Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 175 Let’s dance first
By the way, it’s best not to cost too much.

After all, I want Jin Suo to be the heroine. Who knows if North American audiences will accept a Chinese heroine.

The lower the cost, the less pressure to repay the capital.

Even if you fail in the end, you can bear it without feeling distressed.

"I go……"

Is there such a film?
Gu Ming dug it out in his mind.

In the end, Gu Ming actually found one.

"Dance My Life".

The cost was not high, but in the previous life, five films were made in one shot.

Just think of "Break Dance" from the 80s.

There has always been a market for this kind of teen musicals in Hollywood.

And the main attraction is the dance inside.

Most of the selling points are on the male protagonist, so having Jin Suo as the female protagonist should have little impact.

The only thing to consider is, can golden locks dance?

I haven't seen it very often.

But this is not a problem for Gu Ming.

After arriving at Daystar the next day, Gu Ming called Jinsuo, "Can you dance?"

"what?"

Jin Suo was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it might be related to the new film.

Immediately the other end of the phone nodded wildly.

"Yes! I have learned it since I was a child."

"And my mom is a dancer."

"Really? I don't believe it. Dress tighter and come here and dance for me." Gu Ming still believed that seeing is believing.

Moreover.

For this kind of musical, the actors have to be of similar stature.

The slightly plump figure of Jin Suo in his previous life was immediately passed on.

Gu Ming had to review it himself, as he was responsible for the film.

"Oh, there are really fewer and fewer bosses like me. In order to work, I have to personally check the actors' dancing."

"Others only appreciate it in their leisure time, and they don't have such utilitarianism at all."

"Speaking of which, do I also have to have a song and dance troupe? Daystar Song and Dance Troupe?"

"Hey! Forget it, forget it."

Thinking of the fate of the man who raised a song and dance troupe.

Gu Ming decided to stay away from this kind of operation to avoid bad luck.

……

I do not know how long it has been.

There was a knock on the door outside the office, followed by the sound of a golden lock, "Director Gu."

"come in."

The door opened and Jinsuo turned his head, wearing a black down jacket that reached to his knees.

As soon as I came in, I threw away the black down jacket.

The inside is also all black, very slim-fitting.

Forehead?
Gu Ming's eyes lit up.

Maybe it’s because I’m still young.

After all, only 23 years old.

At this moment, Jinsuo was much thinner than he remembered.

"Well, it would be better to lose another five or six pounds. Let's start dancing."

"Okay." Jinsuo didn't hesitate and started to adjust immediately.

The dance is folk dance.

But it remains the same.

You can still see the flexibility and other conditions of Jin Suo's body through those movements.

After watching it for a few minutes, Gu Ming stopped.

"Find a ballet teacher and practice for three or four months."

"Don't worry too much about supporting your body with your toes. The main thing is to practice the movements proficiently."

"Is there a problem?"

"No problem, it's just that you are guiding me to practice these?" Jin Suo had some vague guesses, but without getting a definite message, she felt that she might not be able to sleep well next.

I could only muster up the courage to ask, "New movie?"

"Don't you want a role in Hollywood?"

"I have an idea. It will cost about tens of millions of dollars and will be produced by Beidou Star this year."

"If your dancing is up to standard, then you will be the heroine."

"Thank you, Director Gu!"

Jinsuo quickly bowed, "I will practice ballet well."

"Well, practice hard and don't slack off."

"Okay, by the way, Director Gu, the dance just now is not over yet. Do you want me to dance for a while?" Jin Suo blinked at Gu Ming with a pair of charming eyes.

Which boss can withstand this!
It just so happens that I have nothing to do today, so watching the dance can be considered as a way to cultivate my mood.

But I didn’t expect it to be.

Just halfway through, there was another knock on the door.

This time it’s Li Xiaoping.

"Okay, let's go back and practice hard." Gu Ming interrupted Jin Suo's dance and asked her to open the door for Li Xiaoping.

"Mr. Gu, am I here at the right time?" Li Xiaoping asked with a smile on her face.

"No, you came just in time."

"Let's talk about it, what's the matter?"

"Sony Columbia paid the payment for "Heroes". Based on 30.00% of the North American box office, it totaled more than [-] million US dollars."

"I know, just go and share it with the investors."

"By the way, let's not talk about the U.S. dollars in offshore companies, and then throw out the money that needs to be invested, how much cash flow can be used in Daystar's account?"

"Mr. Gu, are you going to build a headquarters building?" Li Xiaoping clenched her fists excitedly. "I have already inquired with the relevant departments."

"Because we can regularly earn foreign exchange and export culture to foreign countries, if we build a headquarters building, we can get a piece of land cheaply and find someone to build it ourselves."

"It won't cost much if we take out a loan or something."

"When Daystar can no longer live in it, it can still be rented out to other companies to collect rent. The Olympic Games will be held in Beijing in 08. Real estate here in Beijing will definitely be a profitable investment."

"Look at Hong Kong Island and then look at Neon. They are all in the same cultural circle. Housing prices have risen rapidly after development!"

"If you miss this village, there won't be this store! Mr. Gu."

"First tell me how much money is in the account." Gu Ming emphasized again.

"Two hundred million." Li Xiaoping stopped talking about buying land and building buildings and answered the question honestly.

"Although I bought a music company and Qidian Chinese website, I donated more than 1000 million last time."

"But as the box office share is gradually received, and the advertising fees for TV series can be collected every time, our dramas are all hits, and the replay rate is relatively high. In addition, you have let go of our An artist’s acupuncture activity.”

"Money, more and more."

"There are too many to spend."

"That's why I want to buy a property."

“If you don’t spend it, it will be wiped out by inflation.”

"Don't worry, it will be spent soon." Gu Ming made a motion of pressing down his palm.

"Now you go recruit some theater talents."

"Private cinemas will be allowed in February, and we at Daystar must join in."

"Also, don't you like the real estate industry?"

"We need to buy all our theaters, or build them ourselves, and don't rent them out."

"Keep the cinema firmly in your hands."

"In addition, multiplex cinemas with six to ten halls will be built."

"Okay!" Li Xiaoping wanted to build a building. In fact, she felt that the money would not be spent and she was flustered.

After Gu Ming gave him some directions.

She suddenly felt that she had a greater challenge.

Feeling ambitious for a moment, he nodded solemnly and left.

The rest of the time was uneventful.

Gu Ming took advantage of this time to write the script.

"The Fault in Our Stars" was okay, I just wrote the script.

In the case of "Dance My Life", the script is not the most important thing, the key is the choreography and music.

Gu Ming searches for memories.

We also hired professional dancers and asked them to dance roughly according to their memory.

A video was also recorded.

When the time comes, just let the script be adjusted according to the video.

Do it all.

It's almost the New Year's Eve.

Gu Ming returned to his hometown to make peace.

……

This year Daystar also has a film to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival.

"Blind Well".

One year later than in the previous life.

But Gu Ming was really too lazy to move. In addition, Li Yang was originally working in the Berlin Film Festival, so he didn't need to do anything on his own, so he sent a person from Daystar to go with Li Yang.

Finally, "The Blind Shaft" won a Silver Bear Award for Artistic Contribution.

The copyright was sold for more than 200 million US dollars.

Even if the cost is discarded, Gu Ming can make a net profit of more than 1000 million soft girl coins.

For the sake of more than 1000 million.

Gu Ming, who happened to have returned to the capital from Chang'an, set a table for Li Yang when he returned.

Let it catch the wind and wash away the dust.

"Congratulations! Director Li."

"Don't congratulate me." Li Yang smiled bitterly, "I've already received a call. I'm banned from directing for three years."

"No way, no one can change this kind of thing." Gu Ming shrugged, "It's okay if I don't win the award, but it's not okay if I win the award."

"Just enjoy life from now on."

"I can only enjoy life." Li Yang shook his head, "To be honest, I don't understand. It's obviously something that happened in reality. You can write a novel, but why can't I film it?"

"Even if it's true, can you film it?" Gu Ming made a small joke, and then said, "The audience is different. Can you expect to learn that kind of crime modus operandi? People who go to the coal mine to watch "Shenmu" "That kind of novel?"

"But more people watch the movie, and even illiterate people can understand it."

"It's very likely that it will have a bad impact."

"For example, copycat crimes."

"Okay, you've won the award and made money, so don't say anything more." Gu Ming patted Li Yang on the arm.

"Go and experience life, think about your next film, and try to sharpen your sword in three years to make a better film."

"This is the only way. I just took the opportunity to investigate some things. Regarding the next film, I have already thought about what I want to shoot." Li Yang paused, "This film is definitely not afraid of people imitating crimes. What it can do must be recidivist."

"Abduction?"

"How did you know?"

Li Yang glanced at Gu Ming in surprise, but did not continue to ask. He nodded silently, "Yes, my next film is going to be about abduction. To be more specific, about abducted women."

"A promising college student was abducted by human traffickers and taken to a village deep in the mountains."

"I couldn't escape, so I was forced to give birth to a child."

"Most of the women in that village were trafficked."

"There was also a woman who had obviously been rescued, but she went back because of her child."

"The local police went to rescue people, but they were attacked by villagers. If you take people away, you can't leave. You can't shoot, right?"

"If you want to achieve justice, you have to pay attention to methods."

"It can show both the cruel side and the humanity."

"Speaking of which, I've even thought of a title for this movie..."
