the nominated films, they are the only ones who have not won any awards.

There is only one award left, the most important gold award!

Gao You and Wang Qiyun smiled at each other, and couldn't help but raise their hands and clap each other.

Zhu Xiaoya opened her eyes wide and watched the crew of "The Fountain of Life" walk up to the podium.

No way!

The twins' hearts were beating wildly, and they held hands to calm each other down.

Yu Lishu was very calm. Looking at her companions, she felt that this was what they deserved.

Liao Hanyu couldn't hold back either and a smile appeared on her face.

Gao You suddenly felt a little regretful that Liu Xiaozhen didn't come.

Xiaozhen has to take care of Dajiang and Dahe, both of whom have recently undergone bone-setting surgery and are recuperating.

Liu Xiaozhen, the protagonist, did not attend the award ceremony.

"The winner of the Venice Gold Award is "After Dawn" from China, directed by Gao You and Wang Qiyun. Congratulations to them!" The award presenter finally read out their names.
