Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 231 I'm afraid of comparing goods

This is still the audience's evaluation.

Critics say it's even worse.

[If the first "Taken" was a pioneering use of handheld photography + fast editing to shoot action movies, then when many action movies now use this method, "Taken" not only There is no progress, but regression, which is very obvious. 】

[As a producer, Gu Ming should pay attention to the plot. It is difficult to attract audiences with such a plot. If this is the first part of "Hurricane Rescue", it is very likely that it will not achieve such a high box office. 】

[The plot is completely made up, and it can be seen that Gu's talent is exhausted. I feel that after this one, there will probably be no sequel to "Taken". Even if there is another one, I will not watch it. 】

Looking at these comments, Sophia from Beidou Star Entertainment became a little nervous.

But seeing that Gu Ming still looked like an old god, he didn't say anything. We would wait until the first week's box office came out.

In addition to Gu Ming, there is another person who is not from Beidou Star Entertainment and is looking at the evaluation of "Rescue 3".

This person is Anthony, the president of Sony Columbia Pictures.

Not long ago, after the former president was promoted, he successfully rose to the position by relying on his overwhelming performance after working with Gu Ming.

Became a real executive of one of the six major companies.

Because his success is inseparable from Gu Ming, even if "Taken 3" is not released by Sony Corp., he is still eyeing the film produced by Gu Ming.

Anthony frowned when he saw the reviews from these film critics and the comments from viewers on some film review websites.

"Gu, you are in a bad situation this time!"

"You even released it on the same day as "Kingdom of Heaven"."

"Do you think you can choose another failed film?"

"For such a film, no matter how low the box office is, it will not be less than [-] million!"

There is definitely not only one person who thinks that "Rescue 3" will be defeated by "Kingdom of Heaven".

But sometimes, whether the evaluation is good or not depends on comparison.

It doesn't matter that "Taken 3" has bad reviews.

Isn’t it OK if the competitor’s evaluation is lower?

The evaluation of "Heavenly Kingdom" can no longer be described as low.

It's just killing me.

After watching the film, most viewers only had one comment, which was baffling.

They don't understand the film at all.

There's more than one thing in there that feels puzzling.

And the best acting in the whole film is actually Edward Norton, who is wearing a mask.

"Watching this film is really disappointing!"

"Fortunately, there is another movie called "Taken 3" today. Let's go watch that movie to wash our eyes."

After watching "Kingdom of Heaven", many people went to watch "Rescue 3".

Although the film was very average, it was still understandable.

Especially after watching "Kingdom of Heaven", I feel that it is particularly pleasing to the eye.

Even the audience's evaluation of "Rescue 3" improved slightly after one day.

A few days later, the first-week box office results were released.

"Kingdom of Heaven" US$[-] million.

And "Taken 3" successfully surpassed the box office by relying on the box office of [-] million on Friday, [-] million on Saturday, [-] million on Sunday, and [-] million on the first week. "Kingdom of Heaven" won this week's box office rankings!

See this ending.

Anthony was shocked.

He even called Gu Ming.

"My God."

"Gu, you are simply too scary!"

"How did you know that "Heavenly Kingdom" would fail?"

"I'm not optimistic about our elf prince." Gu Ming just found a reason and dealt with it.

And this reason, to be honest, is okay.

Facts have proved that Orlando Bloom, an actor, simply cannot withstand a single film.

The highlight of "Lord of the Rings" is not him.

In "Pirates of the Caribbean", everyone is watching John Depp as the little blacksmith. It can be said that if someone else plays the little blacksmith in it, the film will still be popular, maybe even more popular.

"You are so awesome, and your previous judgments were all successful."

"How should I put it? Believe me, Gu, even if you don't know how to make movies, you can become an executive of one of the top six companies just by relying on your box office analysis skills!" "You want me to congratulate you, right?" Gu Ming He answered the phone with one hand and ate his food with the other, "Dear CEO?"

"Uh, haha."

"Isn't that thanks to you?" Anthony smiled, "By the way, Gu, I have something, do you have any intention?"

"what's up?"

"It's not clear here, why don't we go to your house to talk?"

"Okay, come on, welcome."

Gu Ming hung up the phone.

"Oh? Someone is coming?" Zhou Xun, who was eating across from him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Should I avoid it?"

"Need not."

People who have been around in Hollywood have long been used to this.

Wouldn't even think it was a problem.

On the contrary, they would feel strange if they didn't have some problems in this regard.

Maybe you should think that you are gay, or that you have a disease.

"By the way, who is the person who called you?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Anthony, as you have seen, I have just been promoted to president of Sony Colombia and don't know what to do with me."

"Oh, I thought Yan Danchen was coming." Zhou Xun patted his chest.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Ming glared at Zhou Xun.

Did you do this on purpose?

……

Not long.

Anthony came over.

He came up and gave Gu Ming a big bear hug.

"Brother, long time no see!"

"Oh, hello, Zhou!" Anthony originally wanted to shake hands, but realized something when he extended his hand halfway, took it back, and smiled at Zhou Xun, who was standing beside him, and nodded.

Then, he immediately gave Gu Ming a smile that every man would understand.

This smile is irrespective of race or age.

As he followed Gu Ming to the living room, Anthony kept talking.

"Gu, I really want to invite you to Sony Columbia to be a consultant. All you have to do is analyze when it will be released. One million dollars per film."

"Then let me help you with the specific release date of Spider-Man 3."

"This seems to be a film that others will definitely avoid."

"Okay, if you find this kind of troublesome, just forget it."

"So, I couldn't explain it clearly on the phone, but I still had to come over here just for this matter?" Gu Ming asked.

"of course not!"

"Our company has done a big thing recently, you know, right?"

"I know, you are now the president."

"What kind of big deal is this! Isn't that what it should be?" Anthony couldn't stop the smile on his face and said while laughing, "I won't let you guess riddles anymore. Last month, our Sony Columbia 50 billion US dollars Acquired MGM.”

"heard."

"Do you know what MGM's most famous series is?"

""Wind Whisperer"." Gu Ming's favorite thing about others is asking nonsense questions like this. If you pretend to be this kind of person, don't blame your friends for not giving you face. Just curl your lips and pretend to be stupid.

"..."

Anthony didn't expect Gu Ming to act so unconventionally, and was stunned for a moment.

Then he couldn't help but laugh, "Well, "Windtalkers" filmed by John Wu is indeed quite famous."

“Without it, we wouldn’t have been able to buy a company like MGM.”

"But I'm talking about the 007 series."
