Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 151 Investors’ Enthusiasm
It is worthy of being the go-to special effects company for Star Wars.

The strength is really good.

All the special effects Gu Ming needs can be done.

The quote was a bit expensive, and the final quote reached US$1000 million.

Gu Ming switched to another special effects company to produce the digital field of "Titanic".

The other party's quotation was the same as that of Industrial Light & Magic.

Moreover, today’s special effects companies are very big-name, and they basically won’t negotiate the price with you, it’s just what you say.

Bargain?

Then forget it.

You think it's expensive, but I still think it's expensive. These are top-notch special effects artists and top-notch machines.

If that doesn't work, go and see where you can get a lower price quote.

If you don't come out, others will.

I can't even take care of the tasks listed, there is no shortage of such an order.

Since the price is the same, Gu Ming doesn't have to worry about it.

I directly chose the most famous Industrial Light and Magic.

First sign a letter of intent.

As for the money, let’s raise it together.

Gu Ming wants to go to Hong Kong Island for filming, but it is obviously not possible to go to Hong Kong Island for filming, so he can only wait until July.

But the funds can be received first!
After deciding which company to use for special effects, Gu Ming stopped staying in the United States and returned to the capital.

I found Han Sanpin with the script and footage.

When I entered China Film Academy, I happened to meet Brother Chen Kai at the door.

At this time, he was full of joy and confident about his future.

"Director Chen." Gu Ming greeted, "Are you here to discuss the new film with Mr. Han?"

"Yes!"

Speaking of the new film, Brother Chen Kai couldn't stop smiling on his face, "The chat went very smoothly. When "The Promise" is released, Director Gu will have to attend the premiere."

"what……"

Gu Ming was a little confused.

I went to the premiere. What should I say after attending?

The reporter asked the consultant what do you think of this film?
I see with my eyes.

The reporter asked the consultant again what do you want to say?

I'd love to know what's underneath the clothes?I don’t want this either!Seen it all.

Let yourself briefly evaluate Wuji again.

Saying nice things is unconscionable. Saying unflattering things will offend others and is not worth it.

Could it be possible to also use Li Eucalyptus’s famous saying?

Forget it, let’s just brag about the colors and pictures when the time comes.

After thinking about how to deal with the situation in the future, Gu Ming nodded repeatedly, "That's for sure. Remember to send me an invitation letter when the time comes. No matter how busy you are, I will definitely be there."

"I also want to watch Director Chen's new film as soon as possible."

"I believe Director Chen will definitely refresh everyone's minds and create a unique blockbuster that only Director Chen can produce."

"Hahaha! That's an award." Chen Kaige felt a little elated and laughed, "Then let's make an agreement. When the time comes, I will send you an invitation. There is no need to say anything nice, just find faults."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I have to go back too."

"See you."

Nodding slightly, and after passing by Brother Chen Kai, the muscles on Gu Ming's face couldn't help but tremble.

Does Director Chen feel that his "The Promise" has no faults at all?

Just find fault.

If I just find fault, I will completely offend him.

Gu Ming didn't think this man was a generous person.

Liu Yan understands this very well. Didn't he just ask what would happen to you if the result of your movie is not as good as you imagined?
how about it?
He dropped the microphone on the spot.

However, Gu Ming feels that he can understand it. Even if Chen Kai didn't shoot "The Promise" well, he must have good appreciation for movies. After the filming is completed, can he not see the problem after watching the finished film?
It's a pity that it can't be changed.

He already knew his film would be met with critical acclaim and a box-office hit.

In this case, if you ask whether the result of the film will be bad, isn't this just adding salt to the wound?

Of course my mentality immediately collapsed!
If I have confidence in the film, are you still afraid to ask?
Without if, the box office hits you in the face after it is released, letting you know how superficial your problem is.

"Hi……"

After looking back at Brother Chen Kai's back, Gu Ming walked into China Film Studio.

He asked two security guards to stand outside Han Sanpin's door, knocked on the door twice, and then pushed the door open directly.

Then he saw Han Sanpin holding a pen and looking at Gu Ming with a smile on his face.

"I knew it was you."

"Let me guess what it's about, the new movie?"

"The one who knows me is Lao Han."

"Quickly pull it off, you are not the type to sit back and relax. The previous film "The Untouchables" has ended long ago, and there is no news about planning a new film. I know you will never be able to hold it in."

"Maybe I'll hold it back a lot."

"What kind of movie is it this time? Are you looking for Li Lianlian to shoot "Rescue 3"?"

"There's no rush about that. Besides, I don't like making sequels either. This is a new film." Gu Ming handed the script to Han Sanpin.

Han Sanpin immediately lowered his head and started reading.

After watching it for a while, he became more and more excited.

Just from the text description of the script, you can tell that this is a blockbuster!
Just the kind he likes best.

It can drive the domestic market, and since Gu Mingpai is so big, the foreign market must have been considered as well.

By then, China and the United States will surely be able to blossom!
Han Sanpin put the script together before he even finished reading it. "No need to read anymore?"

"Do I still doubt your script?"

"It's absolutely trustworthy."

"Tell me how much it costs." Han Sanpin looked at Gu Ming with a smile.

"It may cost 500 million U.S. dollars, and the special effects will cost about 300 million U.S. dollars. We also have to go abroad for shooting. I want to hire two or three third-tier stars from Hollywood. This is only a preliminary budget. In the end, it may not be good. More needs to be added.”

"As for the share." Gu Ming stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers.

"Our Venus invested US$500 million, accounting for 50.00% of the share."

Han Sanpin was slightly surprised by the share proposed by Gu Ming.

But it only took a moment, and I quickly figured it out.

No comments on this.

Total investment of US$500 million.

Half is 250 million.

Discounting the $500 million offered by Daystar, it can be said that Gu Ming's director's fee, screenwriter's fee, etc. totaled only $750 million.

You must know that this "Now You See Me" can also be classified as an action movie.

For this kind of film, Gu Ming's market price in Hollywood should be 1000 million US dollars. It only talks about the director's fee, not the salary of the producer and screenwriter.

Not to mention that the Daystar controller is still in charge.

Although this fee is for filming in China, it is definitely a reasonable price.

pity.

Han Sanpin, who has a big family and a big business, also has his own difficulties, so he can only laugh and shake his head.

"I probably won't be able to come up with much money."

"I invested in "The Intouchables" last time, but I still have to leave investment for Chen Kai's "The Promise". This time, I will invest less in "Now You See Me", 450%, [-] million US dollars. How about it? ?”

"no problem."

"It's up to you to vote more or less, and I'm happy if you don't vote a point."

"How could you not invest?" Han Sanpin curled his lips, "With your Gu Ming's film, you either invested in it or you made a profit? If it weren't for the lack of money and you wouldn't let it go, I would have swallowed up the remaining half of the share. Woolen cloth."

"We have to give everyone a chance to get on the bus."

Gu Ming chuckled and immediately thought of something.

"By the way, since you, Old Han, are willing to take a smaller share, it seems that the money invested by Daystar can also be reduced."

I did a quick mental calculation.

China Film Group holds [-]%, leaving another [-]% for other state-owned studios.

The remaining [-]% of the investment share can be sold.

Sold at a premium of 20.00%.

If it could all be sold, it would probably raise $700 million.

Including China Film and Western Film, the total is US$600 million.

My own director and screenwriter cost 750 million. If you throw away this 4000 million, the real cost of the movie is 750 million.

"Our Morning Star just needs to pay 150 million yuan."

Calculate like this.

Gu Ming suddenly felt that the world was infinitely wide!
It's almost equivalent to a director's salary of over [-] million, so this is appropriate.

"Hey Se, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sell it?" Han Sanpin rolled his eyes, "Basically everyone voted for "The Intouchables", they are so rich!"

"The worst case scenario is to build a crew first, let them scout locations, let the special effects company prepare the special effects, and sign up all the actors."

"The remaining investment share will wait until "The Intouchables" is released. As long as "The Intouchables" is okay at the box office, I think there will be no shortage of investors."

"Actually, it will most likely not be difficult to raise all the money before "The Intouchables" is released."

Gu Ming is still confident about his current reputation among domestic investors.

You can definitely pat your chest and say, it’s pretty good!
Like Wang Rixiang of Hong Kong Island, he has never let investors lose money.

Unlike Wang Rixiang, he can not only make investors money, but also earn fame, and the movies he has made also have a good reputation.

In terms of making money, he is better than Wang Rixiang, with at least double the profit.

These days, investments with a high probability of doubling profits are rare.

Let alone investing in movies.

When Gu Ming distributed 500% of the share to Xiying and Shanghai Film based on the total investment of [-] million.

Even if the remaining 30.00% share requires a premium of 20.00%, there are still many people who want it.

There are even people outside the film and television industry who are willing to pay a premium of 50.00%.

This is not necessary.

Gu Ming would rather use resources from the film and television industry. When the other party has a suitable project, he can also invest in it.

Besides, there are also artists. With so many artists, it’s impossible for them to only participate in Daystar’s family’s films.

Can't act.

Everyone can share what they have.

However, instead of worrying about investment, you have to worry about another thing.

Even if they are told that the total investment is 500 million US dollars, such a large investment will not make much money in the end, but it still cannot stop the film and television company bosses from wanting to invest.

They all have a large share.

In the final calculation, my dear, it adds up to 60.00%.

That's twice as much as 30.00%.

I am so eager to give money away.

Their enthusiasm.

Gu Ming immediately had a new idea.
