Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 245 So envious

This kind of film may not be very popular in Europe's three major movies, but it is definitely the favorite of the old white male Oscar judges.

It's a good musical. It's really easier to win awards than other awards.

Quickly running through the excellent musicals and dance films that had not been made so far in his mind, Gu Ming found that he only had one choice.

"La La Land".

An award-winner.

In her previous life, even the top three actors in Europe helped Emma Stone win the Best Actress Award in Venice.

Not to mention other awards.

I won a lot of Oscar Sentinel Awards, British Film Academy Awards, Film Critics Association Awards, Directors Guild Awards, etc.

Golden Globe Award, seven out of seven.

The final Oscar received fourteen nominations!

It tied with "Titanic" which broke through countless film markets in 97, and also tied with "Pretty Woman" in 50 years, and tied for the film with the most Oscar nominations.

Thinking of the film's previous achievements, Gu Ming couldn't help but grin.

"What are you laughing at!" Yan Danchen pressed Gu Ming's temple, "Dream that you won the Oscar for Best Director?"

"Nothing, just go and do your work, I'm going to start work."

Gu Ming immediately started writing the script.

By the time the script and storyboards were finished, it was almost mid-October.

After being affectionate with Yan Danchen for a few days, Gu Ming abandoned his gentle country.

Flying to Los Angeles with "La La Land".

Go into the office.

Sophia, who knew that Gu Ming was coming today, followed Gu Ming to report on her work.

"Wan's 'Saw 3' will be released before Halloween."

"In addition, the relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has become a hot topic. Thanks to our promotion, many viewers are very interested in this drama."

"Boss, can you find a good time for our Beidou Star's first 100 million yuan investment film?"

Sophia smiled and handed Gu Ming a film schedule that was currently calculated from the theater chain.

The boss's ability to choose schedules has already spread in Hollywood.

With Gu Ming's success again and again.

Everyone says they have an uncanny eye for analyzing which films are likely to fail.

In this case, he, who is now the second person in charge of Beidou Star, naturally hopes that Gu Ming, the first person in charge, can also do more work.

Gu Ming is naturally happy to do things that can make him more money.

I took the film schedule and looked at it.

November 11, "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."

December 12, "King Kong".

December 12, "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."

The month between November and December must not be chosen. The time is too close. Let’s not talk about whether the publicity can keep up. Let everyone know that the new movie will be released on a certain day in this month. It is also troublesome for theater chains to vacate venues.

Who knows how much will be released in the end?

It's December.

During this year’s Christmas period, I didn’t see any scary players!

It seems that at most there is one that can exceed 100 million.

"About December 12rd."

"Christmas?"

"Yeah." Gu Ming nodded.

"By the way, my new movie "Kingsman" is scheduled for December 12th."

A week had passed since The Chronicles of Narnia.

The huge Christmas schedule can accommodate "Kingsman", a film that aims to gross over 100 million in North American box office.

As for whether both movies will compete for the audience because they are both action movies, it will definitely have a certain impact, but not much!

The styles of the two films are different.

Most people who watch "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" are attracted by the bloody scandal of this love triangle. "I understand, let's contact the major theater chains and try to get 3,000 venues for "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", at least 2,500! Your "Ace Agent" 2,500 venues won't be a problem !”

Sophia has this confidence.

The undefeated myth of Beidou Star Entertainment in recent years is confidence!

In two years, not one of the released films has failed, and all of them have made money, and quite a bit.

And this actually brings a lot of traffic to the theater, allowing them to sell more Coke popcorn.

Now one has a huge investment of 100 million yuan, and the other is a new film directed by Gu Ming, whose commercial films have exceeded 100 million yuan.

It’s impossible for theater chains not to realize the huge profits this can bring.

……

After Sophia walked out, Gu Ming called Leonardo DiCaprio, also known as DiCaprio.

Commander Gao in his previous life is definitely not usable now, he is still too young.

And for the sake of awards and box office, it definitely needs a big name, preferably a big-name male lead.

So, there are only a few left.

Tom Hanks, too old, pass.

Will Smith, too dark, pass.

Tom Cruise is too short and has to pass.

This is the role that Gu Ming feels is the most suitable right now.

"Hey, who is it?"

Xiao Lizi's lazy voice came from the other side.

You can also hear a woman's voice at the same time, no! Not one, but another one appeared, two.

damn it!

I'm so envious!

Gu Ming looked up at the clock hanging in the office. It was now past eleven o'clock!

Taking a deep breath, Gu Ming hid his envy, "I have a new film to shoot, are you interested in starring as the male lead?"

"Can you win an Oscar?"

"You should ask Will Smith about this." Of course you have to draw the pie.

"Are you in Beidou Star now?" Xiao Lizi felt his heartbeat speed up a lot, which was even more exciting than when he saw the young blonde beauty with long legs.

After all, there were plenty of beauties with blond hair and long legs, and a new batch appeared every year. They pounced on him like crazy, and he couldn't even drive them away.

But the Oscar winner...

how to say.

It's all because of his handsome face that made the judges jealous.

Back then, "Titanic" was so awesome, but they didn't even give themselves a best actor, no!

"Titanic" received fourteen nominations, and Ruth was nominated for them all, but even so, he was not included.

Not even as good as when he played a mentally retarded person in "A Different Sky" when he was 19 years old.

Oh, I also got a nomination this year for my collaboration with Martin Scorsese on "The Aviator," but the judges were still stingy about the trophy.

This also made him more and more eager to win an Oscar.

The box office is enough, the money is enough, let alone women, he just wants a trophy to prove himself!

Hearing that Gu Ming, who had just become a legend in film history, was so confident, he was really looking forward to it.

"Yes, come and have a chat. If you are willing to act, you will be the male lead in this film." Gu Ming said.

"wait for me!"

After leaving such a sentence, Xiao Lizi hung up the phone.

Less than an hour.

Xiao Lizi opened the door of Gu Ming's office in a dusty manner.

"Gu, I believe you must have given me a surprise, otherwise I would be sorry for leaving my girlfriend at this beautiful time."

"Change it, it's girlfriends."

"Ah ha, okay, it's girlfriends." Xiao Lizi made a gesture of spreading his hands, "You are an insider, you should know that I can't help myself, I am fulfilling their good wishes."

“What a compassionate person I am!”

"So I'm here to fulfill your wish." Gu Ming handed over the script, "You read the script first, and then we talk about the creative concept and so on, so that you know that I am not lying to you."
