Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 252 Refund

"Silk……"

"It seems that I really forgot something."

Gu Ming always felt empty in his heart. He thought Mr. Han had left something behind. He went back to the living room and looked around, but he didn't see anything left behind!

"I go……"

"I remembered!"

Gu Ming slapped his forehead.

"Shots!"

"I had agreed with Gu Changwei before that after I came out of the closed seminar of the Olympic Games, I would show myself the footage."

"Give him two months."

"It's been four or five months, but there's still no results!"

Gu Ming curled his lips and shook his head gently.

This man!

It won’t work without urging.

It is almost the same as those online novel authors on Qidian Chinese website owned by my company that I am currently following.

I only update 6,000 words every day, just for perfect attendance, and I am not willing to update a single word more.

You said there are twenty-four hours in a day, eight hours for you to sleep, eight hours for you to rest, and eight hours for coding.

Counting two seconds per word, one hour is 1,800 words, and eight hours is 14,400 words.

Just six thousand words?

Are you worthy of our readers?

Make a complaint.

Gu Ming immediately called Gu Changwei, "Hey, Lao Gu, do you know what I'm trying to do with this call?"

"know."

"so……"

"I'll be right away! Are you at home?"

"Yes."

"wait for me!"

After saying this, Gu Changwei hung up the phone.

After waiting for less than an hour, Gu Changwei brought his wife Jiang Wenli, who was still holding their son in her arms.

"Sister Li is here too?"

"Yeah, let's talk to Danchen. Aren't you and him going to discuss business? I won't disturb you." Jiang Wenli said hello to Gu Ming and went to find Yan Danchen.

Gu Changwei, who was left carrying a box, seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know where to sit. "Sorry, I have the same problem as the Sunglasses King. I have difficulty choosing."

"After I finished the split shots, I always felt that I could do better. I kept choosing, but I didn't know which one to choose."

"Then we should have said it earlier! Instead of delaying it all the time." Gu Ming smiled and made a gesture to sit down, and then stretched out his hand, "Come, let me take a look at the sub-shots and see if there is anything missing. Let's finalize it as soon as possible. , it’s better to start it as soon as possible.”

Gu Ming said while taking Gu Changwei's box.

"For this kind of commercial film, there is no need to set up storyboards with the mentality of an art film. What is the meaning of this shot and what meaning does this shot want to express."

"As long as it's dazzling enough, exciting enough, and the plot is connotative, it's okay to have some flaws."

"I did set up the shots according to the techniques of commercial films, but I always feel that it can't be compared with your first film. I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of your sequel! After all, it is such a big investment."

Gu Changwei sat next to Gu Ming and explained to Gu Ming shot by shot.

He was right, there was nothing wrong with these shots.

Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same as the original film in the previous life, it is still quite suitable.

Except for some climax scenes, it's really not that interesting.

"Let me draw it!"

Gu Ming took a pen and paper and drew the climax scene of "Now You See Me 2" in his previous life based on his memory.

The first segment is finished.

Seeing this, Gu Changwei slapped his thigh.

"Oh, this is indeed better!"

"Where did you get this idea?"

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants." Gu Ming smiled softly, turned his pen, and continued to draw a scene.

"Standing on the shoulders of giants?"

"Do you think you are Newton?"

"I'm Newton's brother, Niubi." Gu Ming replied to Gu Changwei, "Okay, it's been almost half a year since I drew a split shot. Don't go overboard when shooting in the future."

"Just follow the shots."

"If the filming goes overtime for this long, it will be doomed. Be careful, just like the King of Sunglasses, investors will want to hack you to death."

"No problem, I will definitely not choose difficult disease again." Gu Changwei nodded with emotion.

"At that time, when I was young, people always thought that making commercial films was not a good job."

"A real director should make art films."

"Later on, you provided scripts and footage along the way, so I didn't find it too difficult."

"It's really not easy for me to take responsibility."

"I think this won't work, and that won't work either."

"I am getting old!" Gu Changwei smiled contentedly, "I will follow you from now on and it would be nice to make a sequel to your movie."

"It's a lot of money and worry-free. You don't have to worry about investment like other directors."

"Thank you."

"I go……"

Gu Changwei's sudden words embarrassed Gu Ming, "Don't do such disgusting things, okay? Go talk to Sister Wen Li about this."

Gu Ming felt that this guy was too hypocritical.

Two people benefit from each other.

Maybe he helped him more, but Gu Changwei was also useful.

Even if we don't say that he later made as many movies as Daystar, just saying that he was a Nortel student in the class of 78, and the network he brought with him helped Gu Ming a lot.

There's absolutely no need to say thank you.

Besides, there’s no need to just say thank you verbally!

"Hahaha." Gu Changwei smiled, "Let's not talk about this anymore."

"In about half a month, Chen Kaige's "The Promise" will be released." "Are you going?"

"Go." Gu Ming said, "Mr. Han invited me personally, so I can't go."

"Let's sit next to each other then." Gu Changwei covered his face, "I'm afraid I can't hold back my laughter. Then I can pretend to be joking with you."

"What's wrong? Have you seen it?"

"I haven't seen it." Gu Changwei grinned, "I've heard about it."

"People who work together have quite different opinions behind their backs."

"But no one dares to say that they know more about movies than Brother Chen Kai, even in front of him."

"Isn't that just what Brother Chen Kai says?"

"I'm afraid Brother Kai is still happy now. I think he's probably going to suffer a setback."

"However, if "The Promise" is played in all theaters, the box office will not be much different."

"yes……"

Gu Ming sneered.

To be honest, Gu Ming can accept the full broadcast of "The Promise", but it does not mean that Gu Ming will surrender.

If they all appear in "The Promise," wouldn't that affect the box office of their own "Kingsman: The Secret Service"?

If your film is not bad and is an excellent film, then I will accept it.

But if you feed "The Promise" to the audience, it cannot be recognized.

After watching "The Promise", the audience might want to wash their eyes again?

Then my movie might be able to increase its box office.

That was impossible before.

Now it has its own theater chain.

It's impossible to release "Kingsman" in its entirety. Theaters still have to consider making money, but leaving at least one-third of the screen is fine.

For this reason, Gu Ming also specifically talked to the person in charge of Daystar Cinemas.

And told him that this was not his decision, it was his decision to do so.

I think Han Sanpin won't come after him because all of his theaters don't show "The Promise", but after all, you have to nip it in the bud, right?

……

Premiere of "The Promise".

That is an activity that cannot be avoided.

Even if you don’t want to watch it, you have to watch it.

Gu Ming made a phone call and arranged seats with Gu Changwei.

Then he and Gu Changwei arrived at the premiere in advance.

"Xiao Gu, here we come!"

Chen Kai's brother Chen Hong, Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi were together, receiving the guests who came to attend the premiere.

When they met, he said "little Gu" and made Gu Changwei laugh.

Although Gu Ming is indeed quite different from you in terms of age, as long as thirty years.

But with Gu Ming's current status, if you say so, you really take yourself too seriously.

But after all, he and Brother Chen Kai were classmates, so he couldn't sit back and let the situation unfold. "You see, you are called Shunzui, right? When I was in school, because I was short, I always called me "Gu" and "Xiaogu". Now when I see anyone with the surname Gu, I call them "Xiao". Take care!"

"It should! Director Chen is my old senior." Gu Ming didn't pay attention to this matter.

No need.

Now Brother Chen Kai is no longer good enough.

Besides, your appearance shows that you are not stylish enough.

"Congratulations to Director Chen on the box office success of his new film!" Gu Ming smiled and shook hands with Brother Chen Kai.

"Director Gu, welcome!" Chen Hong smiled warmly, as if she wanted to make up for her husband's flirtatious behavior.

such a pity……

It would be better if she was young.

old.

Don't show any flesh on your face.

As for the remaining Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Baizhi, Gu Ming took care of them and walked in with Gu Changwei.

While sitting there waiting for the movie to be turned on, Gu Ming took out his mobile phone and sent another message to the person in charge of Daystar Cinemas, "If "The Promise" does not do well at the box office, adjust the screen as soon as possible and give it to other films with good box office response. , and there is still time for filming, so please pay attention."

After sending it, Gu Ming's lips curled up and he felt relaxed.

It’s still cool to have a theater!

No wonder Hua Yi was driven to the point of death by Wanda in her previous life.

It seems that I will have to do more theaters in the future!

Otherwise, some people always think too highly of themselves.

Soon, the famous "The Promise" was launched.

The scenes are grand and shocking.

But watching it, the audience and guests were stunned.

Why can’t I understand something?

"What is Wuji going to say?" Gu Changwei smacked his lips, his face not so pretty, "Brother Kai, what are you doing? You're shooting this, you might as well make a movie like Feng Pants. At least the audience can still watch it. It’s a joy.”

"That's because you don't understand! You can't understand the director's profound thoughts." Gu Ming said.

"So, do you understand?" Gu Changwei turned to look at Gu Ming, his face full of "Are you kidding me?"

"I don't understand either."

Gu Ming covered his face, "But maybe someone will understand it in more than ten years."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it in a hundred years."

……

The premiere ended and we left the theater.

Someone was interviewing the departing guests and audience.

"Hello, do you think this movie is good to watch?" The reporter pointed the microphone at a man in his thirties wearing glasses.

"Zini, refund the money!"

"I spent such a high price on the premiere, and you filmed it like this, are you worthy of us?"

"Zini, refund the money!"
