Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 213 Planning a new movie

"Huh, it's not bad!"

Gu Ming was still in a relatively comfortable mood.

Not counting the U.S. dollars from offshore companies.

Daystar Company has [-] million in cash on its books.

Among them, the artist management business has made about [-] million, excluding costs and other expenses.

Zhou Xun alone earned 3000 million for the company.

Well, the salary for "Taken 3" was US$400 million, and there were various endorsements, and the company made more than 1000 million in commission.

Who allowed her to become famous internationally through the "Hurricane Rescue" series? In terms of nationality, several TV series are also very good.

In addition, there is also a three major movie queen nearby.

Taken together, box office, awards and national ratings, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the number one actress in the country.

For big brands, she is their first choice when looking for endorsements, and endorsement fees are based on US dollars.

Earn US dollars and spend them in China.

Naturally it seems much.

The second echelon is Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Li Bingbing and others, who made a total of about 3000 million.

Most of them came from endorsements after "Now You See Me" became a hit at the box office.

Then there is Jinsuo. With the popularity accumulated from the TV series, he also contributed 800 to [-] million to the company.

As for the rest of the people, it’s still close.

Together they don't earn as much as the five of them do for the company.

As for the TV series' advertising and broadcast rights income, even if the cost is ignored, it has earned more than 1 million.

Finally, there is the movie’s domestic box office share and various incomes such as audio and video copyrights that are better than nothing.

It's clear, concise and concise.

Looking further down, those subsidiaries...

It's a bit unbearable to look at.

The special effects company has excellent colors and needs to invest money in it.

Qidian Chinese website is also in desperate need of support. A few hundred yuan a month for full attendance is a considerable amount of income in this year, and it may be higher than working part-time, so there are many people working there.

And those who are willing to spend money to read novels are even rarer these days.

With an order of three thousand each, he is definitely considered a great writer.

There are also website promotions and so on.

The report is filled with two words: Make money.

no problem!

Gu Ming directly appropriated 2000 million from the profits.

Anyway, the website's current contract has been changed by Gu Ming. After signing the contract, the copyright belongs to the website, and you will have to pay for the website when it is sold.

Not to mention too much, when "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" comes out, how much money can I make if I spend 10,000+ to buy it out?
The only branch that made a lot of money was Daystar Music.

With the release of Dao Lang and Phoenix Legend's album, and Daystar's willingness to spend on publicity, it became an instant hit.

You can hear shops playing "I'm looking at the moon in the distance" and "The first snow in 2002" in the streets and alleys.

The three of them are naturally arranged to sing and make money every day.

Plus ringtone income.

Net profit of tens of millions.

“It’s better to make money by singing!”

"It's a pity that it's only a few years away."

"Waiting for various music websites to raise funds to expand their scale, and then all kinds of free prostitution. Anyone who can buy records is true love."

“Most of them still have to make money from concerts and participating in events.”

Gu Ming shook his head slightly, and then said to Li Xiaoping.

"I will invest another [-] million in cinemas. In addition, I will turn the cinemas into a separate subsidiary and use the loan. This year's goal is to establish Daystar Cinemas Company. In addition, I will set a standard that the number of screens under it will reach three. Hundreds of them.”

If I remember correctly, the number of screens in the previous life in 05 was less than [-]. Adding these [-], Daystar Cinemas in the future can occupy exactly [-]% of the number of screens.

"The entertainment industry is taking shape step by step!"

By the way, let’s take a look at the money in the accounts of offshore companies.

There are more than 4000 million US dollars.

I spent all my money before, but I got up again so quickly.

This was not beyond Gu Ming's expectation.

It should be so.

Up to now, the revenue from the rental sales of the previous "Intouchables" discs has reached 5000 million US dollars.

Generally speaking, for a ten-dollar disc, the producer and distributor can earn six dollars.

Plus the box office share received.

As well as the overseas distribution rights fee for "Now You See Me".

Although there are deductions for this and points for that, the amount before the deduction is too large.

"Of these more than 4000 million, use 4000 million to buy Apple stocks."

I'm too lazy to bother myself, there are so many things to think about.

A profit of several hundred times is not too small, and the market is not small, so there is no need to worry about the influx of such a small amount of money causing the stock to rise wildly.

"By the way, help me find two more photographers, assistant directors, etc. who have experience in large-scale events. I have to run for the director of the Olympic Games."

After telling Li Xiaoping to go out, Gu Ming began to think about the plan for the Olympic opening ceremony.

Something embarrassing happened.

Hold the pen and think about it.

For more than ten minutes, not a word was moved.

It made Gu Ming really want to throw away the pen and read poems like Director Kai Ge.I have no experience with this kind of ceremony at all!
Talking about talent is even more nonsense. Who has such talent to take over such a big event right away?
Gu Ming finally experienced the feeling of Li Cangdong facing him in this world.

Why do I feel like I have been living in his shadow?

Yes, no matter how you think about it, your mind is always filled with the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics directed by Zhang Yimou.

As for learning from the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that I have seen in previous lives but has not yet been held.

That's even more delusional.

The style of every Olympic Games opening ceremony is different.

The 12 London Olympics, from pastoral pastoral to industrial revolution, is a very good idea, indeed very good.

But we are the first country in the world to have an industrial revolution. We want to be the first for the world. It makes sense to do this. At the Beijing Olympics, everyone will just think, let me go, what are you doing?
If the history of China is applied to it, ancient history and modern history cannot be avoided, and it is possible to destroy national unity or world unity. After all, there will be teams from other countries by then, and the Olympic Organizing Committee will The side would not have passed an opening like this.

As for 007, Harry Potter, and Mr. Bean, these are all popular global popular cultures in England and have nothing to do with China.

In the 16 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, there was no way for me to learn the samba dance in a bikini, or various singing and dancing, and occasionally a close-up of the buttocks. If I did, I would be ruined in the country.

The Tokyo Olympics in 20, well...

I watched the previous life for a while and then stopped reading.

That strange and quiet energy, those who didn't know it thought it was the opening ceremony directed by Li Shaohong.

I can’t even muster the energy to read it, let alone learn from it.

"Difficult, difficult, difficult!"

Unable to think of anything, Gu Ming started flipping through the opening ceremonies of the 04 and previous Olympic Games.

After watching it for a few hours, I realized that I still had to imitate Zhang Yimou’s Beijing Olympics.

Some elements just have to be added, and it won't work without adding them.

For example, among the 56 ethnic groups, children are asked to wear their own national costumes to present national flags.

copied.

I can’t care about the same or different things.

Not copying is unprofessional.

There are also Peking Opera and martial arts, and it would be wrong if you don’t show them.

The four great inventions are still copied.

"By the way, when you demonstrate martial arts, you can make a Tai Chi yin and yang diagram. One group of people wears black clothes, and another group of people wears white clothes, forming a big circle."

"Yes, yes."

There are also piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, these four can also be added to it.

People around me were talking about guqin and playing BGM.

A giant scroll is unfolded in the middle and a picture of a bamboo forest is drawn.

Then I made something to create the effect of a bamboo forest and played Go in it.

The Go pieces are separated into black and white, and merged into a fake panda. This is a world-famous IP. "Kung Fu Panda" was released during the [-] Olympic Games!

However, is it appropriate to do it this way?Isn’t it a bit weird?
Even if it is suitable, how can it be achieved?
Forget it, let’s leave it to them to study.

Gu Ming found that he was still not used to doing this. He always had the image of the Beijing Olympics in his mind, and he would unconsciously do it in the direction of a car crash.

After deciding to find a team, they will help you as consultants, and you will be the Party A. You can just say whether it works or not.

I think they would be very willing to offer a high salary.

Anyway, I don’t lack that little salary.

"Uh! That's it."

"When you are a boss, you have to act like a boss."

"As long as you set the general tone and do everything yourself, what's the point?"

"Well, that's it."

Gu Ming believes that the probability of him becoming an Olympic director is low.

There is a [-]% chance that the director's position belongs to Zhang Yimou.

If I put so much thought into it and still be willing to pay for it, I can be considered worthy of my passion.

I have to say that Gu Ming has some status in the domestic entertainment industry.

Plus he was willing to pay, so Gu Ming came to the door in person.

Many big names were found, and even the deputy director of the Athens Olympics was hired by Gu Ming.

Then let them come up with a plan, add the few elements they have given, and review it themselves.

Say something.

Even so, this thing is quite fiddly.

It can be said that Gu Ming devoted most of his leisure time to his Olympic campaign plan.

He didn't even plan to go back to Chang'an in the past year.

Of course, it's not just that it's time-consuming. In order to catch up with this year's Venice Film Festival, Gu Ming also planned the films he will make this year.

First of all, there is no doubt about Chinese-language films.

Having made so many English-language films, it’s time to make a Chinese-language film, otherwise people will think that I have forgotten my roots.

Moreover, Gu Ming always felt that it was a little strange to combine the three key elements and use a non-Chinese film.

It is certainly the best to be able to collect all three major films with Chinese films.

So, starting from this year, which Chinese films have won the Venice Golden Lion?
In 06, Jia Zhangke's "Three Gorges" was not suitable for me to shoot. Moreover, Jia Zhangke may have already had an idea or even a script. It would be too dangerous to make it by myself.

Li Eu's "Lust, Caution" in 07 was a direct pass. It was impossible for me to make such a film.

Both of them passed. In my previous life, I got a Chinese-language film from Berlin Golden Bear, so I copied one and gave one away.

It can be said that there are no Chinese films that can be copied from the top three major Chinese films.

Pause.

Just like the last time he wrote "The Embalmer" for Jiang Wen, Gu Ming turned his attention to the east.
