Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 228 You are wrong
"Oh? What's the matter?" Gu Ming raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it just a phone call? Why don't you come over in person?"

"Ha ha……"

"We are all on Hong Kong Island, shouldn't we come over in person?"

Jackie Chan smiled, took out a script from his bag, and handed it to Gu Ming.

"This is what I told you, the new film I want to make is called "Myth"."

"You are an expert at writing scripts. Could you please show me if there are any changes to this script?"

Jackie Chan also understood that asking Gu Ming to read the movie script to him was actually a bit excessive. Gu Ming's status was not lower than his.

Strictly speaking, his popularity among the audience is lower than his, but his status in the film and television industry is slightly higher than his.

After all, this is an international director and the boss of the mainland film and television industry. He also has distribution capabilities in North America. Although he only owns one-third of the shares, it is also a reflection of his ability.

Actors cannot compete with big capital in terms of status.

Therefore, he also gave his own conditions, patted Gu Ming's knee and said, "I owe you a favor."

"Mainly, it's my first time to act in such a serious costume film. The earliest I've ever done was in the Republic of China. Plus, with the back-and-forth between modern and ancient times, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to grasp it!"

Jackie Chan nodded kindly towards Gu Ming.

"Okay! Let me take a look."

I have watched this movie in a previous life, and it actually only took half an hour to watch.

but……

Sometimes the work that can be done in half an hour can only be felt by others if you use it for an hour!

Otherwise, I always feel that you are perfunctory.

So Gu Ming deliberately slowed down his reading speed.

It wasn't until we arrived at the next filming location, where the crew started setting up equipment, that we finished reading the last page.

How should I put it? It is very different from the plot of "The Myth" I watched in my previous life.

But if it's almost the same, Gu Ming has something to say.

"I will definitely not be able to change the general plot."

"But the plot at the end is not good."

"What happened to the plot at the end?" Jackie Chan was a little confused.

"How can this deputy general be allowed to live underground with Yu Shu for thousands of years?"

"Because they took the elixir of life!"

"This is not about the elixir of life." Gu Ming looked at the sky speechlessly. What kind of cuckold plot was written!

"Just think about it, you are the audience, immersed in the love between General Meng Yi and Yu Shu."

"Just send her to the palace as a concubine. There is nothing we can do about it. We must be loyal to our duties."

"But you also created a plot where she and the deputy have lived in the underground palace for thousands of years."

"This is a lonely man and a widowed woman, a man of strong blood and a raging firewood."

"This is another cuckold thrown on the audience's head!"

"Nothing happened to them." Jackie Chan understood what Gu Ming was talking about and explained.

"You know, you know, but how can you control the audience's thinking?" Gu Ming spread his hands, "Do you want to explain it specifically and say that nothing will happen to them? Then there is no 300 taels of silver here. The audience would have I haven’t noticed it yet, but when you say it, I feel even more green.”

"Ah..." Jackie Chan also realized the problem.

He doesn't believe in any bullshit romantic love stories.

I won't feel this anymore.

Anyway, as long as his money is there, the film will be a big hit, women, hehe...

But after what Gu Ming said, it seemed that the problem was really big.

"I'll change it to Yu Shu to be alone in the underground palace." Jackie Chan said calmly, "Is there anything else that needs to be changed?"

"I don't have much opinion on other places."

Gu Ming returned the script.

"But you must not use the kung fu comedy method to make a film like this."

“The other thing is that the photo needs to be beautiful enough.”

Speaking of this, the image of the original mythology came to Gu Ming's mind.

Well, the shots were not bad.

But when it comes to aesthetics, it can only be said that the level of Tang Jili and Zhang Yimou is different.

It doesn't have the shocking visual beauty of "Heroes" at all.

"Myth" also frequently uses wide-angle lenses, sometimes distorting the actors' faces.

But you can’t say these things in advance!

How else would you know we were going to use a wide-angle lens?

It can only go with the flow.

Anyway, it's not a film I pitched for, so it would be nice if I could help him revise the script.

Jackie Chan nodded and accepted all of Gu Ming's suggestions, "Don't worry, I will definitely take pictures of the magnificent rivers and mountains of our motherland."

"That's right." Jackie Chan glanced at Chen Bing, who was standing not far away.

"Lao Gu, have you noticed that she looks a little like Jin Xi eel?"

"Well, it looks a bit like it when you smile." Gu Ming nodded.

"To tell you the truth, I plan to find a South Korean heroine for this "Myth". The initial plan is to play the heroine Ok Soo with Kim Hee."

"Seeing this artist from your company gave me another idea."

Jackie Chan held his chin and tried to organize his words, "What do you think of preparing a TV series project after the movie is released?"

"I always feel that one movie can't finish what "The Myth" wants to say."

"It might be better to directly travel back to the Qin Dynasty, and then fall in love with Princess Yushu. The content can also be enriched, allowing the protagonist to interact with the historical Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Qin Shihuang, and all kinds of things happen. .”

"Wow, that's a very interesting idea!"

Jackie Chan nodded slightly excitedly and looked at Gu Ming, "Lao Gu, are you interested in cooperating?"

Jackie Chan has never been involved in TV dramas at all.

But he knows very well that this depends more on the channel than the film market. There are only so many provincial TV stations in China. First of all, there are TV stations willing to buy your drama, otherwise it will only rot in the hands of the drama.If he was willing to star in a TV series, it would definitely be a hit, but doing so would be too embarrassing.

I can't make much money, and it's not as much as a movie.

It's better to cooperate with Gu Ming.

Daystar has hit dramas every year and maintains a very good relationship with the TV station.

It would save him a lot of trouble.

And because his most important thing was to present this story well, and also to repay Gu Ming's favor, he immediately gave out two benefits, "I only want [-]% of the investment share."

"If Jin Xi'an is cast in a TV series, language will be a big problem. It's better to just use your little Jin Xi'an to play the heroine when the time comes."

"What do you say?"

"Okay! Is it settled then?" Gu Ming actually wanted to get Shinhwa's TV series over.

But before that I wanted to buy the adaptation rights.

Now that Jackie Chan has taken the initiative and saved himself the trouble of talking, let's cooperate.

Yu Shu in the TV series can also be regarded as Chen Bing's masterpiece.

Let her play this role first, so as to help her gain national recognition.

"Sooner rather than later, we will start preparations for this project in the near future. Once "Myth" is completed, we will immediately pick up the TV series. We will use a two-pronged approach to completely destroy the "Myth" IP."

Of course, if you do this, it will be easy for everyone to discover that Chen Bing and Jin Xi'an look similar.

Maybe Xiao Jinxi’s hat will be on.

This is somewhat detrimental to the development of actors.

But this worry was quickly eliminated by Gu Ming.

At worst, the next film will also feature Chen Bing, a young fellow, who plays a supporting role in a lot of roles. With two movies of his own, plus a "Myth", it won't be difficult to take off this little XXX hat.

If it doesn't work out, I'll get another movie in Hollywood and be the heroine.

As long as the box office is good, let alone taking off your hat, netizens might even call Jin Xi Eel and Xiao Chen Bing.

Well, that’s it!

Nodding secretly, Gu Ming and Jackie Chan discussed the matter.

"Thank you for revising the script for me."

"You continue filming, and I'll go back first." Jackie Chan held up the script in his hand.

"See you later."

"See you."

……

Watch Jackie Chan go away.

The sky also darkened at this time.

Shooting continues.

The father and son, who had returned from the supermarket with a full load, bought a few kebabs from a roadside stall. A father and son, one big and one small, walked under the dim street lights.

While passing by an alley, the two saw a little girl who was only six or seven years old.

The little girl was huddled under the balcony, with injuries still visible on her face.

The father and son took it home.

"Okay! Click, one more."

Gu Ming glanced at Guan Xiaotong with great satisfaction.

Although his acting skills were average when he grew up, he was still very good at such a young age.

talented!
After securing one.

The next scene was shot here again.

Dong Dong stepped aside, and the mother played by Zhou Xun and the father played by Liang Jiahui returned here together holding Guan Xiaotong, preparing to send the child home.

They were also discussing how to return the child.

But when I came outside the house, I could only hear the "click" sound of something breaking from time to time in the house.

and the sound of men making hands.

All this was accompanied by the roar of a young woman.

"It's very painful. It's not like I wanted to give birth to her."

"Ka, do it again!" Gu Ming stopped and pointed at Zhou Xun, "Your eyes must show the change, loss, and pain in an instant, and then squat down while holding Guan Xiaotong, keeping that look as if I’m looking at the sky, and finally I’ll say let’s take her back.”

"Okay, let's do it again."

There are still many places in this drama where the heroine Zhou Xun shows off her acting skills.

This is one place.

Gu Ming strived to do his best and let him try again and again.

Zhou Xun tried it ten times and squatted with Guan Xiaotong ten times.

"knock off!"

Gu Ming finished the day's shooting.

"I feel like I've done squats dozens of times again. If I try a few more times, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore." Zhou Xun hugged Guan Xiaotong, who actually fell asleep while he was acting, and walked over and followed Gu with a smile. Ming said.

"Then your waist strength is not good! You need to practice."

"Ah?" Zhou Xun blinked, "Isn't it the legs and buttocks?"

"is it?"

"Anyway, there's no harm in practicing more squats."

Zhou Xun gave Gu Ming a look.

Gu Ming was confused. The next second, Gu Ming realized, "Wow, are you thinking wrong?"

People like this who think crookedly.

As a director, Gu Ming must let him walk on the right path in the world.

After dinner that night, she followed Zhou Xun into her room.
