Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 121 Arrangements Before Leaving
"Give me some time, I'll check it out!"

To be honest, Gu Ming can think of many, many child stars.

What about Cao Jun, Shi Xiaolong, Zhang Yixian, Xie Miao...

But who knows their exact ages?
Doesn’t it match the setting of a six-year-old in the movie?
Gu Ming called his assistant and asked her to take care of it. He wanted to find a child actor about six years old, who would be cute.

After a while, the assistant's call came back.

"Mr. Gu, I found a guy named You Haoran. He was born in 96. He is quite cute. The protagonist in the advertisement was holding a footbath and said that he wanted to wash his mother's feet and also tell her about little ducks. story."

"Let's get in touch and call him over to have a look." After thinking about You Haoran, a tall man appeared in Gu Ming's mind.

The story about the little duck is quite cute.

But who knows what it’s like now?

It would be better to meet him in person.

If it's almost the same, it's him. At least the child actor has some experience and can communicate well. He will cry when he meets someone, and the filming of the scene will be sour.

You Haoran was born in Beijing.

When his parents received a call from Daystar saying they were auditioning for Gu Ming's new play.

I immediately pulled the child out of the kindergarten and galloped all the way to Daystar.

Gu Ming took the time to take a look and saw that he was still cute, so that was fine. He tried chatting with him again, and he was able to communicate with him. He was quite obedient, so he signed the contract directly.

He plays the heroine's son.

There was also a small role as the murderer's hairdresser's apprentice daughter, but Gu Ming directly gave it to Jiang Wenli's niece Ma Sicun.

Her age is appropriate, and her face is suitable for playing the role of a doormat who doesn't talk much and is often bullied by gangsters.

Plus he's one of his own.

There is no need to look for anyone else.

Soon, all the roles required for "Secret Sunshine" were signed, including Wang Zhiwen and Zhang Guoli. No one would be unwilling to play after receiving Gu Ming's invitation.

Not to mention Gu Ming's identity as the boss of the largest private film and television company in the country.

Just talking about his status as a director, he is so popular that he has won a Berlin Best Actor, and as a producer, he has won a Cannes Best Actress.

This time Gu Ming has directly stated that there will not be much room for performance in acting, but who knows next time?
You refused this time. Next time, I will try to see whether you will be considered for a film that shows your acting skills.

No actor would consider offending a famous director because of this.

……

On this day, Gu Ming was drawing storyboards at home.

The phone rang suddenly.

After picking up, the other person spoke English.

"Gu, I am Gilles Jacob from the Cannes Film Festival."

"Oh?"

Gu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.

This name is so familiar to me!
Famous French filmmaker.

There is also another identity, the chairman of the Cannes Film Festival Organizing Committee.

I had complained about it before.

The chairmen of the organizing committees of the three major jury groups called.

Do you want to invite yourself to be the chairman of this year’s jury?

No, I haven't been a judge yet, so it's unlikely that I will be directly appointed as the chairman of the jury.

He should be one of the judges.

Sure enough.

Next, the other party explained his intention.

"On behalf of the organizing committee, I invite you to be a member of the jury of this Cannes Film Festival. I wonder if Gu Qian is willing to show up. We really hope that a well-known filmmaker like you can participate."

To be honest, Gu Ming is still willing to go.

But after all, I still have a new film to prepare, so I asked, "What is the specific time for the event?"

"May 5 to May 15."

It is now March 4th.

After drawing the storyboards, I left the scenes and other matters to Diao Yinan and Cao Yu to consider. I came back from Cannes just in time to start shooting.

"Okay, I will participate."

"Okay, then you must arrive before the opening ceremony on May 5th."

"I'll definitely arrive."

hang up the phone.

Gu Ming was in a pretty good mood.

He temporarily put down the work at hand and came to the living room.

Yan Danchen is watching TV.

On TV, it was Zhao Zhetian singing as a dancer in the karaoke hall.

"My little enemy, what are you doing, acting like a fool."

"I asked, why, you didn't answer..."

It was a hit drama that was released last year but can no longer be found.

"Romance in the Rain".

"Ha ha……"

Thinking of the classic scenes of this drama, Gu Ming couldn't help laughing and learned the lines in it.

"What do you mean by an outsider? You almost married his two daughters, and you are still called an outsider?"

"Why is there such a mother? She wants to drag us all into the water. Maybe our origins will be unknown. I think, let dad shoot her to death."

"I'm not the only man in the world who is attracted to two women, am I?"

"Is this what you want to say sincerely?" Yan Danchen turned his head and tilted his head to look at Gu Ming, "You're not giving me a vaccination, are you? Honestly, are you attracted to two women?"

"No! It's too difficult to tempt me."

This is the truth.

It's OK to move the kidneys, but forget about moving the heart.

too tired.

"By the way, I may have to go out in May. Cannes invited me to be a judge."

"Really?"

"More real than real gold."

...Because I have to go to Cannes to be a judge, so time is tight.

After drawing the storyboards, Gu Ming left the scenery matters directly to the assistant director and cinematographer.

He himself has set his sights on TV series again.

The production of "Dae Jang Geum" was completed, and the first broadcast rights were purchased by Shonan Satellite TV at a high price of 700 million, more than [-] per episode plus advertising.

Gu Ming didn't know what to say.

Although Xiangnan Station is more entertainment-oriented, its taste is really poor.

There are one hit drama after another, and I am afraid that it is the only one that can compete with several CCTV channels this year.

And as "Dae Jang Geum" was also sold, an embarrassing thing happened.

Daystar actually doesn’t even have a TV series in production.

How does this work?
How can I maintain my status?

There are so many actors.

idle?

In this regard, Gu Ming is a very qualified entrepreneur.

For the development of the film and television industry, for people's spiritual and cultural needs, and of course, the most important thing is to ensure that the wages I pay to artists are not in vain, so that I can make more money.

Gu Ming immediately started patting his head and thinking about the drama.

Which drama is the most profitable and worry-free?
Of course it’s an idol drama!
With the current reputation of Daystar, and two well-known starring actors, I am afraid that the cost can be recovered by just the product placement in the drama.

It can also greatly increase the star's reputation and allow the artist's agent to make more money.

It’s impossible not to take pictures.

In this drama, Gu Ming decided to go to South Korea and harvested a fat sheep.

"My Love from the Star".

The lead actor is easy to say, I am sure the actor is Venus, and the female lead is Jin Suo. She will have no problem playing this kind of role.

In addition, with the foundation of the previous "Full House", the show can also be sold at a good price.

The words of the hero.

yellow?
forget it.

If you continue to act, don't look like "Bubble Summer".

Then let Chen Kun act. Huang Xiaoming has already acted in idol dramas, so it’s nothing for you to act. If you want to compete for a brother, how can you compete if you don’t have enough fame?
"Full House" made Huang Xiaoming extremely popular among teenagers and women, and it was not only popular in China, but also in Southeast Asia and South Korea.

Thinking about it, he would not refuse.

The second female lead, my fellow Sun Feifei, can come, and the second male lead, Liu Ye, can also do it.

The director turned to Liu Jiang, his old partner.

This drama is confirmed, and there is another drama that was planned before, and the screenwriting department simply let the screenwriting department take advantage of it when filming "Emperor Wu of Han".

Starring Huang Xiaoming, let Gao Yuanyuan be the heroine.

In addition, there must be serious dramas that enhance the style.

Some dramas are not very profitable, but they are worth filming.

I heard that Tangcheng over Chang'an is almost completed.

What else can I say? Make another drama about Li Shimin.

Planning first, it will take half a year no matter what. By then, Tangcheng should be built and set up for filming immediately.

We filmed his entire life from the time he was 16 years old when he was rescued by Yanmen.

That was a legendary life.

At the age of 19, at the Battle of Qianshuiyuan, the Western Qin Dynasty was destroyed.

At the age of 20, he defeated Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang, and regained Taiyuan.

At the age of 22, at the Battle of Hulao Pass, he captured two kings, Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande, in one battle.

23 years old ...

To be honest, he was too young as the coach during the founding battles of the Tang Dynasty.

But Taizong, those are General Tiance, Taiwei, Situ, Shangshu Ling, Yongzhou Mu, Zuo Wuhou General, Shaanxi Dao Daxingtai Shangshu Ling, Yizhou Dao Xingtai Shangshu Ling, Liangzhou General Manager, Shangzhu Kingdom , King of Qin.I'm afraid if you find a young actor in his teens or 20s, he won't be able to portray that feeling.

There is nothing suitable in Daystar.

After much deliberation, Gu Ming felt that he still had to find Ma Yue to act.

Only the Li Shimin played by him can make Gu Ming feel like a dragon and a phoenix, like the sun in the sky.

Queen Changsun was left to Miao Pu.

If there are any other actors who can be added, it will be up to the director to decide.

Director.

Let Hu Mei do it.

For this reason, Gu Ming also called the other party again.

"Director Hu, are you interested in starting another drama?"

"Tell me what show you're going to play first!"

Hu Mei is quite willing to cooperate.

The main reason is that during the filming of "Emperor of Han Dynasty", Venus was really interesting enough that she could film the drama according to her ideas without being constrained by funds.

It saves a lot of trouble, which is more important than anything else.

"The story about Li Shimin is called "The Rule of Zhenguan". It is the same as "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty". It is adapted directly from the history books."

"The investment budget is still 500 million. Since it is going to be a major drama, we Venus will not be stingy! If the budget is not enough, if you add more, your salary will be doubled."

When it came to this point, Hu Mei was too embarrassed to refuse, so she immediately agreed on the phone.

"Okay, I'll take the shot and let's work together again."

"Happy cooperation!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ming wrote down the names of the assigned artists on a piece of paper, and then compared them with the names of the company's artists.

Good guy!
Several artists have nowhere to go.

Among them are two artists who are also very popular now, Ling Xiaoshu and Li Yu.

"The Temptation of Going Home" is still being aired on several TV stations during the daytime slots, and the ratings are still good.

A favorite among moms and housewives.

Well, their popularity is different from other artists, a bit biased.

Then let’s make another drama suitable for the two of them and that housewives would love to watch.

A drama in which the heroine has almost no lines appeared in Gu Ming's mind.
