Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

212 Speed ​​Up

"I'm afraid the price will be even higher then!"

Gu Ming stood up and sent James off.

Looking at the other person's back as he left, the corners of Gu Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

The current Beidou Star Entertainment is indeed not worth 15 billion.

But after "My Life" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are released, as long as these two movies achieve similar results to their previous lives, the 15 billion valuation will not be reached, and it will not be too different. At least it can reach the [-] billion mark. market capitalization.

After all, Dance of My Life is also a series.

By then, Beidou Star Entertainment will have three long-form series that can be filmed for at least five parts.

"Forehead……"

It seems there are quite a few.

Gu Ming touched his chin.

Plans for the future were planned.

At most, we can make one or two more series. If we want to make another series, we should let the domestic star buy the adaptation rights and produce them. It is best to distribute the profits to the other six major companies.

Otherwise, Beidou Star Entertainment would be too eye-catching, and sooner or later these local bosses would be angered and swallowed up.

It is not impossible to even detain oneself until he is willing to sell the company and then release him.

"In this case."

"The North American box office of the films released by Big Dipper Entertainment every year should be controlled at about US$[-] million, a number that is not too small and will not make the Big Six feel that they must kill it."

"Hey, we have to wait for another ten years!" Gu Ming sat back on the chair, holding his head in his hands, feeling a little melancholy.

But there is no way.

If we don’t control ourselves, and rely on our memories from our past lives to make box-office hits, and then hand them over to Beidou Star Entertainment for distribution, maybe next year or the year after, the total North American box office of Beidou Star Entertainment’s distribution theaters will be over a billion dollars. .

Quickly hit the six major positions.

Then he was pinned to death with his backhand.

Want some bargaining power.

You have to wait at least ten years.

In his previous life, the total domestic box office in 2014 was 296 billion.

In 2015, this number reached 441 billion.

The domestic ticket warehouse has reached [-]% of the North American ticket warehouse.

At that time, relying on its own domestic theater chains, maybe Beidou Star Entertainment could still be saved.

Now, the only thing to do is to err on the side of caution.

"Continue to increase investment in theaters next year!"

"As long as I control 20.00% of the theaters in the country and are involved in the entertainment industry, everyone at home and abroad will have to give me some face."

Gu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and had already made a decision.

This year, Daystar Cinemas must be established, with the goal of occupying [-]% of domestic screens.

If you don’t have enough money, take a loan.

Although Gu Ming doesn't like dealing with banks.

But after all, theater chains in the future will be a money-making business, so we need to speed up and occupy good locations first, so that we can take the lead when the theater chain develops greatly.

Don't miss out.

And the loan can also be regarded as a talisman.

Maintaining a healthy debt ratio shouldn't be a big problem.

But that’s the plan for next year.

The most important thing now is to make movies.

Until around Christmas, Beidou Star Entertainment had no more movies to release.

Gu Ming happened to devote [-]% of his attention to the filming of the movie.

The following plot is roughly about Jagosy taking an exam in the academy. The villain, the rich man Valentine played by Daniel Craig, wants to use communication cards with free Internet calls to make people become irritable and start to become violent. Be aggressive.

Among them, Jack, played by Jackie Chan, was also affected in a church with dozens of people and began to kill each other. As an agent, he naturally became the final winner and walked out of the church alive.

In the original film, at this point, the uncle who led Wageshi on the road to being an agent was shot to death, and he just received his lunch box.

Then in the second part, science fiction appeared again.

Yes, that's how it's drawn in the comics.

But Gu Ming speculated that there was a high probability that the producers did not expect the movie to achieve such a high box office, taking in US$[-] million worldwide, so they did not leave any room for a sequel.

When we get to Gu Ming, we can't write him off to death.

Otherwise, if it appears again in the second part, it will be sprayed to death by the audience.

Is this the level of a director who has won two Oscars for Best Original Screenplay?
Did you forget that the character Jack died in the first film?

Others can say that they are loyal to the original work, but I can't!

And we also have to lay the groundwork for the second part.

So when he got here, he came out and was fucked by an RPG from a distance.

At that time, he was in a state of suspended animation. He was later rescued by the secret service organization, but he also became a vegetative state. He didn't know when he would wake up.

This will not only give Eggsy the motivation to take revenge, but it will not affect Jackie Chan's appearance in the second film.

I don’t know when I will wake up, but I can wake up at any time.

As an ace agent, even if he was in a vegetative state, he would wake up within a month. Is this reasonable?
It's very reasonable!

……

More than a month later.

This film with the largest investment that Gu Ming has ever shot so far has finally been completed.

Gu Ming held a finals banquet that night.

"Director, if you find a suitable role in the future, remember to find me!"

"And me." Chris Evans and Jessica Alba both came over to get closer to Gu Ming.

A director and the boss of a distribution company.It deserves their respect.

"Don't worry, I have other advantages as a person, but the biggest advantage is nostalgia."

"If there is a suitable role, the first one I think of must be a familiar old friend!" Gu Ming said.

"Thank you."

"Thank you." The two of them toasted Gu Ming with a glass of wine.

"What type of film will you make next?" After the two of them walked away, Li Bingbing, who had been following Gu Ming, asked curiously.

"First deal with the Olympic director election, and then make a Chinese-language literary film to impact the Venice Golden Lion."

"What's wrong?" Gu Ming asked knowingly.

"I……"

Li Bingbing's mouth was open, but he couldn't say the words "I also want to be one of the three major movie queens".

She is self-aware and knows her acting skills very well. She cannot perform like the heroine in "Secret Sunshine".

I don’t know how much effort it will take to make up for the talent gap!
However, she was still unwilling to let this opportunity go.

He hesitated and said, "Can this part of the film impress movie queens?"

"It can't impact." Gu Ming shook his head, directly telling Li Bingbing to give up. His goal was the Golden Lion, a film specifically for so-and-so to show off his acting skills. In order to help him become a movie queen, he would not make any more films.

The next film will most likely be a group portrait art film.

"Ok."

Li Bingbing was a little disappointed, but only a little.

After "Now You See Me" became a hit, she didn't have such big thoughts about being a movie queen.

Maybe when you make enough money, you will want to try to become a movie queen.

After a while, Jackie Chan also came over.

"When will the next part of "Kingsman" be filmed? It's quite easy to shoot a film like this. It doesn't feel like you have to stretch your muscles much."

"Maybe it won't be until the year after tomorrow." The later stages of the film, the special effects, will be released this summer after all.

It was produced the year after and released in 07. There was a gap of two years before the sequel movie was released. It was the most suitable time interval.

"Then I will go back to China to shoot a movie."

"How about it? Are you interested in becoming a producer?"

"I have a hunch that this film will be a hit." Jackie Chan raised his chin, "It combines the most popular ancient costumes. I think it's very unique and has an epic feel."

"The title of the film?"

"I haven't decided on a name yet. If you become a producer, you can make a living!" Jackie Chan continued to seduce Gu Ming.

But the more he said this, the more cautious Gu Ming became.

You won't be taken into a trap, right?
It's probably a trap. I don't remember any other hit movies after Jackie Chan.

By the way, ancient costumes and an epic feel, isn’t it?
"You usually shoot modern action movies, but why do you still have ancient costumes? It doesn't connect two time and space at the same time, right? It's also a story about the Qin Dynasty? For example, the ancient and modern war against the Qin Terracotta Warriors?"

"Hey? How did you know?" Jackie Chan's eyes lit up. "It's the Qin Dynasty."

"Did someone tell you about this idea?"

"I guessed it." Gu Ming smiled, "Most of your films are modern films. Going back to the Republic of China films, I haven't seen you make period films very often."

"Maybe make a straight-up costume film?"

"So I guess you will take the path of combining ancient costumes and modern times and space."

"As for the Qin Dynasty."

"'Hero'." Gu Mingyan gave two words concisely and concisely, guessing that he wanted to use this to attract foreign markets.

After all, apart from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" has the highest box office in North America.

Foreigners are somewhat accepting of the Qin Dynasty.

When it comes to the emperor in "Heroes", this is much easier to understand.

"Haha, you are really good at videos." Jackie Chan gave a thumbs up. "So are you interested in being a producer?"

To be honest, Gu Ming didn't want to be the one.

The movie that Jackie Chan wanted to make was obviously the one in which Kim Hee Sun was involved. There were also rumors that the eldest brother Cheng asked the crew members to go away during the filming, pretending to be a real scandal.

"Myth" did not make any money. The domestic box office did not exceed 1000 million US dollars. I don't know the North American box office, but it certainly did not exceed [-] million US dollars.

For this movie, it would be nice to be able to earn back Jackie Chan's salary.

If you were to be the producer of this, wouldn't it be the first movie you produced that lost money?
The golden body is indestructible.

Even if you want to break it, you must make a big profit.

Obviously, Jackie Chan couldn't give that price.

Therefore, Gu Ming could only refuse.

And Jackie Chan was speechless when he refused, "If you want me to be a producer, I want Daystar to control the film."

"Ah, that's it. Then we may not be able to cooperate."

Jackie Chan no longer struggled with this topic.

Gu Ming took the biggest bite in one bite. How many more bites could he take when it was his turn?

"Kingsman" itself doesn't make much money at all.

It is impossible to let out new films anymore.

"Let's work together again if we have the opportunity in the future." Just what Gu Ming wanted to say, Gu Ming changed the subject.

……

After wrapping up.

Gu Ming stayed in the United States for about ten more days, finishing the special effects production matters, and then returned to the capital after three months of absence.

The first thing I do when I return to China is check the accounts.

Take a look at how much money Daystar has in its account now, and how far along it is in its short-term plan to occupy [-]% of domestic screens this year.
