Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 129 Venetian Water Monster

"Yeah, I don't know who gave birth to such a stupid son. He must have learned from his mother." Gu Ming began to hurt each other.

"That's right, dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, silly..."

"No, son, how do you know this was done by a man?"

Gu's mother realized something was wrong, and slowly turned her head and looked at Gu Ming with wide eyes, "Are you the stupid, ah no, stupid person who is so lucky to buy Wangyi stocks?"

"Yes, it's your silly son." Gu Ming patted himself, "Are you surprised?"

"So is this stock really profitable?" After hearing that it was her son who bought it, Gu's mother's attitude changed and she suddenly made a 180-degree turn.

She has not forgotten the last time her son taught her to buy stocks, which made her family make a lot of money.

If her son hadn't asked her to exchange stocks, she wouldn't have earned 200 million, or would she have to put all her capital into it?
Yes, my son doesn’t do much stock trading and has never studied finance.

But she had a feeling that her son was blessed with good luck, and everything he did would go smoothly, and whatever he bought would go up.

It speaks volumes that he has achieved such great achievements at such a young age and accomplished things that even Zhang Yimou could not accomplish.

Now that my son has been sold, this stock called Wangyi is very promising!

"You can make money." Gu Ming nodded helplessly.

"Then Mom bought some more, just in time to sell that thing called Apple, which is a very good technology stock. It was also very high before. I thought I was buying at the bottom of the mountain. But after I bought it, I started to feel half dead. , and it has fallen a lot, you are obviously against me!"

"Which apple?" Gu Ming was excited.

"Apple, that's the one who makes computers."

"Well..." Gu Ming held his head and suddenly felt a pain in his head. Mom bought this stock. It's not that she doesn't know how to buy it. The key is that she can't hold it.

However, Apple seems to be outperforming the Internet in recent times.

He could only nod his head, "Buy it first, then sell it when I tell you, and then take the apple back and hold it."

"Hold for how long?"

"Hold it until your grandson reaches adulthood." Gu Ming said helplessly.

"I have a grandson?" Gu Ma's attention was always unusual. Her eyes were bright and she stared straight at Gu Ming. "Who gave birth to him? Is it my dear, my girlfriend, or an ordinary friend?"

"For example, let's use an analogy, understand?"

"Oh..." The disappointment on my mother's face flashed, and she immediately changed the topic, not even talking about stocks, but talking about so-and-so's having a grandson again, and so-and-so's son getting a wife.

Exactly the same as thousands of mothers.

Gu Ming could only return to his bedroom speechlessly, turned on his computer and browsed the web page.

……

The next day.

Gu Ming appeared at the completion ceremony of Tangcheng.

Although he is still considered a big shot in the film industry, in this ceremony he is just like Xiao Mengxin. If you pick anyone at random, he will be at the same level as Han Sanpin, and there will be others higher than him.

Because there is also old A from Chang'an here.

It’s awesome now, and it will be even better in the future.

After the ceremony, the other party came to chat with Gu Mingjin, "As an international director, it is rare for Director Gu to not forget his hometown and contribute to the tourism industry of his hometown."

"I hope that Director Gu will always keep his hometown in his heart in the future, and welcome Director Gu to invest in his hometown to drive economic growth in his hometown."

"Yes! Since you said so, we at Daystar are going to set up a subsidiary to do film and television special effects. We can set up the subsidiary in Chang'an by then." In Gu Ming's plan, he was originally going to set up a special effects company. .

If you go to Hollywood to make a movie, the next one shot in China must be one that can win both the domestic box office and the overseas box office.

A movie like this must be a blockbuster instead of an action movie.

I don’t want to play in costume blockbusters.

Playing modern blockbusters definitely requires a lot of special effects.

Difficult special effects can only be left to special effects companies in Hollywood.

The ones that are not that difficult must be domestic.

Unfortunately, the current domestic special effects companies are really mediocre because of the small workload and low investment. It is better to make one yourself, and then hand over the special effects to your own company, and constantly exercise the capabilities of your own special effects company.

It is actually better for a special effects company to be established in a film and television gathering place like Beijing, or in a place like Shenghai where the economy is relatively developed and the film and television industry is OK.

But since the other party asked that, it is not impossible to make some contributions to his hometown, and he can also strengthen his position in Chang'an.

In any case, the film and television dramas produced by Daystar are enough to support a special effects company. It can even be said with confidence that relying on its own films, the company's special effects level can be honed to the top in the country. In the past ten years, the domestic special effects company There are few movies that use a lot of special effects, and the box office cannot support such a movie.

Then, it will definitely attract some special effects production from other films.

Talking about the employees needed by special effects companies, in terms of the cities where domestic universities are concentrated, there are 26 211 universities in Beijing, 10 in Shenghai, 8 in Jinling, 7 in Chang'an, and there is another one in Xianyang, which is almost the same place nearby. In total, There are 8 schools, which are definitely among the first echelons in the country.

If you stick to these universities, you don't have to worry about future talent training, and the companies here can be a little lower.

"Special effects company, technology company!" The other party nodded, "Okay, since Director Gu is willing to invest in his hometown, we will definitely protect him." After saying that, the other party also called the secretary over and saved Gu Ming's money. Phone, let Gu Ming call if he needs anything.

After chatting for nearly 10 minutes, the other party went to do other things.

After the completion ceremony, Gu Ming had a meal with the chairman of Qujiang Cultural Tourism.

……

I stayed in Chang'an for several days. After returning to the capital, I had not stayed there for a few days before I had to leave again.

Yan Danchen, the producer, did not join because she was about to start school.

Gu Ming, Zhou Xun, Zhang Guoli, several companies, and people from China Film were waiting to fly to Venice.

The time is close, and there are not many flights every day.

This time I also met another domestic director who was going to Venice, Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Speaking of this person, this is Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Hu Mei, and Gu Changwei, who were the leaders in the school at that time. Like Kaige, they are also from aristocratic families, and even have a higher status than Kaige's family. His father is from Beijing Film Studio. The first factory director.

He is a representative of the fifth generation of directors.

He is also a tragic representative figure among this generation of directors.

"Blue Kite" was directly banned for ten years, which can be regarded as the longest ban among well-known directors.

"Hello, senior!" Gu Ming greeted Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"It's an honor for me to be your senior! You have brought a lot of glory to our school." Tian Zhuangzhuang praised Gu Ming when he came up, and then changed the subject, "But it would be great if I could study for a graduate degree in directing. .”

"It seems like none of our famous directors from Beijing Film Academy are from the directing department."

"You are from the acting department, Zhang Yimou, Gu Changwei and the others are from the photography department. Among the young people there is Jia Zhangke, who is from the literature department, and Huo Jianqi, who is from "The Man and the Dog in the Mountains", is from the fine arts department."

"If you are willing to take the postgraduate entrance examination, as long as you pass the written test, you will definitely be able to get into it. It is also easy to get a doctorate."

"Speaking of which, if you are really interested in applying, you can apply as my graduate student. I just returned to school to teach this year." At this point, Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed sheepishly.

After some small talk, Gu Ming found out that the film Tian Zhuangzhuang brought this time was a remake of Fei Mu's "Spring in a Small Town". It was not entered into the main competition. This time he brought it over to see if he could sell the film.

Soon, two groups of people boarded the same plane.

After a flight of more than ten hours, it was impossible to sleep just by sleeping, so a few people started chatting.

Looking out the window, there was a blue sky that made it difficult to tell whether it was the sky or the sea. Zhou Xun suddenly asked, "What does that Venetian water monster look like?"

"Boss, there is no Venetian water monster!"

"How is it possible?" Zhou Xun didn't believe it. "I saw some stories on TV, and they were very true. They also said that this water monster might be a plesiosaur from many, many years ago."

"That's the Loch Ness Monster."

"Oh, that's it!" Zhou Xun smacked his lips and gave Gu Ming a gentle punch, "You can't do it without culture? What's there in Venice?"

"There is Porco Rosso." Gu Ming lay on the backrest and said comfortably, "There is an ace pilot named Poluk, nicknamed Porco Rosso, who lives in this area. Strangely enough, that pilot is also like a pig. Brain.”

"Oh..." Zhou Xun rolled his eyes, "Don't think I haven't seen Hayao Miyazaki's movie "Porco Rosso"."

"Hahaha."

In the midst of constant chatting, closing eyes and resting, the plane landed safely.

The group finally arrived at this famous water city located in northeastern Italy.

It was Gu Ming's first time here. Even though he was mentally prepared, his eyes lit up when he saw Shuicheng.

The city is located on 118 small islands, linked together by 177 large and small rivers and various bridges.

There are no streets, only waterways as far as the eye can see.

Gu Ming and the others came to the hotel by boat.

When I go out to do errands, or even to attend the opening ceremony of a film festival, I have to take a boat. It feels like I can just reach out and grab a handful to wash my face. Unfortunately, Gu Ming is not Ah San, so he doesn't dare to use such water. Who knows? what is inside.

After attending the opening ceremony on Lido Island, Gu Ming's "Secret Sunshine" was scheduled to premiere on the third day.

Before the premiere, Gu Ming started traveling and watching films with other members of the crew just like he had attended other film festivals before.

Of course, the first one to show my support was Tian Zangzhuang's "Spring in a Small Town" screened here.

The second part.

amount……

It was specially chosen by Gu Ming. After seeing this movie, he decided to watch it first, which could be regarded as a way to support him.

This is a movie called "Oasis".

Speaking of which, the director of this movie and Gu Ming have a big connection that is unknown to everyone.
