Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"Oh oh oh!"

More than 500 employees of Daystar Animation cheered together.

I talked with the person in charge of the animation company for a long time.

Gu Ming was about to leave when someone from the High-tech Zone came over, "Director Gu, I heard that Director Gu is here. Our director wants to treat Director Gu to a meal tonight. Director Gu, do you think?"

"Director?" Gu Ming doesn't like to invite anyone to eat whenever he wants, so he doesn't have that much time.

"It's from our management committee."

"Oh, sure, I'll see you tonight!" Gu Ming had heard of the other person and lived in Chang'an in his previous life, so he didn't even want to know about it.

As for whether to go or not, it’s not the Hongmen Banquet anyway, so it’s okay to enhance our relationship.

"Director Gu, do you want to look around? We can accompany you around."

"No problem!" Gu Ming did not refuse the invitation.

I walked around the Hi-tech Zone with the other party and listened to what they said about this and that.

Gu Ming also knew that this was to attract him to invest here.

And tonight's dinner is most likely because of this.

This is indeed the case.

"Director Gu, thank you very much for your support of your hometown high-tech zone."

"The special effects company invested hundreds of millions and created hundreds of high-paying jobs for Chang'an college graduates."

"This year's animation company has invested more than US$100 million and created more than 500 high-paying jobs, which will greatly boost consumption here."

“Thank you so much!”

"I did it." After a drink, the other party asked tentatively, "Director Gu, I heard that Daystar Animation, in addition to various equipment, has prepared a cost of 40 million US dollars to shoot a cartoon. Can you Can you tell me your expectations for the box office of this cartoon?"

To make achievements, you have to find a way to let others see it.

Not only do well, but also speak well.

This kind of performance in the film and television industry will obviously attract a lot of media reports, and it is the easiest to show off.

So he also had high expectations.

Besides, I heard that it takes 500 people to work on an animated film for almost two years. If Daystar's film is successful, it might be difficult to recruit more people.

Five hundred people and five hundred high-paying positions are not too few.

"Um..." Gu Ming thought about it and gave a conservative yet optimistic figure, "Four hundred million!"

"I am confident that this animated film will achieve a global box office of at least US$400 million!"

"Once this number is reached, a sequel will inevitably be put on the agenda, and Daystar Animation will also expand its scale and strive to prepare for two projects at the same time."

"Four hundred million U.S. dollars, okay! Okay!" The other party immediately did a mental calculation. The district's GDP is more than 20 billion U.S. dollars a year, which is only three to four billion U.S. dollars in U.S. dollars.

This number is quite good.

And when he learned about the founding of Daystar Animation, he also asked his secretary to learn about the international animated film industry.

He knows very well that the same box office and profitability of animated films cannot be matched by live-action films.

Various role licensing can make a lot of money.

If it can really reach 400 million U.S. dollars, Daystar Animation's net profit may be 200 million U.S. dollars. If it does well, a profit of 400 million U.S. dollars is not impossible.

Even if the box office of 400 million US dollars is an exaggeration, if you discount it in half, it is still quite outstanding data.

"Okay! Then I wish Director Gu's animated film a big hit in advance. Let's make one together!"

In the following time, the other party didn't say anything about Gu Ming coming to the high-wage area to invest. Everyone just had fun eating.

It wasn't until the end that a promise was given.

"Director Gu, as long as you want to invest, our High-tech Zone will definitely give you the greatest discounts and the greatest support."

"The door to my hometown is always open to you!" Gu Ming originally had an idea, but when the other party said this, he simply wanted to do it as a favor and strengthen his influence in Chang'an.

But it’s not easy to agree to something like this on the spot.

Only by pushing and pulling and expressing difficulties and so on can you appear sincere.

Ever since, Gu Ming started to cheat.

"We at Daystar are expanding our theaters everywhere, and the financial pressure is relatively high."

"Most of the money I spent on selling Beidou Star shares this year was used to pay off debts."

"It doesn't matter!" the other party assured, patting his chest, "Director Gu needs funds, and the bank here in Chang'an can provide loans to Director Gu."

"Okay, with the director's words, I feel relieved."

"I and I will go back and think about what company to invest in. Don't worry, the jobs it will bring will definitely be no less than that of Daystar Animation! Or even more!" He said that he needed to think, but in fact, Gu Ming had already thought about what to open here. company.

If it is a high-tech industry.

It is best if the income is relatively high, which can effectively boost tax revenue and other things, and solidify one's foundation in Chang'an.

Then there are only games.

A few years ago, everyone looked down upon the game and even shouted to kill it.

If you enter this industry, your reputation will be affected.

But after several years of development, everyone's acceptance of games has become significantly higher.

It's time to go inside.

If Penguin earns it, I can earn it too!

"Then let's keep in touch. If you need any guidance, just ask."

"Definitely!" Gu Ming raised his glass.

……

After eating, Gu Ming returned home.

Naturally, my mother will talk about it as soon as I get home.

"Son, tell mom, what do you want to do?"

"You're already twenty-seven, and you're already a grown-up. Why aren't you getting married and having children?"

"You don't want to be that non-marriageist, do you?" Dad Gu was also a little worried and asked.

"What non-marriageists are you?" Gu's mother sneered and glared at Gu's father, "It's nothing more than an excuse for some people to play with young girls."

"This possibility does exist." Dad Gu nodded, then turned his head and stopped getting involved in this matter. "You can tell me why you are staring at me. I have never found a young girl."

"That's wrong!" Gu Ming began to change the topic, "Mom, didn't you say that you were only in your early twenties when you married my dad? Isn't that a little girl?"

"Don't change the subject!" Gu's mother rolled her eyes at Gu Ming, "Be honest, do you have that thought?"

"What do you think? Mom, I am an honest person."

"Pretending to be stupid?" Gu's mother patted Gu Ming's arm, "I gave birth to you, and I don't know you yet? Does it have anything to do with the word honesty?"

"No." Gu Ming raised his chest and raised his head with a solemn look on his face, "Mom, am I not the chief director of the Olympic opening ceremony? There are too many things to do and it consumes too much energy."

"I'll be too busy to get married again or anything like that!"

"Mom, if the Olympic opening ceremony doesn't go well, will you be responsible for it?"

"Then tell me when you will get married."

"2008! We'll end it after the Olympics."

"Who are you marrying?" Mom looked at Gu Ming sideways. (End of chapter)
