Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 190 Helping People Is the Root of Happiness

"Ah, this..."

Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a moment.

All she could do was hug her daughter's head, not only to comfort Liu Yifei, but also to comfort herself, "Mom, it's for your own good."

"Who knew the world would change so fast."

"It's because Mom didn't keep up with the times and made a mistake."

After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoli looked out the car window.

If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake.

It was just a mistake.

As long as we follow the right path in the future, this mistake may be a blessing or a curse.

As for whether she can take the right path in the future, she still has confidence in her vision.

With her own guidance, her daughter's life path will be smooth.

……

Some people in the country are happy and some are sad.

Gu Ming could only feel happy.

The situation is not a good one, it is a great one!
Next Monday, May 5th.

That’s when another unlucky guy, the big-budget “Troy,” was released.

Again, Brad Pitt doesn't resist the box office.

In addition to this kind of epic film, except for "Gladiator" and "The Lord of the Rings" which should be regarded as a fantasy film, there are not many big hits at all.

After its release, "Troy" received a very average reputation among audiences.

So even with its impact, "Now You See Me" still grossed $300 million at the box office the following Monday.

The drop is about 40.00%, which is a very healthy drop. Most movies will drop in the next week.

After all, there are only a few films like "Titanic" that rise over time and maintain their popularity for a long time.

As the box office data for Monday of the following week was released, relevant media also released their final box office estimate for "Now You See Me", which is US$1.3 million!
It certainly can't be compared to "The Intouchables".

But considering that the main characters are all Chinese, this number is already quite good.

It is a good proof of Gu Ming's ability to praise people.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

"Saw" was played in a thousand theaters, and the box office did not drop at all on Monday, but actually increased a bit.

After all, North American horror films have a fixed group.

"Saw" has gained a lot of reputation and attracted many horror film fans.

Coupled with the increase in screening venues.

It took in $30 million at the box office on Monday.

For Gu Ming, this is even more gratifying than "Now You See Me" breaking [-] million.

We can make a series of ten movies!
It is still a hot commodity in the disc market.

You know, this was released by Daystar itself.

It is simply a gold mine waiting to be discovered.

On this day, Gu Ming always had a smile on his face. He didn't sleep, and he and Anthony got on the flight to France that night.

Anthony is also going to Cannes.

Not only that, this guy also insisted on sitting with Gu Ming.

As soon as he sat down, he excitedly chatted with Gu Ming.

"Gu, your eyes are really amazing. "Van Helsing" and "Troy" look like they are going to fail."

"When I take the position of the boss of Sony Columbia Pictures, I will have to ask you for advice before I go to a big production in the future."

"If you say this project can't be done, we won't do it."

"Human! You can't even believe that there are geniuses in this world!"

"I'm very expensive." Sony Columbia's future movies have nothing to do with him, and Gu Ming will not work for nothing.

"I'll give you a salary of several million and give you a producer."

"That's another price."

Gu Ming curled his lips and was speechless.

It’s only your own free time to have sex with others, and you actually want to have free sex from me?

Hang the producer.

That's just to consume my fame, okay?

The fame I accumulated bit by bit, one movie after another!

Gotta pay more!
"Don't worry, will I let you suffer in our relationship?"

"Okay, I believe you, but "Now You See Me" is still in theaters. What are you going to Cannes for this time? Do you want to buy a movie?"

"Buy your film." Anthony winked, "As long as it's a film produced by you, I'm interested!"

"Of course, let's see if there are any other valuable films and buy them for distribution."

"It is still necessary to discover new people."

"If I hadn't gone to the top three universities often, would I have met a genius like you?"

"Okay, rest."

Gu Ming adjusted his seat, closed his eyes and rested.

Los Angeles to France.

It flew almost halfway to the earth.

Ten hours later.

Gu Mingcai came to France.

Turned around and got off the car.

When it comes to booking a hotel.

Gu Changwei, his wife and "Peacock" heroine Zhang Jingchu were waiting for him at the door.

"Hahaha, you are finally here!"

"As soon as you came here, I felt confident that I would definitely win the prize this time!"

Gu Changwei smiled and came over and gave Gu Ming a hug.

"I heard that your "Now You See Me" sold very well in North America!"

"congratulations!"

"What are you congratulating for? When "Rescue 3" is released, won't you also be able to get over [-] million in North American box office?" Gu Ming said.

"Hey, I'm just a tool, so I still have to rely on you." Gu Changwei smiled and let go of Gu Ming.

"Hello, Director Gu."

Zhang Jing raised her arms slightly when she heard "Hurricane Rescue 3", wanting to give her a hug like Gu Changwei did.

But the people in public here still don’t have the courage.

Then he shook hands with Gu Ming and said, "Director Gu, I heard from the director that you were the one who chose me among so many actors to star in "Peacock". Thank you very much."

"Hey, you're welcome, that's because you fit the role better."

Gu Ming nodded, and when he retracted his hand, he felt his palm being scratched twice.

He looked at the other person's eyes.

Gu Ming, who had experienced many battles, understood immediately.

This is my identity.Who allows himself to be the director?

For the woman in front of me.

Having this identity is so attractive!

Facts have proved that this is indeed the case.

That night, not long after checking into the hotel, there was a gentle knock on Gu Ming's door.

I just want to ask you something.

Of course Gu Ming would be embarrassed to reject people thousands of miles away!
How can you have the nerve to block other people's path to progress?

People also want to make progress!
Anyway, it’s just a piece of cake for me.

Help if you can.

Helping others is the foundation of happiness.

Gu Ming feels happy every time he helps others.

After helping, I will not only help you this time, but also care more.

"I'll ask Lao Gu to arrange a role for you in "Rescue 3"."

"Thank you."

"Don't be so outspoken. By the way, are you interested in coming to Daystar?"

Zhou Xun has already gained momentum and is not suitable for acting in any low-budget movies.

Li Bingbing, Jin Suo, especially Jin Suo, whose face is not suitable for acting in artistic films, should just act in commercial films honestly, and stop thinking about becoming a movie queen every day.

On the contrary, the person next to me is quite suitable.

The films in his previous life can also prove that he is quite talented in acting.

Daystar has her place.

"Yes!" Zhang Jingchu clenched her fists, "But it's in my company."

"Is this something you should be worried about?"

The company is easy to solve. Now Zhang Jing can only say that he has just started to show some signs, and he will give their company some film investment or something, and the other party will happily offer it with both hands.

It won't hurt your temper at all.

"Thank you, Director Gu. I think I still need your help. Please help me a few more times..."

"Okay, why am I such a warm-hearted person?"

……

The next day.

Gu Ming went to Gu Changwei's screening venue to support him.

I also made an appointment with many friends to watch "Peacock" together and then chatted for a while.

The first day was spent in such a boring life.

Starting from the next day, Gu Ming simply spent half the time supporting the show and the other half letting Zhang Jingchu accompany him to the movies.

Let’s look at the main competition unit first.

No do not say.

There are quite a lot of well-known films at Cannes this year.

There are even more Asian filmmakers.

If you want to support them, naturally you should be the first to support them.

"Oldboy" by South Korea's Park Chan-wook.

The neon Kore-eda Hirokazu's "Nobody Knows" is still his consistent tone, family, family love and other things. After reading it, you will feel an inexplicable sadness lingering in your heart.

In addition to these two movies, there is also a French movie that has something to do with Chinese filmmakers.

It's called "Clean".

It was taken by Zhang Manyu's soon-to-be-divorced husband.

She plays the heroine in it, a single mother whose husband has died and her son is estranged from her.

The performance there is nothing short of awesome!

Really worthy of being a God.

Gu Ming couldn't help but clapped his hands.

After the film ended, I walked up to him and had a chat, "Excellent performance. I hope we can work together again if we have a chance in the future."

"what……"

The disappointment flashed across Zhang Manyu's eyes.

Shaking his head gently.

"Thank you, Director Gu, but I'm ready to take a break."

"This 'Clean' may be my last work."

"Oh, that's it!" The other person has indeed passed away in his previous life. He can only make a cameo appearance, which means that he can't persuade him to stay.

Gu Ming could only express his regret, "I feel that if you can win the Best Actress Award at Cannes and immediately stop acting after winning the Best Actress Award, it will make the movie fans feel regretful."

"Director Gu, are you kidding me? It's not that easy to be an actress."

"Then make a bet? Once you become a movie queen, you will never stop acting?"

"No need." Maggie Cheung smiled and shook her head.

Seeing how determined he was, Gu Ming stopped trying again.

I just looked back before leaving.

The only Chinese-speaking filmmaker who has won two and three Best Actress Awards is about to quit like this.

I watched three movies, and all three were heart-wrenching movies that made me unhappy.

Gu Ming decided to have some fun for himself.

After looking at the list of movies shown, I ended up going to see two movies.

One is called "Fahrenheit 9/11."

After reading it, Zhang Jing was greatly shocked, "Are the photos taken here real? The person who sent the plane and the one from the United States now..."

At this point, Zhang Jingchu couldn't say any more, "They really dared to take pictures."

"Maybe he will be re-elected."

"Wouldn't it attract hatred by doing something so big?"

"What's the point of attracting hatred? Maybe we can win the Palme d'Or." Gu Ming said.

"impossible?"

"Do you think I'm joking?"

"Hey, don't worry about this, I'll take you to see something nice for the last time!"

This is a film that did not enter the main competition.

But the reputation is not low.

It highlights a person who is bold and dares to shoot. It is about to be made into a neon action movie.

The heroines in it are all played by professional workers.

Nothing.

There are also close-ups in the movie, more than once.

And the two actors have to do it with real swords and guns.

Professional actresses can accept exposure and dedicate themselves to their art.But who can accept this?
