Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"No! There must be something wrong."

Jiang Wen grabbed Gu Ming's hand and said, "Which of us is following who? Are you not telling the truth?"

"Okay, then I'll tell the truth."

"If I were the chairman of the jury and you were interviewed by a reporter and asked if you were confident about participating in the Venice Film Festival this time, how would you answer?"

"It must be there!" Jiang Wen patted his chest, "You are the chairman of the jury. With the relationship between the two of us, can we not win the prize?"

"Hey!" Han Sanpin raised his hand to his forehead, "If you do this, how will Gu Ming give it to you then? If I give it to you, what will happen to your reputation in Europe in the future? Do you want it anymore?"

"No, I'm just kidding." Jiang Wen smiled, "I must say I don't have confidence! Humility is a very important character for a person."

"is it?"

Then why were you so immodest in your previous life?

Hey, forget it.

Do whatever he likes.

Gu Ming was too lazy to talk to Jiang Wen about this matter anymore.

……

this day.

After Yan Danchen finished eating, he came over and took Gu Ming's arm, "Let's go, Director, go teach the students?"

"No!" Gu Ming refused, "I'm not an actor, and I don't know much about theories or anything like that. It's better not to drag me into giving lectures."

"If you have some spare time, why don't you read two more novels?"

Gu Ming pointed to the computer screen. It was Gu Ming's Qidian Chinese website. Gu Ming had been reading a novel called "Buddha is the Tao" these days.

I have seen it in my previous life. Isn’t this a small refreshment?

"I'm not asking you to give lectures at Nortel, but at the filming site."

"Today is the day when the filming of "Those Years" officially starts. Are you not going to appear?"

Yan Danchen blinked, "The students in our class want to meet you, a great director, and that newbie director, aren't you going to overwhelm him?"

"Okay! You said so, OK!"

I originally planned to keep a low profile, after all, I had just attended the Oscars.

But I couldn't resist Yan Danchen's invitation.

The face should be given, so Gu Ming and Yan Danchen came to a private college together.

Guo Fan and the others plan to use the empty classroom here to shoot the film.

When Gu Ming and Yan Danchen came here together, several reporters arranged by the media who had good relations with Daystar were also here, and they had just finished interviewing director Guo Fan.

He turned around and saw Gu Ming.

"I'll go, am I right? Is it Director Gu?"

"So handsome, isn't he Director Gu or who is it? With his eyesight, it's better to change his career as soon as possible and stop being an entertainment reporter."

There was one reporter who rushed out immediately.

Others followed suit one after another, feeling so happy in their hearts!

Previously, people in the circle were quite curious about who Guo Fan was.

But upon investigation, I found out that this guy is a law major, in his twenties, and has only graduated a few years ago.

Does this look like someone who can make good movies?

So when the filming of this film was about to start, they, reporters with low status in the company, were sent over.

Who would have thought that a blessing in disguise would be a blessing in disguise!

Director Gu, who just attended the Oscars, will also appear at the start-up scene.

Make a lot of money, make a lot of money!

With great joy, the four reporters put the microphone in front of Gu Ming's mouth.

"Director Gu, at this Oscar, Martin Scorsese's "The Departed" was not as good as your "La La Land", but he beat you and won the best director. What do you think? "I don't agree with you."

If you lose, you lose. If you can afford it, you can let it go.

Gu Ming is not so unworthy of losing.

The so-called "The Departed" is not as good as my own "La La Land". This kind of thing can only be thought in my heart.

Can you speak out what's on your mind?

Can what you say be true to your heart?

Gu Ming immediately came up with a bunch of more suitable reasons.

"The two films are not in the same style at all, one is a gangster film and the other is a musical!"

"Everyone thinks that "The Departed" is average. That's because our cultural core is quite different from the other party. You must know that "The Departed" did not get a high box office in the United States."

"Don't think this is a matter of publicity."

"When "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was released in North America, there were only a few venues. It was because the box office was good enough and the number of venues was gradually increased that it achieved such a high box office."

“So, ‘The Departed’ is also a very good work.”

"As for the failure you mentioned, I won Best Picture, the highest Oscar award. Can this also be considered a failure?"

"So Director Gu, when do you think you will win the Oscar for Best Director?"

"I'm trying to get it before I'm thirty-five."

"Okay, today is the launch ceremony of "Those Years", let's talk about some issues about it." Gu Ming changed the topic.

Several reporters cooperated and immediately asked Gu Ming about his box office expectations for the movie, which was shot on campus and used freshmen from Nortel.

Gu Ming immediately recalled it.

In the previous life, this film was released in the mainland in 12 and took over million at the box office.

But there is another thing behind this: it was not even released for two weeks.

This box office is still very profitable.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to trigger a wave of youth film craze.

In this life, at least the heroine is more famous than Baozi. Gu Ming also decided to increase publicity and release it during the Chinese Valentine's Day. In addition, it can be released for two months, so the box office should not be much different.

Of course, the psychological endurance of these reporters must also be taken into consideration to avoid everyone feeling that they are bragging.

Gu Ming stretched out a finger and said, "One hundred million!"

The four reporters were dumbfounded.

If Gu Ming's face wasn't too big, I would have smashed the microphone into Gu Ming's face.

One hundred million more!

Just an unknown director and a bunch of new actors?

In other words, Chen Bing is quite famous.

But his reputation is not small, and how strong his box office appeal is is another matter.

What is the current concept of a box office of 100 million?

Li Lianlian's "Fearless" only received 100 million.

I am really not afraid of the wind blowing my tongue.

"Director Gu, are you sure?" a reporter asked, "Do you dare to bet?"

"Let's bet, just one coin!" Gu Ming took out the coin he always carried in his pocket, "If I lose, the coin belongs to you. If you lose, you also lose a coin to me."

Saying these words in the tone of Yan Shuangying, Gu Ming took back the coin with a smile, "When "Those Years" is released, let's see who among us wins."

"Okay, it's settled!" The reporter was keenly aware that this one-coin bet was good news, and happily agreed.

Seeing how well he cooperated with him in promoting "Those Years", Gu Ming said a few more words to the reporter.

After that, Gu Ming stopped accepting interviews by saying that there was still business to do. (End of chapter)
