Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 174
Gu Ming is ready to give his actors something to look forward to.

After all, these people have basically made their mark in the television industry.

It is inevitable that you will want to enter the film industry.

But it is difficult for them to get the leading role in a movie directed by themselves. People may have other ideas after going back and forth, which is reasonable. Gu Ming cannot block anyone just because they don't want to renew their contract with the company.

It seems too unstructured.

And it affects reputation.

The best way is to give everyone hope.

Even if this hope is the carrot in front of the donkey.

But it’s better than having no hope at all, right?

Besides, it is still possible to get this hope.

In the future, Beidou Star Entertainment will release more films, and Gu Ming will find ways to add some Chinese characters.

Let them all be exposed to rain and dew!
Go to Hollywood and make money.

US knife music.

……

I learned that it was Gu Ming who called them personally.

All the actors and actresses under Daystar who had nothing to do in the capital rushed to Daystar.

Without the slightest hesitation.

After all, they might be given roles, and this is an opportunity.

The opportunity is in front of you, you must seize it!

If you can't grasp it, you may be slow in one step and slow in every step.

About two hours passed.

The assistant came to the office, "Mr. Gu, Yu Zhen is filming an anti-Japanese drama in Hengdian. Everyone is here except him."

"Well! I see."

Gu Ming glanced at the coloring game "European Universal Universalis 2" on the computer screen.

Press pause, get up and come to the conference room.

As soon as I entered, I saw Wang Baoqiang.

"Director Gu."

"Has filming of "The Blind Shaft" been completed?"

"After filming, the director has been sent to Berlin through connections."

"Yeah." Gu Ming nodded.

This kind of small thing, I don't care about everything, but it will turn into a schedule at the end of the year.

Anyway, millions of investments.

Li Xiaoping just stares.

After nodding, he looked at Wang Baoqiang grinning, showing his big white teeth in a silly smile.

Gu Ming really wanted to say something.

"The accent in Mandarin is still so strong, so you can imagine the English, so you don't need to be here."

But when the words came to his lips, he still didn't say them out.

It's too much of a blow to self-confidence.

Since everyone has been called here, let’s treat them equally.

He turned his head and looked away from the other people's faces.

Deng Chao, Qin Hao, Ling Xiaoshu, Duan Yihong, Liu Ye, Zhu Yawen.

Except for Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and Yu Zhen, these are all the actors in Daystar.

The number of people is not that large.

But Daystar pursues a strategy of valuing quality over quantity.

These people, leaving aside Zhu Yawen and Wang Baoqiang who just joined the show, and moving the others outside, are now capable of carrying a TV series on their own.

Isn’t it too much to say that half of China Entertainment’s young male actors make up the majority?
Take a deep breath.

Gu Ming started talking about business.

"I have a distribution company in the United States, everyone must know this."

"Now there's going to be a horror movie called "Human Skin Inn" there."

"The investment is not big, but I think the box office prospects are good, so I asked them to add a Chinese character to the two main characters."

"I asked you to come here to choose who will go."

"First of all, let me say that this film will definitely not be released in China. If it cannot pass the review, those who don't want to be in it will withdraw first."

No one quit.

Nonsense, does it matter whether it can be released in China?

As long as the film does well at the North American box office, fame will come.

I can also be called an international movie star in the future.

As for the audience not being able to see it, don’t be afraid. Are the pirated discs kidding you?They'll do the move.

Let alone horror movies like this, there are a lot of neon action movies that are out of control.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll start screening."

Gu Ming sat in the main seat and said calmly.

"Actually, this kind of film doesn't require much in terms of acting skills."

"I think any one of you can be accepted, so it depends on who is more suitable."

"In short, the language barrier."

"You can't go out to film and have to provide you with a translator, right? Even if your English is not standard and you can't speak with a Hollywood accent, your mouth shape must be correct when acting, right? Otherwise, the dubbing will be difficult to match."

"First introduce yourself in English."

"Come one by one." Gu Ming pointed to Wang Baoqiang at the edge.

Wang Baoqiang's smile, which was still there, suddenly disappeared.

There was only embarrassment on his face.

"English, English?"

"I, I, I don't know how."

"Come on." Gu Ming pointed at Deng Chao.

Deng Chao's eyes glazed over for a moment, then he opened his mouth and started reading.

At least I can say a few words, but the pronunciation is something I can't bear to look at. After all, he was the one who shouted "we are tired of logging" in his previous life, so his English level is so poor.

Forget it.

"Go on." After he finished reading, Gu Ming didn't comment and just let the next one come.

I listened to two more self-introductions in various accents.

Gu Ming felt his head hurt.

The entertainment industry in which I work has many "husbands" and it is well-deserved.

Of course, it cannot be said that poor English means poor cultural level, but the pronunciation of this elementary school student is not as good as that of a primary school student. If you think about your family background, each of you can afford more than 1 yuan a year in tuition.

It almost made Gu Ming wonder what he had learned in the nine years of compulsory education.

Although studying by yourself is average, who makes you the boss?

It means being able to point and point from the commanding heights.

Gu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the last word about Duan Yihong.

I can’t say it’s very good, and it doesn’t have any Hollywood accent, but at least it’s standard enough. At this level, daily communication with foreigners shouldn’t be a problem.

"Well, your English speaking skills are pretty good!"

Gu Ming looked at Duan Yihong with satisfaction, "Do you have a specialty?" "I can learn it in my free time."

Duan Yihong was modest.

But the expression on his face betrayed him. It was obvious that he was a little nervous.

In fact, ever since "Taken" became a hit in North America.

It opened his eyes to a new path.

So I have been learning English secretly.

Although it has been three years, he still has not waited for that opportunity, but he has never given up.

Today, he had a feeling that the opportunity had arrived.

"That's you."

Gu Ming knew that Duan Yihong was lying.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he has the best English among this group of people.

"Don't turn off the phone, someone will contact you."

"Go there and perform well."

"Yeah!" Duan Yihong nodded heavily.

"That's it for today."

"Everyone can go back."

"If there is a suitable role in the future, everyone will be included."

Gu Ming smiled, turned around and went out.

As for telling them to learn English well, there is no need.

I am the boss, not the teacher.

Do you like to learn or not?

Today, this matter is so clear. In the future, the films produced by my own distribution company will inevitably make some characters of Chinese descent.

The only requirement is that you must be proficient in English.

The road is so obvious, but if you still don’t walk, what else can you do?
Forcibly stipulate that its actors must learn English?
You can only respect the fate of others.

When Gu Ming went out, everyone around him gathered in front of Duan Yihong, "Congratulations, old Duan!"

"You will also be the one making money from now on."

"Please have a meal, you must have a meal."

When everyone congratulated, their eyes were full of envy.

At the same time, I also secretly decided to start learning foreign languages ​​when I returned home.

"Of course I want to invite you!"

Duan Yihong just felt like crying.

The boy who had never even eaten a mango.

Really took a chance...

Less than half a day.

Gu Ming has a new film in North America's Beidou Star Entertainment, and it has been spread in Daystar Entertainment that Duan Yihong will play the leading role.

Jin Suo came to the office immediately.

"Director Gu, are you tired?"

"Do you need me to squeeze you again?"

"Then give me some eye exercises." Gu Ming wanted to make amends for the fact that no one in North America had massages, so he closed his eyes and let Jinsuo do his tricks.

"You came to me? Is it because of the heroine of "Human Skin Inn"?"

"Yes." Jin Suo didn't hide anything, and replied with a Hollywood accent, "I have been preparing, and my English accent has not dropped. Let me act, and I will not let you down, Director Gu."

"Well, it's really good."

"Hard enough."

"However, it is difficult to say that there is any female protagonist in this film. The perspective mainly follows the two male protagonists."

"The female lead is probably not as good as the third female lead in other films."

"You'd better not act."

"If I have a chance to get you a role in the future, don't be too anxious. I always keep my word."

"Yes." Jinsuo nodded slightly, "Thank you, Director Gu!"

"Keep pressing."

"I'll go, don't click anywhere else!"

"This is the office."

"Huh?" Jin Suo withdrew his hand and asked what he just said, is this an office?Could it be that you can just click blindly when you're not in the office?
……

Let Jinsuo press it.

It's almost 05:30 this time.

In a little while, it will be dark.

Gu Ming left Jinsuo first, and he returned home.

After eating, I started to worry about the situation at Beidou Star Entertainment.

One "Hotel" and one "Saw", the most I can do is make one more.

Only three films.

Oh, you can also get producer Doug Liman, who has worked with "The Bourne Supremacy" before, to direct a "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and film the script from the script library?

But the key to the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is the big cheeks and the big mouth, as well as the love-hate relationship between America's sweetheart Jennifer Aniston.

It has to have those two leading actors, otherwise it may not be effective, so it depends on their schedules, and it might not be released until next year.

In the end it was still three films.

Although Beidou Star Entertainment can't be too pretentious, it's hard to distribute these three movies a year!
The theater chain doesn’t give you much face either.

Fortunately, there are still people here waiting to make some money.

He also agreed to Jin Suo and give her a role.

Then think of two more films.

Make up five.

Horror movies are definitely no longer considered. There are already two movies. One more movie. The Halloween schedule will be full of movies, and the three movies will easily affect each other's box office.

I have to consider other movies in other schedules.

Tenderness heals a little bit.

"The Fault in Our Stars."

Well, it seems to be a novel.

Gu Ming immediately got on the computer and looked at it. The original work had not been written yet.

That's you.

but……

It is definitely impossible for the heroine to be given to Jin Suo, who has only played a small supporting role in Hollywood.

The appearance is not suitable, the identity is not suitable, a man and a woman's one-man show type film is still the first to be released in North America, and for the sake of money, you have to endure it first.

If she plays the second female lead, her age is inappropriate.

Forget it, let Beidou Star find someone else to film this one and think of another one.

It would be better if this movie had more of an ensemble cast, or the gimmicks weren't focused on the two protagonists, so that a Chinese female lead wouldn't be too out of the ordinary. It would be better if it could be turned into a series, so you don't have to worry about it later.

Is there such a video that I can copy?
