Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 298 Quick decision

Chapter 298 Quick decision

"TV drama!"

Gu Ming gave three words firmly, and at the same time looked at Lu with a smile.

"With Mr. Lu's help, you can easily obtain a lot of film resources, and maybe you can easily become the leading actress."

"But if you do this, not only people in the industry, but also the audience will be disgusted."

"You must have also heard that "Red Cliff", which invested 80 million US dollars, will use a model-born person to play the female lead, right?"

"Whatever you feel will be how the audience feels when the time comes."

"That antipathy is very hard to overcome."

"Unless you can transform from a vase to a real acting school like Zhang Manyu, but how difficult is it? How many Zhang Manyu are there in the world?"

"So, don't rush to act in movies. Act in TV series first. Act in two of his more popular ones to leave a good impression on the audience. Then when the time comes, you can star in movies. It's best not to choose a big production, but to work with a small budget and act in a movie. A leading role, good box office success, and then a big production, step by step, in this case, the development will be smoother, and everything will fall into place."

"Just like our company's Chen Bing, even though our company valued her, she had to star in "Myth" first. With the popularity of "Myth", we prepared a low-cost movie for her."

"How long will it take to wait for a big production if we do this?" Mr. Lu couldn't wait any longer, so he paid a higher premium than others to buy shares. On the one hand, he wanted to enter the film and television industry, and on the other hand, he also wanted to promote Jingtian to become famous.

What a small cost, in his eyes the project is too small and not worth mentioning at all.

A big production, even a big production that can enter Hollywood and sell well all over the world, that is the real goal.

He needs a timetable to evaluate.

"Freshman year is when you are laying the foundation. Playing a supporting role has little impact, let alone a teacher on site. How can you get the first TV show in your sophomore year, plus the small cost." Gu Ming said while I did the math in my head.

"Two years!"

"It will take at least two years. If everything goes well, in two and a half years, you can be the protagonist in a big production."

"Okay!" Mr. Lu nodded, "Excuse me, Mr. Gu. If you need funds for those two TV series, we can also invest in them, and the premium will still be 60%."

Mr. Lu just said that we have a lot of money and we should spend it as much as possible.

Faced with such a partner, what else could Gu Ming say?

Of course it’s Xina!

If I don’t spend it, others will spend it, so it’s better for me to spend it.

He immediately responded, "No problem. If necessary, we at Daystar will contact Mr. Lu!"

Leave each other’s contact information.

Gu Ming then returned home.

Lying on the bed digesting what he had eaten, Yan Danchen was thinking about it, "Chen Bing, plus Song Tie and Jing Tian from our class."

"These people are all born after 85, and Daystar's young actor development has already started!"

"Of course." Gu Ming smiled, "As long as there is not much difference in talent, I can praise whoever I want."

"Speaking of which, now that we have these three people, we already have enough young actresses. Don't ask me to recruit more! There are too many resources to spread."

"You haven't seen that among all the age groups of Daystar, they only focus on cultivating three female stars."

"Where are the male celebrities? I feel like there aren't many young people?" Yan Danchen asked casually.

"This is not the same logic as female celebrities."

Gu Ming waved his hand, "Female stars have to become famous in their twenties. Once they turn forty, it's almost time to step aside and give way to talents. The heroines are mainly young people."

"But it's different for male celebrities. It's possible to become famous in your 40s, 50s, or even 50s and 60s."

"The career is very long, there is no need to support a few people who came out after 1985."

"Okay, let's bring this group of people out and get a few more famous ones. It's best to get the title of No. 1 teacher at Nortel and press Teacher Cui to the ground and rub him!"

"You are more ambitious than me!" Yan Danchen was happy, and the image of Teacher Cui appeared in his head, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and one wave hits the waves ahead on the beach?"

"No, it's too difficult."

Yan Danchen rolled her eyes at Gu Ming, "Teacher Cui has trained a great director like you, why should I press her to the ground and rub her!" "Only look at the actors!"

"I am a first-rate director, a third-rate businessman, and an eighteenth-rate actor."

"So I don't count!"

……

After going back to take care of some things, and staying for a week to irrigate the fields, Gu Ming flew to England.

In the next "007: Casino Royale", many scenes will be shot in England, the birthplace of 007.

Gu Ming is quite skilled in spy action movies like this.

In addition, as Sony's ambitious first 007 film, the various crew members are all top-notch practitioners.

However, relying on Gu Ming's fame in recent years, it is not difficult to direct these actors.

Everyone is willing to give Gu Ming some face.

With everything running smoothly, it took three months to finish "007: Casino Royale" smoothly.

At the closing banquet that night, many people took the opportunity to have a drink with Gu Ming.

Needless to say, Daniel Craig was naturally grateful to Gu Ming for being such a talented person.

Even Anthony, the president of Sony Columbia and Gu Ming's old friend, flew over from Los Angeles to attend the final banquet.

Then, after having a drink, he hugged Gu Ming.

"Thank you, Gu!"

"I believe this "007" will definitely be the most successful 007 movie in history!"

"And this will also prove that MGM will develop better in our hands at Sony!"

"I just did what I had to do."

"The next editing is also handed over to you. You are the main one in everything we do. If anyone is disobedient, you can contact me directly." What he said before was that Gu Ming only had the right to make suggestions for editing.

I say this more for the sake of being heard in circles.

After all, such a large investment is a key project of Sony. The initiative for external publicity must always be in Sony's hands.

But when it comes time to start editing, it's a different story.

Can face be greater than a beautiful sword?

What should I do if someone else cuts it? Who will be responsible.

And Gu Ming is a proven director, having made several action movies without any problems, so who else could he use?

"Okay, that's what I'll do!" Gu Ming responded directly.

With such a high salary plus share, it doesn't matter if you do more things.

Besides, if someone else’s editing affects the box office, it’s you who will make less money.

It's better to feel more at ease if you check it yourself.

……

Early August.
