Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 11: Becoming a Big Company
"What a great project!" Gu Ming's eyes lit up.

This show was a big hit back then.

No, it can even be called a phenomenon.

The average audience rating was 48%, and the highest audience rating was 61%.

You must know that the first-generation drama "Huan Zhuge Ge" only had a ratings of 65%.

In 99, only "Little Swallow Looking for Dad" could beat him.

Lu Yi, who played the male lead, became instantly famous all over the country thanks to this drama.

"take this opportunity."

"Director Zhao's TV series is guaranteed. If you win the leading role, you won't be far from becoming famous." Gu Ming analyzed for him.

"Same." Chen Kun smiled bitterly, "It's just that if I want to play the leading role, there is a prerequisite. I have to sign up for Director Zhao's Xin Baoyuan."

"I made my debut by acting in your drama."

"Now your company is involved in the artist economy..."

"To be honest, I'm really confused."

Gu Ming couldn't accept this.

Neither pulling nor rejecting.

Had to choose silence.

Chen Kun didn't ask any more questions. He looked up at the sky and said after a long time, "Give me three days."

"Ah."

Gu Ming nodded, without forcing it, and gave the choice to Chen Kun.

If the other party really chooses Xinbaoyuan.

It's not like they would turn against each other.

We meet as old classmates.

It's just that he will definitely not be asked to be the protagonist in future movies.

Gu Ming would not leave people in his company alone without praise.

Chen Kun doesn't have any role that he has to play.

……

Said it was three days.

In fact, it only took one night.

The next morning, Chen Kun found Gu Ming who was in a classroom and said, "When your company starts its artist economic business, I will sign with your company."

"Ah."

Gu Ming curled up his lips and nodded happily towards Chen Kun.

"You won't regret this choice."

"I also got a sneak peek of the new movie last night, and I plan to have you play the leading role, Xiao Ming, the second male lead."

"Where's the heroine?" Chen Kun asked.

"The audition, after all, is a bit revealing, and you have to consider whether the actor is willing to act."

"What is it about?"

"Keep it secret for now." Gu Ming smiled mysteriously.

I thought about it all night last night, and finally thought of a movie that I wanted to make, that was suitable for Huang Xiaoming at his current age, and that allowed me to fulfill my promise.

But this movie has an original novel, and I haven’t bought the copyright yet.

Keeping it secret now is also to reduce trouble.

……

There are two classes this morning from [-] to [-] o'clock.

After class, Gu Ming hurried to the small office of Daystar Film and Television.

I also made an appointment with someone for an interview at eleven o'clock.

Although the small company has already hired someone.

But the personnel interview was just for ordinary employees. This person, Gu Ming, planned to let her be the general manager and take care of everything for him.

Shouldn't the big boss interview and talk about it in person?
When I arrived at the company at 10:30, the other party was already waiting at the door.

This is a woman in her 20s, average-looking, with bangs.

He looks a little like Gong Li when he smiles.

"Hello, I'm Gu Ming."

"Li Xiaoping."

"I used to be the director of the advertising production department of Jiannong TV Technology Company, and the chief image designer of CCTV's "Economic Half-Hour"." "This is my resume." Li Xiaoping handed her resume to Gu Ming.

After casually looking through it, Gu Ming put his resume aside.

No need to read resume.

I already recognized who the lady across from me was.

Behind the light VP.

In the theater movie that I almost made in my previous life, Enlight invested in it, and I had met her several times.

"Please sit down."

"You work on a platform like CCTV."

"But you want to come to our company. Can I know why?" Gu Ming asked in a formal manner.

"Since the reopening, the domestic economy has achieved great development, but the film industry has retreated, and the box office has been worse than the previous year."

"Now the domestic film and television industry can no longer keep up with the spiritual and cultural needs of the majority of people."

"The higher authorities began to allow private capital to participate in film and television production in 95, just to change this situation."

"I feel that the film and television industry in the future will definitely be a huge blue ocean industry."

"Your company has a boss like you, a young film director, and you have obtained enough capital in Berlin. It is a very suitable platform for me to showcase my abilities."

"How do you think our company should develop?" Gu Ming had already decided to take this future vice president of Guangguang and a well-known producer into the company, but he still couldn't help but want to ask a few more questions.

"Movies are an unprofitable business. You can do it alone if you have a boss, or you can win some projects that you think have the potential to win prizes. The company mainly develops in the production of TV series."

"I don't know if you understand it, boss, but I still want to say that the probability of making money is much higher in TV than in movies, and some of the connections I left behind at work can also be used."

"Okay! Welcome to Daystar."

Gu Ming stood up and extended his hand, "From now on, you will be the general manager of Daystar. You will be responsible for daily affairs. I will only make movies and make big strategic decisions."

"Thank you. Your company will definitely not regret my joining."

"By the way, can I make a small suggestion?"

"Say."

"The first thing our Venus needs now is to change its office space, and then recruit enough people to establish various departments and institutionalize the company."

"You should take this matter as your first task after taking office and report on the important decisions." Gu Ming also wanted to formalize the company. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse and handed over the task directly to the other party with a smile.

"In addition, you should buy the film and television adaptation rights of Haruki Murakami's "The Barnyard" and William Faulkner's "The Barnyard" as soon as possible, and call me immediately after buying them."

"it is good!"

After completing the onboarding process for Li Xiaoping, Gu Ming drove back to the courtyard.

I came to the study room I had specially set aside and started writing the script.

"combustion".

Considering that he wanted to give Huang Xiaoming a second male lead and also help Chen Kun, who decided to join Daystar, this film was the one Gu Ming thought of as a more suitable choice.

……

During the period when Gu Ming was writing the script and drawing the storyboards.

Li Xiaoping got several things done.

Acquired the film and television adaptation rights of "Barn Burning".

The company also changed its office location.

On the ninth floor of an [-]-story commercial building not far from Nortel.

The entire floor is rented out and divided into departments: screenwriting department, photography department, agent department, and artist department.

Under the attraction of soft sister coins, staff from various departments were quickly filled.

The artist department also signed two people.

Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming.

The six-year contract guarantees at least one TV series or movie every year, with at least three male actors.

The basic salary is 2000 yuan per month, and the rest of the income is RMB [-], and the company charges RMB [-].

It seems that the company got a lot, but compared to the contracts offered to newcomers by other companies, this is already a quite generous contract.

The two of them signed without any doubts.

Some students also wanted to join after learning about this contract, but Gu Ming declined temporarily because the company had just begun to develop and they were not prepared to sign too many people.

First, the company's stall cannot be so big for the time being and cannot accommodate so many people.

The second is that Gu Ming does not want to give such a contract to others.

And I have to worry about estrangement.

It is better to delay and let them develop on their own first, and wait until the company becomes bigger.
