Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 134 Such a super blockbuster

"Old Jiang, what's wrong with you?"

"You also want to be one of the top three movie stars?" Gu Ming teased subconsciously.

To be honest, it's a bit difficult. The previous movies starring Jiang Wen were okay, such as Yu Zhan'ao in "Red Sorghum" and Qin Shutian in "Furong Town". Li Lianying in "The Great Eunuch Li Lianying" acted very well.

But it seems that the smell of ginger started to appear in "Speak Well".

Later on, the smell is too strong.

Maybe the audience is watching too much?I always feel that Jiang Wen plays everything.

"What kind of actor do you think you are?"

"I'm about to wear pants."

Jiang Wen pulled up a chair and sat in front of Gu Ming, "Do you know why I came to you?"

"I don't know." Gu Ming had a vague guess, but it was better not to take the initiative to talk about this kind of thing.

"really do not know?"

"really do not know."

"What do you think of our relationship?" Jiang Wen reached out to grab Gu Ming's hand, but Gu Ming dodged it.

"Let's not do what the ancients did. We are all men. Why are we holding hands? Do we still have to sleep with contentment? When the time comes, we will come to Taoyuan to form a sworn brotherhood and discuss military support and social support..."

"Forget it, this is not up for debate."

"What's the matter? You just say no?" Gu Ming said with a smile, "I'll see if I can help first."

"Okay, then I'll take the liberty to tell you, have you heard about Liu Xiaoqing?"

"I've heard of it!" Gu Ming nodded, "He was caught."

"It's not out yet." Jiang Wen's face looked a little painful. He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.

"what……"

Gu Ming didn't know what to say.

Your ex-girlfriend is having a hard time, shouldn't you be happy?

What's more, you are only one-seventh of Aunt Xiaoqing.

Not even a quarter of those who have been married.

No, it should be only one-fifth of the opponent's now.

Speaking of which, Aunt Xiaoqing is a cruel person!
In order to have a registered permanent residence in the capital, I got married quickly. On the fourth day after the wedding, I went to film a movie. I aborted a child myself. The clinic I went to was not good, and I will never be able to have children again.

The divorce ended six years later. I met actor Chen Guojun while filming in 80. After struggling for several years, the other party finally divorced and the two got married.

Aunt Xiaoqing went to film another movie called "Furong Town".

The male protagonist is Jiang Wen.

They were together like this, and their second husband didn’t divorce until 90.

He and Jiang Wen broke up in 94.

I've been dating a Hong Kong actor for a few years, and now I think I'm with a guy named Ah Feng.

but……

If you calculate it this way, you have been with Jiang Wen for eight years, which is the longest among these people.

In addition, she supported Jiang Wen's change of career as a director, and Liu Xiaoqing also contributed money to the original "Sunny Days".

It's normal to have this feeling.

Gu Ming could only pat Jiang Wen on the arm and said, "Short of money? I can lend you some. One to twenty million is nothing."

"That won't be of use for the time being. I just want to ask if you have any connections in this area?"

"What do you say?"

Gu Ming almost rolled his eyes, "I'm in the entertainment industry, and she is telling the truth about this."

"It's not high enough to release her directly."

"Besides, don't you understand why you were arrested?"

"In the matter of tax evasion, it is obvious that we want to catch a model and shock him. Now that the model has been established, are we going to let him go? Of course, this is the rumor I heard. If it is because of other things, then it cannot be let go. ”

"There's only one way now."

"What way?"

"Admit it!" Gu Ming said, "Pay what you need to make up for, and pay what fines you need to pay. Even if you lose everything and owe a lot of debt, don't think about confronting him."

"Attitude, the most important thing is attitude."

"Of course, if you should find a lawyer, you still have to look for that kind of barrister." These days, it's not just ordinary people who can become barristers.

"I see."

Jiang Wen took out a cigarette and started smoking.

"Logically speaking, she and I can at best be considered ex-boyfriends now, so it doesn't matter."

"But she really helped me a lot back then. If I don't help her now, who will help her."

"Hey, stop talking about that."

Jiang Wen stood up.

"I won't be able to use your money for the time being. If I don't have enough money in the end, then I can sign an actor to your company. You can just give me an advance in advance. I owe you a favor."

"It's vulgar. It seems like I'm kidnapping you. It doesn't matter if you don't sign an acting contract."

"No, then I owe you a lot of favors." Jiang Wen scratched his head, "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll find a few more lawyers. I feel like what I have now is not enough."

"Well, I won't send it away."

Gu Ming stood up and sat back down after seeing Jiang Wen leave.

When talking about Liu Xiaoqing, I think of Jin Suo.

Jinsuo's life will be quite nourishing in the future.

After Liu Xiaoqing came out, his house was mortgaged and he owed a lot of debt.

At that time, as long as she was given money, she was willing to act in anything. She could take on any role of a mother, even with a few lines.

I stayed in Hengdian for more than a year, and I had to be called the best in Hengdian. …

"correct!"

"This place can't stay anymore."

Most likely, various people will come looking for me.

You have to deal with them one by one.

Gu Ming simply left Daystar and went to China Film's editing room to check on the progress of "Hero."

Unexpectedly, I saw Han Sanpin at the door of the editing room.

"Aha, are you here to see the editing situation?" Han Sanpin had a smile on his face, and his whole body was beaming.

"I took a look at the cut samples."

"That image, that scene, that color."

"It's really a masterpiece!"

"That story?" Gu Ming asked.

Han Sanpin's face suddenly became less happy, but he still kept smiling, "Is it okay? The stories of Zhang Yimou's movies are never very good, right?"

"Besides, a commercial blockbuster needs a good story?"

"What did "True Lies" say? When a wife cheats on her, she can be forgiven in the end and live happily together again."

"What did "Titanic" say? It's not just a story of an affair. A poor boy and a rich girl, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are just a story passed down from generation to generation. It's the same story."

"And that one in "The Unforgettable Catastrophe" where oil workers exploded meteorites?"

"How good are these stories? Aren't they all high in box office?"

"Good guy, forget it if you didn't come to pick me up, you'll get in trouble when we meet!" Gu Ming made a joke.

"I didn't get the golden lion. I know you're unhappy, so I won't congratulate you, lest you think I'm mocking you."

"And at that time I was discussing a super blockbuster with a famous director."

At this point, the smile on Han Sanpin's face became thicker, and his eyes were full of expectations. He looked at the ceiling, as if he had already seen a bright future.

"Hey, do you know who I'm looking for?" Han Sanpin raised his chin happily and encouraged Gu Ming.

"Super blockbuster? James Cameron?"

"Fuck you." Han Sanpin pushed Gu Ming without curiosity, "It's Brother Chen Kai."

"He has a great idea, which can be turned into a fantasy blockbuster!"

"If Zhang Yimou's "Hero" can recover the cost and achieve good box office in North America, China Film will invest US$3000 million to let Chen Kai make his blockbuster."

"Hey, are you interested in investing? I can give you [-]%, and then you can attach a producer to it."

"Si..." Gu Ming took a breath.

It turns out to be such a super blockbuster!
Han Sanpin, Han Sanpin!
Been working together for so many years.

You actually want me to lose money. Not only do you want to lose money, but you also want to destroy my reputation. You still want to destroy it directly into the sewer and I don’t know when I can save it.

"What's your expression?" Han Sanpin's face became nervous, "You think you can't make money?"

"I do not know either."

Gu Ming didn't want to answer this question.

It’s not that I think it can’t make money, it’s that “The Promise” really can’t make money.

In his previous life, he invested US$500 million.

The domestic box office is 1.68 million. Regardless of any promotion expenses, including 40.00% of China Film, it is more than 700 million, less than 900 million US dollars.

There is still a shortfall of $600 million.

Oh, and there’s the $90+ deposit that Harvey Weinstein didn’t want.

There are only 500 million left.

How much can other foreign copyrights be sold for?

Chinese people have not been able to understand it for 20 years, but foreigners can understand it?
It’s a movie that you can’t even understand, it didn’t win any awards, the director didn’t have any box office hits internationally, and the protagonist doesn’t have the box office or DVD appeal of Jackie Chan, so why pay a high price?

Because your investment costs are high?

Foreign film producers are not believers.

The price is definitely not high.

The most optimistic estimate adds up to 1000 million.

This can no longer be said to be a loss of money, it is a loss of blood, and it is about to be used as pants.

"No, tell me what you think!"

Han Sanpin called Gu Ming to one side and sat down, and the two of them started talking next to each other, "We have been friends for so many years, is there anything else we can't say?"

"Why do you have this expression on your face when you heard that it was a movie made by Brother Chen Kai, and why are you so prejudiced against him?"

"No." He is a serious insider. Zhang Yimou was criticized so badly by people in the industry, and Feng Pants, when have you ever seen Brother Chen Kai being criticized like this by people in the industry?

Gu Ming was still afraid of being criticized by people in the circle.

Then say you don't respect the elderly.

Mingzi, as for me, I recognized myself earlier than you, so I will give you a message today.

Young people, don't be too arrogant!

"I don't think it's as serious as you said?" Han Sanpin put his arm around Gu Ming's shoulders.

"How can a director who can produce "Farewell My Concubine" be any worse? His most recent film, "With You" starring Chen Hong, was quite good."

"Besides, it's a blockbuster, as long as the scenes are big enough and the plot doesn't need to be too deep, he'll be fine."

I'm afraid he'll go deeper!
There was no one who could control him in 94.

Who else can restrain him?
"I'm not a producer anyway."

"It's too expensive to invest." Gu Ming shook his head and quickly found a reason, "I want to set up a special effects company and plan to make a blockbuster, but I really can't afford it."
