Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 248 Risk it

"Are you sure you can finish the filming with 10 million?" Gu Ming stopped and looked back at Jiang Wen.

"It's definitely no problem."

"Sign a contract? Double compensation if you can't finish the shoot?" Gu Ming asked again.

This time, Jiang Wen was not so sure, "It won't be necessary if we sign the contract. It should be fine. Don't you still believe me?"

It's you who I don't believe.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Gu Ming continued walking.

This made Jiang Wen anxious.

At the same time, I was also a little depressed.

So Gu Ming is not in a hurry?

Shouldn't Gu Ming be worried about the current situation since filming the movie? After all, if you can’t finish the photo, all the previous ones will be in vain.

"Oops, it's broken!"

Jiang Wen patted his forehead.

This law depends on who it applies to.

This is the same as when Wang Jian in ancient times asked the King of Qin for 600,000 troops to destroy Chu, not because he needed 600,000 troops to destroy Chu, but because he wanted to drain the entire Qin State of available troops, so that the King of Qin could only make a desperate move. If he had 800,000 troops , that means asking for 800,000 yuan.

When Cameron encountered the same situation as himself, Fox had no choice but to give it a try. If "Titanic" was allowed to be unfinished, it would definitely go bankrupt. It would be better to give it a try, and Cameron would have no choice but to give it a try. Long was tied to the boat to fight.

But Gu Ming is different!

"The Sun Also Rises" He only invested 15 million, which was still a soft girl coin. Is this nothing to Gu Ming?

Not to mention the stocks and the companies in my hands.

Just say that someone's personal income, the pure salary of a movie can be invested more than ten times, 15 million.

If you say it's bad, then it's really bad. I don't feel bad at all. I just lost some money.

But if this fails, Jiang Wen's reputation will be ruined.

Besides, everyone knows that you offended Gu Ming, who will invest in making movies of his own in the future?

Is it possible to use your own money to shoot?

Apart from geniuses like Gu Ming, who of the serious people would use their own money to make movies?

Can someone who makes a movie with his own eyes be called a serious person?

"Ouch..."

Jiang Wen ran a few steps quickly and grabbed Gu Ming's arm. "Brother, I'm going to risk everything this time. I'll also invest five million in it."

"This is basically all my property. If I invest any more, I have to sell the house."

When Gu Ming invested, he was prepared that he wouldn't make much money at the box office, and with Han Sanpin sharing the risk, he couldn't lose too much even if he was purely looking at short-term gains.

Therefore, Gu Ming didn't actually get too angry just now, he just wanted to give Jiang Wen a try.

Now it seems that I have a handle on it.

Since he was willing to invest five million to express his willingness to share the hardships with the film, Gu Ming stopped again.

"Okay! Then I'll contact Mr. Han and discuss that each of the two families will invest another five million, plus your five million, for a total of fifteen million. If it still can't be shot, then Brother Jiang, you are too It’s not interesting enough.”

"Don't worry, there will be no problem!" Jiang Wen began to swear again, patting his chest to make a guarantee.

"Okay, don't say this too early." Gu Ming smiled, "If you can't take the photo by then, just think of a way on your own, take it easy."

"Understood!" Jiang Wen raised his chin, "Promise to complete the task."

After separating from Jiang Wen, Gu Ming returned to his residence with Yan Danchen.

After returning, Yan Danchen couldn't help muttering.

"More than 40 million to make a movie."

"The most famous actor in it is Jiang Wen. I always feel like this movie will cost me money!"

"You don't have to think so." Gu Ming nodded, "If nothing happens, we will definitely compensate."

"Jiang Wen's current box office appeal is not enough to support such a large investment."

"He is not Li Lianjie, and he is not Jackie Chan."

In his previous life, the box office figures of his subsequent films were still acceptable, and that was all thanks to the movie "Let the Bullets Fly." The success of "Let the Bullets Fly" is not only because of the excellent film, but also because of the participation of Zhou Runfa and Ge You.

Otherwise, the box office would never be that high.

"But I don't need him to make much money. A small loss is just a profit."

Gu Ming picked up the cup and took a sip of water. "His unique wild style is quite promising as long as he doesn't use too many metaphors and confuses the audience."

"I call this investing in the future."

"The work is quite profound." Yan Danchen smiled, "The future Golden Rooster director."

"Ahem, remove the words "Future Gold"."

……

After playing in Sanya for a few days and enjoying the sea view, the Golden Rooster award was just around the corner.

Instead of the crew sitting together one by one, Gu Ming was separated from the other actors. Except for one actor, Zhou Xun, she sat on the right side of Gu Ming. After all, she is the first echelon of actresses now, and she is the star of "The Thief". The organizing committee arranged for the heroine of "The Family" to sit with Gu Ming.

But the problem is, Yan Danchen is arranged on the left!

It's not that he was trying to save Gu Ming's face.

After all, he has been the producer of so many films by Gu Ming, so he still has some reputation.

It's a pity that they arranged it so that Gu Ming was embarrassed to sit in the middle. Looking at Zhou Xun's flirtatious eyes from time to time, Gu Ming really wanted to change seats.

But no one dared to change seats in this kind of ceremony, and because he was worried that the two of them would fight each other, Gu Ming could only continue to sit there, hoping that the award ceremony would end as soon as possible.

Soon, the awards ceremony began, and the Lifetime Achievement Award was given to two Xies, one Xie Jin and the other Xie Tielia.

As for those small prizes, Gu Minglian was out of his mind.

Until it was the turn of the actors in "Shoplifters", Li Mingqi won the best supporting actress.

Excavator School spokesperson Tang Guoqiang won the Best Supporting Actor.

The best actress award went to 80-year-old Jin Yaqing in "The Two of Us".

Best Actor, as expected, went to Jackie Chan for "New Police Story".

Damn it, it seems I really don’t understand Golden Rooster.

The muscles on Gu Ming's face twitched and he looked in the direction where Jiang Wen was sitting.

I saw him looking this way, with a bitter look on his face, and asked, "Look, what did I say?"

"Jiang Wen guessed this correctly. Doesn't that mean that the best director must be me?"

as predicted.

Not long after this idea came to mind, the host's voice rang out on the awards stage.

"The winner for Best Director is Gu Ming."

"Congratulations to Director Gu Ming."

"Oh my god, after taking the three big ones, I finally got the golden rooster." After hugging Yan Danchen Zhou Xun on the left and right, Gu Ming complained in a low voice, and walked forward to get the third of his three golden roosters. A director's trophy.

Then he held up the trophy and thanked the camera.

The order of thanks must have a correct attitude.

First of all, thank you Guo Jia.

Secondly, thank you to the government.

Next, thank the organizing committee.

Then there are the various crew members and so on.

After thanking him, he walked down.

As soon as I got off, my butt was still hot, the award ceremony for the final Best Feature Film began again.

“Congratulations to Shoplifters, Taihang Mountain, and Hoh Xil.”
