Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 294 Eat and drink well, okay?

It's only been a little over a year, so Han Sanpin will naturally not forget it.

When Gu Ming said this, he understood that Gu Ming was expressing dissatisfaction to him again.

What can he do?

Gu Ming's Venus is directly related to his political achievements. Besides, what he did back then was indeed unreasonable. Now that he has done it, of course he must allow others to speak out.

He could only smile.

"I had no choice at the time. You don't know, "The Promise" failed miserably."

“There was a lot of pressure on me from people inside.”

"I had no choice but to do it!"

As he said that, Han Sanpin touched his forehead and said, "Stop talking about this. My head hurts when I talk about it. I will never cooperate with Chen Kai in any blockbuster movies again. Except for "Farewell My Concubine", the subsequent one is really a comparison. One of them is unreliable.”

"I don't run a movie theater. Whoever wants to invest can invest. It won't be enough to damage the reputation."

"Let's talk about something else."

Obviously, Han Sanpin wanted to expose this matter.

The matter was over, and there was no need for Gu Ming to fall out with Han Sanpin, so Gu Ming brought the topic back again, "Tell me, why can't you decide on the scriptwriter, the heroine, or the heroine?"

"Wu Baige is very stubborn." Han Sanpin smiled bitterly, "He disagreed. He is the director of this film and persuaded many investors to listen to him."

"I can't persuade you either."

"There is no way!" Han Sanpin sighed, "He is planning to make this film into two parts, with an investment of 80 million US dollars! It is considered to be the leading big-investment film, and some well-known domestic film and television companies have participated in the investment. , which also means that our share of the film is not large, and we do not have enough say."

"That's enough. If you were in my position, what would you do in this situation? You can't disobey him, right? If he insists on having his own way, or even resigns altogether, this project may not be completed. Secondly, if he fails in the end, I, the one who persuaded him, will be the culprit of the failure!"

""The Promise" has already failed once. With such a big investment this time, if the upper part is ruined, the lower part will definitely not be able to recover much money. I am under too much pressure."

"Oh..." Gu Ming understood.

I originally wanted him to insist on forcefully, but Wu Baige would definitely not miss this opportunity. He, the director, would be the one to give in in the end. As for other investors, these domestic film and television companies? Who dares to offend Han Sanpin?

Even Zhang Weiping, who was so arrogant in his previous life that he was called a mountain eagle, didn't act honestly in the presence of Gu Ming's Morning Star?

But Han Sanpin had such an idea of ​​non-stick pans, so he thought that if it failed, Wu Baige would take the main responsibility.

What else can you say?

"Admit defeat." Gu Ming gave the answer that Han Sanpin wanted to hear most.

He did not forget to continue, "Three Kingdoms is a big IP in China and is also very popular in Neon. Even if he is so willful, he should not lose money. You can invest as much as you want."

"But, we at Daystar won't vote. Let's let those who want to vote do so."

Originally, I wanted to cast more actors from Venus in the film.

After all, for such a blockbuster movie, there can be many actors in it.

As a result, Wu Baige still insisted on using Lin Zhiling as a model, and cast her in the blockbuster "Red Cliff" for her debut.

It's obvious that he wants other celebrities to support him.

It is acceptable for everyone to have other Daystar actors play supporting roles and Daystar actresses to play the lead role.

But let the people from Daystar give Kurosawa Shirei credit.

Is she qualified?

Then you still have to vote!

"Red Cliff" can only make a little money, but it won't be enough to be scolded when the time comes.

But netizens eventually discovered that Gu Ming also invested in the so-called "historical film" "Red Cliff".

When you don’t lack that little money, you have to do something and not do something.

"You don't want to vote?" Han Sanpin took a breath and suddenly became worried.

With Gu Ming's keen sense for movies, if he didn't vote, it was probably because he was not optimistic about the film.

Not only is it not favorable at the box office, it is also not favorable in terms of reputation.

Otherwise, Gu Ming should still vote.

For example, he still voted for Jiang Wen's movie "The Sun Also Rises".

But Han Sanpin has also seen most of the materials. He feels that there is a 95% chance that Jiang Wen's film will not be able to recover the cost of 50 million. Even if it wins an award abroad, it is very embarrassing. After all, your cost is nearly 7 million. The U.S. dollar.

Probably because of the reputation of this film.

"So, tell me the truth, brother, do you think this movie will have a bad reputation? Or do you think it will lose money?"

If it was the latter, he would have to back off.

Can't take such a big risk.

"Word of mouth."

"Then I understand." Han Sanpin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Making money, at least not losing money, is enough for him and he can do it.

After a while, Jiang Wen came out and looked at the two of them with a smile, "You guys are already chatting?"

"By the way, I plan to send the film to the Venice Film Festival."

"Go ahead, I also think this film is most suitable for Venice." Gu Ming knew his intentions for doing this. Firstly, the time was right, and secondly, the ban on directing over the years had been a bit repressive. He wanted to prove to the film industry as soon as possible that he was "The Return of the King" .

Then, choosing Venice is more appropriate.

Just like many years ago, his debut film "Sunny Days" won Xia Yu the best actor in Venice, making him a young actor and a talented director.

Maybe he has different feelings about Venice.

"Then do you think you can win the prize?"

"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to succeed." Gu Ming opened his mouth and said an idiom, "If I were the chairman of the jury, considering the relationship between the two of us, I would give you a prize!"

"The award will be determined based on the quality of the work. I think it should be quite large."

"Haha." Jiang Wen suddenly became happy, "Then I pray that you will be the chairman of the jury. Remember to give me a golden lion when the time comes."

"Then it depends on the work. I can't possibly agree to it."

Waving his hand, Gu Ming thought of a possibility.

You won’t really invite yourself to be the president of this year’s Venice jury, right?

After all, he achieved three Grand Slams after winning Venice.

I'm not worried about this. What I'm worried about is that this guy Jiang Wen won't say, "It's up to me to make plans, but it's up to Ming to succeed, right?"

Then if he were to be the chairman of the jury, he must not win a prize!

Gu Ming looked at Jiang Wen subconsciously.

Jiang Wen was a little confused, "What's wrong? Look at me like this."

"Nothing, I believe you will win the prize!" Gu Ming gave Jiang Wen a placebo.

There are still several months before the Venice Film Festival, so let’s eat and drink for the time being, so as not to be too stressed and affect the subsequent editing.
