Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 205 Breaking [-] Million Again
Daystar has started production on a total of seven films this year.

"Saw" has been released, so Wen Tsai-ren started working on "Saw 2".

"Hotel" needs to be released on Halloween together with the newly-started "Saw 2".

"Dance My Life" has just started post-production.

"Little Miss Sunshine" is still being shot. There is no way. There are three major problems in filming: water, animals, and children. The core of this movie is the little actor, who is not a natural child star like Shirley Temple. All kinds of guidance are needed to achieve the best results.

Moreover, people from the Minors Protection Association will also be on site to supervise. Others work eight hours a day, and minors are even lower, so the progress cannot be made as fast as they want.

Gu Ming thought it would be great if it could be released on Christmas, and maybe next year.

Not to mention "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", with such a large investment, it will definitely not be released until next year.

Only "The Fault in Our Stars" was produced relatively quickly.

coming soon.

After all, this movie doesn't have any big scene special effects.

Moreover, he is equivalent to directly transferring the original cast members of "The Notebook".

The director is still Nick Cassavetes, and the leading actors and actresses are still Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams.

The filming of "The Notebook" had just been completed, and the three of them worked together very well and made rapid progress.

With a wave of his hand, Gu Ming approved an initial publicity fee of 1000 million, which could be raised later depending on the situation.

Coupled with the success of "Saw", theaters have more trust in Beidou Star Entertainment.

And "The Notebook" earned 8000 million US dollars in box office in North America. This time it can be said that the original cast is out.

Under the joint action of the three.

When the film started filming, major theater chains in the United States gave it to a total of [-] venues.

Compared with the hundreds of shabby venues in "Saw 1", it can be said to be a world of difference.

At the premiere, Sophia had a hint of worry on her face, "Boss, as long as "The Fault in Our Stars" can get more than 5000 million in box office, it will be easy for the films produced by our Beidou Star Entertainment to be released in the future. too much."

As she spoke, Sophia also made a cross in front of her body and prayed for the film.

She even felt that she might be more eager for the success of this film than Gu Ming.

As long as it succeeds, it means that Beidou Star Entertainment has become a rising star.

You can also lift the boat as the tide rises.

Gu Ming is usually either in China or filming movies.

I didn’t even have three months to care about the company’s affairs.

Aren’t you the boss for nine months?

His status in Hollywood will also skyrocket!

"Then how much box office do you think this film can have?" Gu Ming asked with a smile.

"6000?"

Sophia reported a pretty good figure. If she could really get 6000 million, she would be able to recover the production and distribution costs just by relying on the North American box office revenue, and it would be possible to make another fortune.

Beidou Star Entertainment has gone from one victory to another.

Go all the way to complete victory!
But after looking at Gu Ming who was calm, Sophia felt that she might have been conservative.

It's not released anyway, so I don't dare to be bold, so how can I please my boss?

Then, she rolled her eyes and said, "I think it can break [-] million!"

"Well, I hope so."

Faced with Sophia's speculation, to be honest, Gu Ming was not that confident.

After all, the film "Previous Life" was a novel first and a movie later.

There are many fans of the novel. The box office in North America was close to 4000 million US dollars, with more than [-] million in the first three days of the weekend.

Typical fan film.

It was ten years ahead of schedule and the novel had not yet been published.

Who knows what the final result will be?

Therefore, Gu Ming's mentality was a little unstable.After taking the stage and saying a few words to the fans, I stopped thinking so much and concentrated on watching the movie. I watched this movie again that I had watched many times in my previous life.

The plot is very different from the previous life.

It is about love, life and death between two men and women suffering from cancer.

The plot theme is not new.

Speaking of which, Damimi also made a movie this year about the love of a terminally ill girl, called "Fairy Tale of the Capital". The man was also suffering from a terminal illness, but the heroine only found out about it later. thing.

It was a little different from the encounter between the male and female protagonists of "The Fault in Our Stars" at a cancer support meeting.

There are also some gaps in the plot.

As for actors, the gap may be even greater...

I have to say that Ryan Gosling has a unique melancholic and affectionate temperament, and acting in this kind of film makes people feel better than the original male protagonist.

That affectionate look reminded Gu Ming of the male protagonist of "The Pianist".

Of course, Commander Gao was clearly inferior to him.

……

After the premiere, the film started showing in advance that night.

Day three.

Gu Ming, who was sitting in the Beidou Star Entertainment office, saw Sophia walking in with a smile on her face.

"Good box office performance?"

"Yeah!" Sophia nodded repeatedly, "Friday's box office reached 1000 million!"

"This figure is definitely a profit for "The Fault in Our Stars," which cost us just over 1000 million to produce!"

"Boss, this is what some film critics said about this film in newspapers and magazines."

"Everyone thinks very well of you."

In the newspaper that Sophia brought over, the comments about Gu Ming were marked with red pen.

"The Fault in Our Stars went to the theater to watch after I saw that the producer and screenwriter were Gu Ming. This is a film with Gu Ming's temperament, but the quality is not as good as "Green Book" and "Touch". "Out of reach", but I can also give it an 8."

"Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have made great progress under Gu's guidance, and their performances in this film are much better than in The Notebook."

"Gu continues his undefeated record, another Jack Bruckheimer."

……

Both critics and audiences generally received positive reviews.

The subsequent box office also showed how most viewers felt about the film.

Thirteen million on Saturday.

850 million on Sunday.

The first weekend box office was 150 million.

The box office the following Monday also had 400 million.

Everyone is keenly aware that this may be a film with a box office of over [-] million in North America!

Gu Ming felt relieved and went to check the effect of Kanjing.

By the way, I stayed with the crew for more than ten days.

As of August 8, the cumulative box office of "The Fault in Our Stars", which has been in theaters for more than half a month, has reached 11 million.

It’s a nail in the coffin.

When many people in Hollywood focused their attention on Gu Ming.

He waved his sleeves and, without taking away a single cloud, got on the plane and flew back to the capital.

After being busy enough, it’s time to go home and farm...

Ah, no, I went home to recuperate.

For the next half month, Gu Ming didn't want to care about nonsense about making money or movies and TV shows. He just wanted to hide at home and watch TV with Yan Danchen.

　There are too many things to do today, and there are too few updates. I will make up for it in the third update tomorrow.
