Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 200 What a big battle

The advance screening and the box office on the second day actually exceeded 500 million!

Reached 510 million!

The subsequent box office is getting higher and higher due to the explosive reputation on the Internet and the fact that the producer is Gu Ming.

620 million!
700 million!
After entering the working day, it has dropped a lot, but it is still more than 300 million!

By the second Friday, yesterday’s box office results were released.

The total box office of "Crazy Stone" in one week actually reached 3000 million!
It doesn't look like much.

Moreover, "House of Flying Daggers" is about to be released, and a gun version of "Crazy Stone" has appeared online, so a big box office decline is foreseeable.

But you must know that if this number were compared to last year, including Hollywood movies, it would have firmly entered the top ten domestic box office rankings.

For a time, the entire film industry, including bosses, directors, and actors, was in a sensation.

Who is Ning Hao?
Whose general is this?So brave!
Take another look, producer Gu Ming.

"Oh……"

"No wonder."

Everyone was still surprised that Ning Hao could make such a blockbuster and unique film, but they weren't that shocked anymore.

With Gu Ming sitting in the battle, it shouldn't be taken for granted. It's not surprising.

After all, it can earn global box office hits and turn mainland stars into global movie stars.

Gu Changwei was able to become a major commercial director by filming "Rescue 2".

Isn’t this a routine operation to promote a director again?
Of course, some people will realize something is wrong.

It's different from "Taken 2".

"Crazy Stone" couldn't have been more expensive to make.

If it costs 400 million, it is impossible for Gu Ming to keep an eye on this movie.

It is very likely that it is Ning Hao’s ability!
Many companies that want to make movies have inquired about it, hoping to recruit Ning Hao to the company and let him become what Feng Pants is to Huayi.

But after learning that Daystar had signed a contract with him, everything stopped.

In terms of salary and future development, they simply can't compete with Venus for people.

There are also people who do not have the purpose of poaching people.

For example, Han Sanpin.

The first thing I did after hearing that "Crazy Stone" broke 3000 million yuan was to find Gu Ming.

He asked with a smile.

"As a producer, how much effort did you put into the filming and preparation of "Crazy Stone"?"

"I just read the script."

"I just modified a few things, and the rest was all handed over to Ning Hao, who took the lead."

"Really?" Han Sanpin's eyes were shining.

"Why did I lie to you?" Gu Ming smiled, "For a commercial film with a cost of more than 300 million, I have to step by step to select the actors for him. How can I teach him how to shoot?"

"At least a zero must be added, and the currency unit must be converted into US dollars. Then I might consider it."

"Otherwise, such a big stall would exhaust me to death."

"By the way, why are you asking?"

"You're not trying to poach people, are you?"

"Why don't we get to know each other better?" The smile on Han Sanpin's face couldn't stop.

"Then if I want to dig it up, are you willing to give up your love?"

"I don't want to."

"That's fine." Han Sanpin laughed.

"I just want to make sure that there is another director in our country who can sell box office."

"Now that I hear what you say, I can finally feel happy."

"The box office is now 3000 million, but it will eventually reach 5000 million. This is my first time making a commercial film, and I am using actors who are not well-known."

"The future is boundless, the future is boundless!"

After drinking a cup of tea with a smile, Han Sanpin shook his head and became melancholy, "I really hope that there will be more and more commercial film directors in our country!"

"When will the box office of Hollywood movies be reduced to less than [-]% of the total box office?"

"I can relax a little bit."

"Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Accompanied by Liu Yan's voice.

"Mr. Gu, Director Zhang Yimou is here."

"please come in."

"Yimou is here!" Han Sanpin greeted with a smile.

"Mr. Han is here too!" Zhang Yimou took out two invitations, "I have already given them to you, Mr. Han, and this is for Gu Ming."

"Thank you."

Gu Ming took the invitation and took a look at it.

"House of Flying Daggers" premiere.

If Zhang Weiping or Zhang Weiping arranged for someone else to send this invitation, then Gu Ming really wouldn't have much thought to attend. The reason is simple: he is too lazy to go.

But it was sent by Zhang Yimou himself.

Even if he doesn’t look at the monk’s face and looks at the Buddha’s face, Gu Ming will not refuse, “I promise to make it tonight!”

……

The premiere of "House of Flying Daggers" was held in a stadium like "Now You See Me".

It is also the famous Gongti in Beijing.

But maybe it's because "Hero" is dominated by Daystar.

And "House of Flying Daggers" is dominated by new scenes. Zhang Weiping finally felt like turning over, and the premiere was very luxurious.

There was a huge poster posted at the entrance, with Andy Lau, the International Seal, and Kim Seung-oh's appearance from the film printed on it, and underneath it was written something about simultaneous release in China and the United States.

"Synchronized release..."

Yan Danchen muttered, "What a big battle!"

"Ha ha."

Gu Ming smiled and said nothing.

The more you show your face now, the more you show your eyes in the future.

The box office did not break the record of "Hero", and its reputation was not as good as "Hero".

The North American box office was only over 1000 million US dollars.It can be said that how high-spirited Zhang Weiping is now, she will be very embarrassed when the time comes.

"Do you think this movie won't be a big hit?" Yan Danchen and Gu Ming have been together for eight years. They know the person around them so well that they immediately realized the meaning of this laughter.

"The domestic box office should be okay."

"But in North America, there is a lack of celebrities with charisma."

"International Chapter..." Yan Danchen said.

"Actresses are not born to carry the box office, let alone her. She has Mao's appeal in North America! That is to say, when domestic press releases are released, you can brag like this. Not many viewers will go to the cinema for an international chapter. "

"Okay, you'll know when the time comes."

Gu Ming held Yan Danchen's hand without even showing the invitation.

I just brushed my face and walked in.

There were also dedicated staff members who brought the two of them to their seats to prevent Gu Ming from sitting in the wrong seat.

Who gets whose seat is very important in the circle.

is a status symbol.

It doesn't matter if the famous one sits next to the less famous one, it's just humility.

But if you don't reach that position and sit in someone else's seat, it's okay if others don't care. If they do, you'll be doomed.

Even if the other person doesn't care, others will think you are ignorant when they see you.

As for personally secretly changing the signs on the seats.

It’s just...

Don't know how to evaluate it.

It can be said to be quite tasteless.

"Sit down." After sitting down with Yan Danchen, Gu Ming hardly moved his buttocks.

After all, it's not my own film, so I don't need to be on stage.

Just watch it below.

As for someone saying hello, there was no one present who needed to get up and say hello.

Soon, the movie started.

After watching for a while, even Yan Danchen frowned.

"I feel like there's something wrong!"

"You feel right."

The picture and colors are always good.

The plot is still as nonsense as ever.

The plot of "Heroes" is enough to make people want to complain about it.

This one can't even compare to "Heroes".

If "Hero" is a movie with first-class actors, first-class martial arts, first-class art, first-class camera, second-rate director and third-rate screenwriter.

This movie has first-rate art and photography, second-rate director, third-rate director and fourth-rate screenwriter.

The battle in the sea of ​​flowers was shot very well.

But it can't cover up the mediocrity of the plot and the bloody love triangle.

If it had been filmed by an ordinary director, then everyone would think that the director was quite good and the screenwriter was a bit lame.

But the person who photographed it was Zhang Yimou.

This is unacceptable.

But fortunately, if you accept it more, you will have antibodies.

After all, he was someone who had watched "Three Guns" and "The Great Wall" in his previous life, and Gu Ming was very calm about this.

Even against his will he could say, "Nice shot."

"Especially the battle in the sea of ​​flowers, it's so beautiful."

"Thank you." Zhang Yimou was relatively modest.

Zhang Weiping was more exaggerated. In the face of everyone's congratulations, her final words in the interview were "I will break the record of "Heroes" and try to surpass "Titanic"."

The next day, I saw this guy boasting such a big deal on the Internet.

Gu Ming was worried that a reporter would interview him and ask him what he thought of "House of Flying Daggers" and how he would make it up then.

He simply told Li Bingbing to stay in shape and practice more leg presses and so on. He would give her a role in "Kingsman: The Secret Service" and left the capital.

Come to Los Angeles.

He happened to have some money in his hand and left 1000 million US dollars as money to buy a villa. Gu Ming looked at the stock price in his wallet (Wangyi) again.

Ok?
Gu Ming was shocked.

Am I reading this wrong?
We haven’t seen each other for a few days, why are you so embarrassed?
Now the stock price of Wangyi is only a little over thirty dollars?
In a short period of time, half of it fell off!
"No! You still have to give me a promotion."

Gu Ming simply gave the remaining 600 million to the stockbroker and asked him to buy Wangyi shares for himself. If it was less than 40 US dollars, he could buy whatever he wanted.

……

Domestically, "House of Flying Daggers" received bad reviews after its release.

"I thought "Hero" was Zhang Yimou's first commercial film, and that future films would be better and better. However, "House of Flying Daggers" made me unable to accept that it was made by Zhang Yimou. It is worse than a rotten egg!"

"I wonder what he is filming? How can you film such a clichéd story? When you saw the script, didn't you think there was something wrong with the story? Or do you just want big scenes? Picturesque shots."

"It's better to watch "Crazy Stone" again. Although the scenes are not as good as it, I really enjoyed watching it. The story is worse than "House of Flying Daggers"."

The bad reputation cannot affect Zhang Weiping, who is full of expectations.

Besides, when everyone says a movie is bad, they all blame the director Zhang Yimou. Who would blame the producer?

As long as the box office is high enough, it will eventually make him money.

However, after receiving the box office summary from each theater chain, Zhang Weiping was not happy at all.

The box office of "House of Flying Daggers" did not have the momentum of "Hero" to suppress the crowd.

There are obviously one-half more screens, so how come the box office is like this?
The box office was good at first, but then it went downhill.

Not even "Now You See Me" is doing as well.

He was horrified to see it.

"Don't panic! Don't panic! There is also a North American box office. If the North American box office is good, the copyright fees in other places can also be sold a lot."

After comforting herself, Zhang Weiping called Sony Columbia.

I didn’t get through the first time...

Hit again!
