Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 126 Gu Ming’s new plan
"who is it?"

Gu Ming raised his eyebrows. It was such an obvious hint that he couldn't pretend to be stupid. Gu Ming simply used his cheeky spirit and said, "It can't be me, right?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xun nodded and admitted, and even blinked her smart eyes.

For a moment, Gu Ming didn't know what to say. I've never played a leading role with you. According to the trajectory of my previous life, you shouldn't have fallen in love with me!
Could it be that you are greedy for my beauty?
Ah!
How to do?
If you refuse, Gu Ming won't be able to open his mouth. If you don't refuse, he won't be able to open his mouth.

With Zhou Xun's current status, would he be willing to be the same as Gao Yuanyuan before?

And based on the trajectory of his past life, it is obvious that he is not such a person.

Although I have many boyfriends, they are all one-by-one, and I have not yet shared the actions of one man at the same time.

She was probably going to steal Yan Danchen's position.

Yan Danchen did nothing wrong, why should I give up?
But if you don’t want to give up, how can you answer?

You two are my wings.

Oh, there is also Gao Yuanyuan, which can be explained better. There are two-winged angels, four-winged angels, and even twelve-winged archangels.

However, Gu Ming's face was not that thick-skinned after all.

You can't open your mouth and say, well, if you take the initiative, I won't refuse, but you can only have me together.

So in the future, please stop talking about who will be my wife, and turn your competition into silent care. You can take care of me, but don't fight for who will be my wife.

Nonsence!

Gu Ming has never filmed a poor drama, and his three views have not been baptized in this way.

It's OK to have an exchange for resources. I'll do my best for everyone, but if you don't give something, you won't feel safe.

But the situation now is completely different!

"So? What should I do?" After thinking quickly, Gu Ming decided to give up the initiative and throw the problem back to Zhou Xun, letting Zhou Xun take action and just adapt to the situation.

Zhou Xun opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

The words came to my lips but I couldn't say them out.

After pausing for a few seconds, he said, "I don't know what to do. Yan Danchen is very good to you. I can't possibly take you away, but I don't want to share someone with others. You will never be the same again." You are the one in my heart."

"Oh, doesn't it look very entangled? Very pretentious?"

Zhou Xun smiled bitterly, "I wouldn't have said it if I had known."

Gu Ming was speechless. At this point, he, who had never been a scumbag, didn't know how to answer the question.

"I will wait for you until your wedding day!"

After saying these words, Zhou Xun took the wine glass and turned around and walked away.

When she left her back to Gu Ming, she raised her glass.

A tear slipped down and fell into the wine glass, causing tiny ripples.

This tear, just like this, melts into the wine, and the wine enters the heart of sorrow.

……

Such an episode made Gu Ming think about a lot overnight.

Of course, it was just one night.

Gu Ming is very busy. He has no time to think about any bullshit romantic love stories now. All he can do now is make money, win awards, and make movies. One day, he will become richer than George Lucas and richer than Spielberg. Famous, higher than the total box office of James Cameron's movies!

So, the next day, after giving instructions to the editors and roughly telling them how to edit, Gu Ming bought a plane ticket and left.

For this business, go to the United States.

The release date of "The Bourne Supremacy" is different from its previous life, and has been moved to July 7th.

"Men in Black 7" will be released on July 3rd.

No clue, the current Shi Huang is really exaggerating. Even if it has not reached the point where it has become a box office hit, the limelight is unparalleled. This is still a sequel movie, and the box office expectations are quite good.

"The Bourne Supremacy" can only avoid its edge.

Because Gu Ming had just won the Oscar for Best Picture and was already well-known in North America. Doug Liman called Gu Ming several times and invited him to come to the United States to promote The Bourne Supremacy.

Gu Ming has been delaying it because of the filming of a new movie, saying that he can't guarantee whether he can make it there.

Now that the movie has been completed, it would be bad if I didn’t go.

How can you say that you are also the director of this film? Even if you are a tool director, if you don’t go, it will affect the reputation in the industry!
After Gu Ming came to the United States.

I was dragged to the premiere on the same day.

He put on a black suit and was told not to smile too much. After all, the original author had just died more than a year ago, so the film would not sell well in the funeral hall and it would be easy for people to criticize him.

The premiere was just ordinary. Director Gu Ming told a few interesting things and that was it. Most of the time was left to Mark Damon and Doug Liman.

The main creative staff chatted for a while, and the movie officially started playing.

Gu Ming also became an audience and read it again from his seat.

Gu Ming is quite satisfied with the finished film that he edited.

Handheld photography and fast editing are more just to serve the film.

Instead of cutting fast for the sake of fast editing, catching a sheep and tearing it to death.

pity……

Gu Ming couldn't help but glance at the people from Universal Pictures.For this kind of series of commercial films, I, as the director, cannot get the final editing rights. Most likely, Universal will still follow the same old path, swaying, and finally making the audience feel physically uncomfortable and want to vomit after walking out of the theater.

And when it is qualified to have the final editing rights, the director's salary of [-]% is not what Universal is willing to give.

The final result will definitely be a substitution.

For the film company, the most important thing about this kind of series is the lead actor, that is, Matt Damon. Even Matt Damon is not irreplaceable.

Not to mention the director, the production company will think that maybe there will be different surprises if the director is changed.

……

for a long time.

The images of agents on the screen are all the gentleman in 007, or the hot soup in "Mission: Impossible".

No one thought that the audience was actually a little tired of this image.

Therefore, when a spy film like "The Bourne Supremacy" appeared, in which the male and female protagonists both looked ordinary and strived to be real.

The reputation is surprisingly good.

The box office has also been rising.

The three-day box office of the first weekend reached 2710 million US dollars.

For such a figure, based on a rough calculation based on the fact that the total box office of most films is 4 to 5 times the first weekend box office, there is no problem in exceeding [-] million.

This gave Universal an idea immediately.

For the second part, we still have Gu Ming as director.

However, I didn't feel too anxious. I just looked at the situation for two more days. The box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" on Monday and Tuesday was about 500 million, which was not a big drop.

The reputation is still very good.

The film was still being promoted, and Ronan, the vice president of Universal who appeared with Doug Liman, couldn't wait to find Gu Ming.

"Gu, are you interested in being the director of The Bourne Supremacy 2?"

"We still trust your control of this type of action movie."

"I believe our cooperation can create a better box office."

"If you are willing, we can give you a salary of 800 million US dollars, divided according to the terms of the last cooperation."

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in being the director of this film anymore. You should find someone else." Gu Ming shook his head and refused.

Being a tool director is enough once.

With so many people in charge, I can't make much money. It's about the same as making a Chinese-language literary film and winning an award at the three major universities and then selling the copyright. It's really uncomfortable.

"Because of money?" Ronan asked curiously.

"There are reasons for this, but more importantly, it is the dominance." Gu Ming smiled, "As you know, I have the final say in all other films I shoot."

"?"

"This is difficult." Ronan chuckled and shook his head suddenly, "If you don't have enough money, we can give you up to 900 million US dollars and the final editing rights. We can let you be a producer and have control over the final editing. Have a voice.”

"But you alone have the final say."

"To be honest, even Michael Bay and David Fincher can't do it at this level,"

"There are not as many fingers in Hollywood that can do this as I have on my right hand!" Ronan raised his hand and withdrew one finger, leaving only four fingers.

"I'm sorry then." Gu Ming also shook his head.

"Gu! Think about it carefully. If you continue to be the director of The Bourne Supremacy, or even direct the entire Bourne Supremacy series, your status will rise to the point where anyone who has heard of The Bourne Supremacy will think of you. You I will leave my name in Hollywood forever." Ronan did not continue the negotiation and left these words before standing up and walking away.

It's been a week.

The box office of "The Bourne Supremacy" rose to US$6300 million, which is visible to the naked eye above the US$1.2 million box office.

Ronan approached Gu Ming again and said, "Gu, we can give you a salary of 1000 million US dollars, and the share will remain as usual."

"I still have the same request as last time."

"Gu! This is impossible. You haven't reached that level yet. We have to follow the rules of Hollywood." Ronan persuaded for a long time.

Gu Ming didn't really want to take pictures, so he made a high request. If the other party was willing to give it, he would take the pictures.If the other party didn't give it, Gu Ming wasn't in a hurry.

Negotiations broke down successfully.

At this time, Gu Ming also finished participating in the promotion.

However, Gu Ming did not return home immediately.

During the promotion period, Sony Columbia had paid all 700 million of the "Green Book" share into Gu Ming's account.

Now that he has money and his status in Hollywood has been stabilized with the release of The Bourne Supremacy, and it is expected that the director's films will have a box office of over [-] million in North America for three consecutive years, some plans have to be officially launched.

I have only been working as a director here and getting paid. Although I make a lot of money, who doesn't want to make more?
There is no other way for the Big Six to make money from distribution. Distribution channels cannot be opened up just because you want to.

But in terms of production, there is still a chance.

Gu Ming made an appointment with his former manager Sophia.

"Gu, are you willing to sign a management contract with me?" Sophia was very happy to see Gu Ming, her most important client, again, "Our contract expired and you did not renew it. I thought before Are you going to sign with CAA or other agents, but I have never heard such news, Gu, what do you want to do?"

"I want to buy a small production company here in Hollywood and then produce my own films. How about you come and help me? I will give you a basic salary of US$30 per year. If you do well, you can increase it in the future. "
