Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 202 I Like Passivity

He looks like he is in his early twenties today.

If I remember correctly, I probably haven't gotten involved in that matter yet.

but……

How do you say this?

Can I remind Li Lianjie not to make more kung fu movies and pay attention to his health? Can he also remind Jackie Chan to be careful about his son smoking in the future?

Isn't this the same as cursing someone?

Then we can only respect our personal destiny.

Looking towards Jackie Chan, Gu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand.

"You came so early!"

"I also have a place to live here, and we will be neighbors from now on." Jackie Chan smiled and introduced the two people beside him to Gu Ming, "My son, Fang Zhuming, and my wife."

"Hello, sister-in-law!"

He reached out and shook his hand.

"I've heard Jackie Chan talk about you a long time ago, and I've also seen you in reports. When I saw you in person today, I realized that reporters are not good at taking pictures!" Wanwan is known as the second forest. After marrying Jackie Chan in secret, he Lin Fengjiao, who has retired from the industry, is now 50 years old, but his charm is still there and his smile is a little more kind.

"Exaggerated, exaggerated, please come inside."

Next, there is Li Lianjie’s family, and Will Smith and the others.

There are relatively few white celebrities here. They are basically the ones who have filmed with Gu Ming. Most of them are Chinese celebrities.

Glancing around, there was another person among them whose appearance and temperament were no less than his own.

Zunlong.

"Everyone eat and drink well!"

As soon as Gu Ming was announced as the host, the banquet officially began.

Gu Ming wandered among the crowd, chatting with everyone who came to the party to show his friendship as a landlord.

After chatting, we came to Doug Liman.

He was also the producer of "The Bourne Supremacy".

The cooperation was quite pleasant at that time, and Gu Ming invited him to the party at his new home.

"Gu! Congratulations."

Holding hands and looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Doug Liman felt quite emotional.

Gu Ming's career path has gone really smoothly.

Everything went smoothly, which made him a little envious.

His birth was definitely much better than Gu Ming's, but his career couldn't be compared with Gu Ming's.

After "The Bourne Supremacy", during the production of "The Bourne Supremacy", Gu Ming was unwilling to be the director, so he decided to do it himself. Unexpectedly, Universal did not agree with some of his designs for "The Bourne Supremacy" .

A gay British director named Paul Greengrass was also called.

He was thus excluded from the core power of the crew.

Although the producer's name is still on the name, the production company and the director are on the same side, so what kind of decision can he make?Basically equivalent to mixed salary.

Gu Ming had also heard about "The Bourne Supremacy" and saw Doug Liman's desire to prove himself again.

I immediately thought that the script for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" produced by Doug Liman in his previous life was at Beidou Star Entertainment.

It’s time to make it too.

Avoid leaving so much money in the company account.

The previous films produced by Beidou Star Entertainment were all low-budget and small-investment. The total production cost of five films was only 4000 million.

Among them, the current income of "Chain Saw" can make back its publicity and production costs, and it has also earned more than 1000 million. The remaining income will gradually arrive in the account within two years.

In addition, "The Intouchables" and the profits brought by the original production of discs from Artisan Entertainment's huge film library.

Even though it spent nearly 2000 million to buy a villa, Beidou Star Entertainment still has 4000 million on its books.

It would be a shame not to spend it.

We still have to shoot a relatively expensive film!

Gu Ming said immediately.

"I have an action film project here, and I'm short of a producer and director. If you're interested, let's talk at Beidou Star Entertainment tomorrow?"

"Did you write the script?" Doug Liman asked curiously.

"No, but I am really optimistic about it and feel that this script has the potential to make an excellent film."

"And I will spend [-] million in production costs."

"Oh?" Doug Liman was moved.

Others do not say.

Just saying that Gu Ming was optimistic about the script and the same investment amount of [-] million, he couldn't refuse at all.

There are only so many movies in Hollywood that can cost over [-] million to produce every year.

There are even fewer action movies that can make over [-] million yuan.

There are not many choices suitable for him.

"I will go to Beidou Star Entertainment tomorrow to read the script and talk about this project."

"A word is settled!"

Gu Ming had a drink with him.

All in one drink.

After all, many of them were acquaintances. Everyone had a great time at the party and drank more.

The party lasted for several hours.

Then back home, some people stayed directly in the guest rooms.

After all, it was a villa bought for nearly 2000 million yuan, and there were still a lot of guest rooms.

Enough to accommodate those who are not nearby.

Gu Ming, who had an average capacity for drinking, was also a little dizzy from drinking.

But the golden lock next to him felt refreshed.

Gu Ming was a little surprised when he saw it.

"Are you such a good drinker?"

When he drinks, Jin Suo also drinks symbolically, and every time he drinks one cup.

So far nothing has happened.

This drinking capacity is comparable to that of another Bing, Li Bingbing!

"It's all red wine, okay."

Jin Suo smiled and said, "I always buy three bottles of red wine. I did drink a lot tonight, but there is still a gap between being drunk."

As he said that, Jinsuo smiled and smoothed his hair.

He showed a seductive smile.Then he supported Gu Ming and said, "Director Gu, let me take you back to your room."

Just give it away, no one is afraid of whom!

A good man will never give in in the face of difficulties!

You will definitely raise your head and face the difficulties!

Gu Ming did not refuse.

With the help of the other party, he arrived at the master bedroom.

All of a sudden he lay down on the big bed.

Then I felt the aroma penetrate my nose.

Gu Ming drank too much and didn't bother to resist.

Then it matched the words of Lao Qi in "Let the Bullets Fly".

"Brother, you know me. I never do anything to bully others. I like to be passive."

……

The next day, early morning.

Gu Ming woke up from his [-]-square-meter bed, facing the golden lock beside him and more than a dozen beautiful maids. However, he did not feel happy because of his wealth.

Go away, you damn money, and don't bother me again.

Lying on the bed, thinking about Wang Dachui's words in his head, Gu Ming was in a good mood.

The only downside to expensive things is that they are expensive.

It feels really good to sleep!
Makes it feel like value for money.

"Director Gu, you're awake!" Jin Suo called Gu Ming.

"Well, I didn't expect you to still not lose weight! I thought you had lost weight at the party yesterday."

"I have indeed lost a lot of weight. I have lost at least fifteen pounds in the past six months. So am I losing weight?"

"No, now is the right time."

What's so good about hemp pole?

It doesn’t matter what you want except being on camera.

"Then I'll keep this figure." Jinsuo blinked, stood up, and then fell back down.

"Ouch..."

"My waist is loose and I can't use my strength."

"It's okay, I'm not losing strength, I'm strong!"

……

After a hearty meal, Gu Ming came to Beidou Star Entertainment.

first step.

First, he called the stockbroker and invested all the $1000 million he had saved to buy a villa in the stock market.

"Should we still invest in Net Billion?" the stockbroker asked.

"Do not."

Considering that the stock price of Wangyi is not lower than before, and the market is too small, 1000 million will be enough to pull it up.

Gu Ming checked two stocks.

They are also old investment purposes. One is called Amazon and the other is called Apple.

Amazon’s stock price is around $[-], and Apple’s stock price is around $[-].

Is there any choice?

Of course I choose the latter!

"Purchase all 1000 million to buy me apples."

Now that Apple's market value is tens of billions, 1000 million is only one thousandth of a share, so there is no need to worry about a big increase.

But in order to avoid accidents, Gu Ming reminded the stockbroker.

"All for under forty dollars."

"The price should be as low as possible."

After giving the instructions, Gu Ming hung up the phone, called Doug Liman and called him over.

After he arrived, he gave him the script of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" and asked him to sit in the office and read it.

After watching it for more than an hour.

Doug Liman couldn't help but smacked his lips, "This script has some features, but it's not enough to attract audiences to the cinema."

"If you want to be a hit at the box office, the male and female protagonists must choose well-known actors."

"So I said the budget of this film is [-] million, a lot of which is the actors' salary." Gu Ming explained.

"Gu, who do you think should be chosen as the male and female protagonists?"

"What do you think?"

"The heroine actually has no choice at all." Doug Liman shrugged. "Among the actresses who can carry the box office, Julia Roberts and Angelina Jolie are the only ones."

"This is an action movie, and the two protagonists must be handsome men and beautiful women."

"Julia Roberts is almost [-]. Of the two, Angelina Jolie is definitely the more suitable choice."

"Yes!" Gu Ming nodded and said, "The leading actor is Brad Pitt."

"I think so too."

"Gu!"

"It looks like we've reached an agreement." Doug Liman was happy.

He wanted to find Brad Pitt for "The Bourne Supremacy", but was rejected because of lack of schedule. This time he was finally able to try to cooperate.

"This is what heroes see and agree with."

Of course, more strictly speaking, they reach the same goal through different paths.

Doug Liman wanted to cast Brad Pitt because he really felt he was suitable for the movie and had box office appeal.

As for Gu Ming, what matters more is not his box office appeal.

Because I have always felt that his appeal is average.

The key is to pair him with Angelina Jolie!
In their previous lives, the two had a bloody love triangle with America's sweetheart, Brad Pitt's wife Jennifer Aniston, but the whole world was about to know about it.

This incident also greatly promoted the box office of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

Only when he is paired with Julie can this effect be maximized.

As for whether his butterfly wings would stop anything happening between the two of them, Gu Ming was not worried at all.

They are not fuel-efficient lamps.
