Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 173 What do you want to do

What films has China Film recently invested in?
"The Promise".

"Don't come over!" (Bu Jingyun's face.)
"What's wrong?" Han Sanpin saw Gu Ming's embarrassment.

It's all written on his face.

In fact, this is not because Gu Ming lacks self-cultivation.

Gu Ming really gets a headache just thinking about "The Promise".

Han Sanpin also wanted his company, Big Dipper Entertainment, to distribute the film in North America for him.

How to publish it?
Unless you give yourself the film for free.

No!

Even if it’s free, you might lose money.

Is there no charge for copying?Posters don’t cost money?
It will also offend the theater chain invisibly, so you just show this kind of film in our theaters?It affects us selling Coca-Cola popcorn, you know?Next time your company releases a film, reduce the number of films.

It means losing both fame and fortune.

"Lao Gu?" Seeing that Gu Ming was distracted, Han Sanpin called out.

"Oh." Gu Ming retracted his attention, "I'll tell the truth."

"North American distribution, I can help."

"But we have to analyze each film in detail, and we can't be general. It's unrealistic for any film to be opened in more than 2000 theaters like "Hero"."

"Of course." Han Sanpin nodded slightly, "I feel bad about making you lose money. We are mutually beneficial and making money together."

"That's good."

"Also, don't make it too obvious by handing over the film to us for distribution."

“I think it’s better to invite all North American publishers to bid together and see who pays the highest price.”

"Respect the market."

"If I didn't even bid, I would just cover all the domestic films, and I would be easily targeted in North America." Gu Ming said very grandly.

In fact, it is because since "Hero", except for Li Lianli and Jackie Chan's movies, and at most Zhou Xingxing's "Kung Fu", it is difficult for other movies to even reach 1000 million box office in North America.

Can't make any money!
Instead of pushing hard, it would be better to train the crew first and develop a few familiar stars along the way.

It will be much easier no matter what you do then.

"it is good."

Han Sanpin didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Ming's words.

With the release of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Heroes.

There will definitely be many companies turning their attention to Chinese costume martial arts films.

If it were given directly to Big Dipper, everyone would definitely feel that there was a shady secret, and hatred would be necessary.

Han Sanpin also hoped that Gu Ming could nail the North American market like a nail.

But don’t let others sit down and cook you in a pot before your butt is warmed up.

Develop secretly first.

No choice, he also knew that there was no confidence to support Gu Ming here.

The annual box office is about [-] billion, just over [-] million US dollars.

Hollywood films can get a 15.00% share. Even if the entire box office is contributed by Hollywood films, the box office revenue is less than 2000 million US dollars.

Income from discs, not to mention peripheral products, etc. If you can get it, you will be considered awesome.

Gu Ming easily earned these profits from North America. You have made more, can you find a way to squeeze you out?
"Sigh, I don't know if we have a chance to surpass Neon and become the second largest ticket store in the world!"

"When those big North American companies try to stymie you, you will have to consider whether their movies still want to win box office in China."

"I think it won't take long." Gu Ming smiled and took a sip of tea. "Maybe it can surpass North America and become the world's largest ticket warehouse."

"Ouch!"

Han Sanpin, who had just picked up the tea cup, shook his hand and almost dropped the cup.

Hold the cup in both hands and place it on the table.

A helpless smile appeared on Han Sanpin's face.

"Stop teasing me."

"It also ranks first in ticket sales in the world."

"Do you know the difference?"

"The total box office revenue in North America last year was 94 billion, which was nearly a hundred times ours!"

"Hey, you're still young. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you in this lifetime."

"Old Han, you are still young, you have to have some confidence in yourself!"

Gu Ming knew very well that he could actually see that day.

Although the current total box office is low, the potential is huge!

17 years later, in 2020, wouldn’t it have directly surpassed North America and become the world’s largest vote bank?
Otherwise, why do you think the special editions and more and more blockbusters include Chinese and Chinese elements?
Leisurely panic?
"Stop comforting me. If you really want to comfort me, just promise me something and do me a favor."

"what's up?"

"Promise first."

"Say it first, don't talk about knocking me down." Gu Ming would not fall into the trap.

"Hehe, there's really nothing I can do about you." Han Sanpin smiled.

"It's like this. There's news from above that private theater chains will be allowed to be established in February. Do you have any ideas?"

"Build it when the time comes!"

Gu Ming made a promise directly.

Cinema lines are something that you must get yourself.

Otherwise, it is easy to be controlled by others.

No matter how great the movie is, there still has to be a place where the audience can pay to see it!

How Hua Yi was tortured by Wanda in his previous life.

Movies are a commodity where channels are king.

Besides, a cinema with seven halls would have to recruit twenty or thirty people, right?
Like Wanda, it will slowly open thousands of theaters, and by then the number of employees alone will be tens of thousands.

what is this?
It's a talisman!
"Okay!" Han Sanpin slapped the table.

"If you want to join a theater chain, you can first find our theater chain under China Film Group. When you have enough theaters, you can then become independent and form your Daystar Cinema Line."

"no problem."

……

After enjoying a few days of leisurely life.

Gu Ming left the courtyard in the name of working at Daystar.

Of course, it is impossible to work this month.

Only by cultivating the land can we maintain this kind of life.

After leaving the courtyard, Gu Ming turned a corner and arrived at Gao Yuanyuan's residence.

He didn't ring the doorbell either, and knocked on the door "bang bang bang bang".

"Who?"

"Anti-pornography."

After a burst of hurried footsteps, the door opened.Gao Yuanyuan stared at Gu Ming with a pair of big eyes and smiled, "Are you scanning yourself?"

"Yup!"

Gu Ming rushed in and closed the door.

The strong wind swept away the fallen leaves, and the rain smashed the banana trees.

Beat bananas again.

Hit again.

"Huh..." With a long sigh of relief, Gu Ming entered the sage state.

Then, she heard Gao Yuanyuan ask a question in her ear that she shouldn't care about, "When will you marry her?"

"what happened?"

Gu Ming turned his face and glanced at Gao Yuanyuan.

"Are you teaching me to do things?"

"When exactly? I'm holding your hand." Gao Yuanyuan showed a wicked smile on his face.

"I have no idea yet."

"28? 29? Thirty?"

"Just these three ages." Gu Ming smacked his lips and asked tentatively, "Why do you care about this?"

Whenever she said she wanted to grab the wedding spot.

Then Gu Ming will run away like a gangster.

One was together before becoming a director, and the other was together after becoming a director.

Gu Ming has a clear idea of ​​who to choose.

Don't even think about trying to get pregnant and forcing an uterus.

Do not accept threats.

Even if they can't bear it and want to leave, they won't want anyone to play tricks on me again.

"Just ask..."

"What bad intentions can I have?"

"Don't worry about me not being willing to accept it. If I am not willing to accept it, I will tell you in advance."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this matter, so as not to worry you too much."

Gao Yuanyuan rested his head on Gu Ming's shoulder.

"Your films have produced a top three best actor and a top three best actress."

"The producer's "Tuya's Marriage" also produced a best actress."

"When can I become a Best Actress?"

"If you can't get the top three, the three golds will count."

"Yuanyuan, let's talk about what happened just now..."

……

2004 1 Month 1 Day.

New year and a new look.

Enough rest.

Only then did Gu Ming arrive at Daystar's office again.

however.

Gu Ming obviously underestimated the resilience of those reporters.

Just got out of the car.

There were more than a dozen people running towards Gu Ming with faces full of surprise.

You can even hear the mutterings of the two people inside.

"After half a month of squatting, I finally found someone."

"Stop him, don't let him run away."

“If I can’t get an interview this time, I don’t know when the next one will be.”

a few seconds.

These people gathered in front of Gu Ming.

With long spears and short cannons, he advanced in front of Gu Ming.

"Director Gu, you are ranked sixth on the new Forbes rich list. Is there anything you want to say?"

"Did you ever think that you would have such a high ranking?"

"How did you choose Wangyi and Penguin to invest? Can you share your investment secrets?"

"..."

Questions were thrown out one after another like a barrage.

These reporters seemed eager to ask all the questions they had been holding back for the past half month.

"It's too messy, come one by one!"

Gu Ming kept smiling, "I never thought about this ranking before, because I am not very interested in asset rankings or anything like that. You should know that most of my energy is invested in my favorite movies."

“As for investing tips.”

"I think the Internet will be the future, and it must be the future."

"Can you give me some investment advice?" the reporter asked.

"No advice."

The three words Internet are enough.

It is relatively easy to buy stocks by focusing on domestic Internet unicorns, diversify your investments, and finally make money.

As for talking about which one to buy, I can't do that.

Stocks will fluctuate.

Whichever one you ask everyone to buy, the final result is that when the stock price rises, it’s my ability, but when the stock price falls, it’s Gu Ming’s recommendation and I should lose money!

thankless.

"So Director Gu, do you think it's possible for you to surpass Ding Sanshi and become the richest man in the country?"

"I said, I don't care too much about rankings. I just want to make my movies well and be my director well."

"You should ask me whether I have confidence in the next film and how much box office the next film will have."

"Okay, I have to go in and work. I'll be interviewed when I have time."

Gu Ming didn't want too many people to pay attention to how much money he had.

It's not easy to get limelight.

So, a simple answer is enough.

After answering, Gu Ming immediately glanced at the bodyguards next to him, left the reporters under their protection, and walked into the building where Venus was located.

Sitting back in his familiar office, Gu Ming calmed down and called his assistant over, "Except for Chen Kun and Huang Xiaoming, all the remaining actors who are not filming for the time being will call me to the conference room."
