Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 237 Work finally started

"Ok?"

"Cough cough cough..."

Han Sanpin was really angry. He patted his heart several times before he calmed down and said, "Stop teasing me, okay?"

"I'm still thinking about how much I can take back from "The Promise"."

"It's better if you let this film be released on the same day as "The Promise". Then our China Film Group will still lose all its money, right?"

"It's at least half a month away, right?"

Han Sanpin held his chin and thought for a moment before regretting it. He immediately shook his head, "No! Twenty days!"

"I plan to have the movie theaters only screen "The Promise" for twenty days starting from the release of The Promise on December 12, and the filming of other films will be compressed."

"I also know that this film is difficult to understand, but after all, it is an investment of more than 30 million US dollars. The scene is big enough, and there are many stars in it, including neon, South Korean, Hong Kong, and mainland. "

"How can you get the box office of "The Promise" to more than 200 million?"

"I think it's okay!" Seeing that Han Sanpin had decided to do this, what else could Gu Ming say?

All I can say is yes, yes, yes!

Everything you said is right.

"The domestic box office of "The Promise" will definitely be the same."

Nonsense, it’s been done like this, no matter how bad it is, there is a bottom line.

If you let domestic movie theaters only show "The Promise" for a year, maybe the box office will surpass "Titanic".

"Then I'll go on November 11th."

"Give me a month."

"Okay!" Han Sanpin nodded feebly. He suddenly regretted investing in Chen Kai's filming of "The Promise".

Who would have thought that "Heroes" would be such a huge success.

And "The Promise", which had a larger investment than "Hero", was actually shot like this.

But the director I made an appointment with had tears in my eyes and I had to endure it!

"Change to "Shoplifters" and let me adjust my mood."

"Yeah." Gu Ming immediately waved to someone and changed the video playing.

Unfortunately, Han Sanpin's goal of adjusting his mood could not be achieved.

After watching "Shoplifters", he felt even more depressed, "The emotions in your film are not as strong as those in previous art films, but it has greater stamina!"

"I think this is a film that can win three awards."

Gu Changwei leaned on the chair, turned to look at Gu Ming, and after a long time said, "The gap between people is so big!"

"Your kid's literary film may have been made by someone before. There isn't much breakthrough in lighting, shadow, structure, etc., but the story is really awesome."

"I have to say, I'm convinced!"

"I told you before that you can get the golden lion. It's because we have a good relationship. I want to make you happy."

"After reading this, I think you can really win "The Golden Lion"!"

"Okay, don't spoil me." Gu Ming smiled and shook his head, "It's not that easy! All I can say is try your best."

"First of all, I am not even thirty years old. Secondly, there are only so many directors in the three majors. All three are white. I, a Chinese, want to win..."

"how to say."

"Films have national boundaries, and the national boundaries between filmmakers are even deeper."

Gu Ming felt that if he wanted to win the Golden Lion, his best chance would be if the chairman of the jury was Chinese, especially to support him.

In his previous life, Zhang Yimou was the chairman of the Venice jury in 07.

But the changes caused by his appearance in the film industry are already big enough. Who knows whether these butterfly wings will eventually turn the world into chaos?

What Gu Ming can do is try to get a film to participate in the Venice Film Festival every year.

Happened to the best.

You can accumulate fame even without touching it. As long as you produce enough excellent films and the film festival considers its credibility in the industry, you will have a chance.

"I just think you're being modest."

Gu Changwei pointed at Gu Ming, then slumped down on the chair weakly, looking up at the ceiling.

"I feel that if you don't provide me with a script, I will never be able to write a story like "Shoplifters" in my life."

"I can't even write "Tuya's Marriage"."

"You have blocked the road of being a great director of literary and artistic films."

"So, you will only make commercial films in the future?" Han Sanpin asked. “That’s not true, but I plan to make a commercial film for my next film.”

"By the way, is there a second part of your movie "Now You See Me"?" Gu Changwei focused on Gu Ming again.

"of course!"

"So, you want to shoot?"

"Um." Gu Changwei nodded, "Literary and artistic films have hit a mountain like yours. I think I can only make commercial films like this."

"Isn't it because the pay for commercial films is high?" Han Sanpin joked, and the three of them laughed.

For Gu Changwei now, the salary of commercial films is really higher, and it is more than one and a half stars higher.

Due to limited investment in literary and artistic films, his top salary is only two million.

If it can be made into a commercial film, his director's salary for "Rescue 3" would be this amount, and the unit at the end is in US dollars.

Converted to RMB, it would be more than 10 million.

In this day and age, it is considered a fairly high legal income.

I just received news that the box office of "Taken 3" in North America is just over million, and the final box office should exceed one or two million.

This means that the film is making money again.

Even though the last two films of "Taken" were both scripted by Gu Ming, if Gu Changwei were to make commercial action films again, it would not be a problem for the salary to increase to more than one to two million US dollars.

In other words, he can earn about 20 million.

"I am also saving a gift for my child." After laughing, Gu Changwei couldn't help but sigh, "The gift will be the same every day. If I don't save more, I really don't know if he will be able to marry a wife by then. "

"Okay, then "Now You See Me 2" will be left to you."

"I'll give you the original cast of "Now You See Me"."

"Where's the script?" Gu Changwei smiled sheepishly, "If you ask me to write the script, I think you will be miserable after the filming."

"Let me guarantee the camera and so on. I have made so many action movies, and I have also carefully studied your "Now You See Me". I can probably guarantee the storyline. This is really my weakness!"

"Don't worry, it will be written in the last few days!"

He has been busy for several months, and Gu Ming doesn't care if he is busy for a few more days.

I simply spent another three days copying out the script for "Now You See Me 2".

"The plot is fairly coherent, and the main actors can just use the original version."

"The first thing you have to do is draw the scenes according to the script, and I will review them after I finish my work."

"Uh, do a good job!" Others didn't know, but as a person in the circle and well-connected, Gu Changwei already knew what Gu Ming was talking about, so he patted Gu Ming on the shoulder and gave him a positive affirmation. Eyes, "Strive to make the whole world recognize our country again!"

"Do not worry!"

……

With everyone's expectations, Gu Ming and his bodyguards carried a suitcase, which contained toiletries, a change of clothes, and the plan he had planned when he ran for director. On July 7st, he arrived at the Olympic Village near the North Fifth Ring Road. A remote courtyard on the west side.

This is the operation center for the opening and closing ceremonies.

Looking at the gate of the small courtyard, Gu Ming couldn't help but take a breath,

The plan for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games will be born from here in two months.

And he will also participate in it and become a part of the plan.

Thinking about it, it’s really exciting.

Clenching his fists and unclenching them, Gu Ming continued to walk forward, but was stopped at the door.

After first checking their ID cards, checking their photos and information, and taking their fingerprints, the armed police let Gu Ming and others in.

As soon as they entered the office area on the first floor, security came over to check several people's bags. After ensuring that there were no problems, the staff gave Gu Ming a card and then took Gu Ming to the third floor.

Just got out of the elevator.

There was a glass door with two security guards standing at the door.

Gu Ming opened the door with a card and walked in. After passing a long corridor of more than 20 meters, he saw the room with the signs of Chief Director Gu Ming's Office and Chief Director Zhang Yimou's Office.

"Directors Zhang and Chen are already here. I'll take you to put your things away first." They took Gu Ming to the living area. After putting things away, the staff took Gu Ming back to Zhang Yimou's office and pushed him Walking in, another chief director Zhang Yimou, deputy chief director Chen Weiya, who was somewhat rugged, and Zhang Jigang who was wearing a military uniform were already sitting at the conference table in the office.

Seeing Gu Ming push the door open and come in, everyone stood up to greet him.

"Director Gu is here! Welcome."
