Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Of course, he also knew that if he made the film too obvious by wearing big black-rimmed glasses, it might be banned from release, or even not released at all.

He, Jiang Wen, would like to mention forbidden guidance again.

He was really afraid of this.

But the design is still like this, mainly to highlight the iron head and not to give in.

However, Gu Ming persuaded him this way, so he just went with the flow and persuaded himself to give in by saying that he could not afford to be sorry to Gu Ming.

"What are you discussing?"

"A pair of glasses, are they that important?"

Xu Qing on the side is a little confused about the situation. As for what, they even have to fight over what style of glasses a supporting character should use?

Is Gu Ming, the big boss and the richest man in the country, too lenient?

Do you need to be so meticulous?

He walked over and looked at the photos on the file, and then related to the conversation between the two of them just now, "These glasses look like it!"

"You think it's the same, right?" Jiang Wen laughed.

"The more it looks like, the less useful it is!"

"I won't use it." Jiang Wen promised again.

"Can I see the script of this film? I'm becoming more and more curious about what kind of film this is."

"I'll show it to you when I get back. By the way, do you want to play the role of the county magistrate's wife? I haven't decided on this role yet." Jiang Wendao.

"The county magistrate's wife?" Xu Qing blinked, "Who is the county magistrate?"

"Me! Of course, I am a fake county magistrate. The real county magistrate is Ge You. You are the wife of the two county magistrates."

"Oh, then this show looks interesting, I'll act in it."

"I promise you won't be disappointed! This is a book written by Director Gu himself." At this point, Jiang Wen couldn't help but smacked his lips again, "To be honest, I am convinced when I see this book."

"It's absolutely perfect. It suits me perfectly."

"Okay, stop bragging here and prepare for the film."

"One hundred million. This kind of film is not a costume film, nor is it an action film. Foreigners can't understand it, and there is a high probability that it won't be able to sell any overseas copyrights. Plus the publicity costs, you have to make a box office of almost 300 million before I can have it." Make money."

"Don't let me down!"

"Don't worry!" Jiang Wen is still full of confidence and has no worries. Even if "Let the Bullets Fly" fails this time, he may be forced to "ban directing" for a few years.

Of course, this ban is a voluntary ban by the market, and no one will invest in Jiang Wen's films anymore.

After all, if you fail three films in a row, why invest in you? The one with more money burned it?

With that kind of money, I might as well make a youth romance movie, with a small investment and big returns.

……

The front foot sent Jiang Wen and the others away.

Another person came over on the back foot.

It was Wanda Lu Zheng who had had a meal before.

"Director Gu, I heard that you are going to make a new movie?"

"We have always been interested in Director Gu's films. As I said before, the premium is 60%. We can take whatever share you are willing to give us."

"I don't plan to seek investment from outside for my new film." Gu Ming smiled and shook his head.

"Huh? Why?"

"It's very simple. This is a literary film with a low investment. The actors will not be hired by any big-name international movie stars. I will not add my director's remuneration. It is a full budget. Five million US dollars is definitely extremely generous. Maybe I can still keep it." Pay money to do publicity."

"If this is our full investment from Daystar, nothing will be a problem."

"But if we call for investment from other companies, how will my director's remuneration be calculated?"

"Just follow the market price." Lu Zheng said.

"Market price?" Gu Ming smiled, "My market price is 20 million US dollars, and there is no less than 10% of the North American box office share. Well, even if this is a literary film, plus it is Chinese The film, I don’t want a share of the box office.”

"But the salary of 20 million US dollars cannot be dropped. You can give up a cent, but if you want the salary, you can't give up a dollar."

"A Chinese-language literary film costing US$25 million..."

Gu Ming tapped his fingers on the table. "Since you are preparing to enter the film and television industry, you must have known about it before, right? What does a Chinese-language literary film with this cost mean? How difficult is it to make back the money?"

"Think about it, what do you think? Do you want to pay a 60% premium to buy a share?"

"Yes!" Lu Zheng nodded affirmatively.

Such an answer.

All of a sudden, Gu Ming was stunned.

What else can be said?

It can only be said that real estate developers are very wealthy, and they are so generous when they buy tickets when they enter the industry.

As expected, it is indeed a company with a CEO with a mid-level target of several billion and a small target of one hundred million.

Got it!

If you have a lot of money and want to buy tickets, then I'm really rude.

Gu Ming did not refuse, "Then how much share do you want?"

"Forty percent." Lu Zheng said, "Sixteen million dollars, we invested."

"Mr. Gu, if you think it's low, you can add more."

"Just 40%, the copyright belongs to Daystar, and you have the right to distribute the profits for twenty years."

"can."

"Okay, then it's settled." Gu Ming stood up and shook hands with Lu Zheng. "You guys are really rich! Don't worry, I can't guarantee that you will make a lot of money, but you won't lose too much."

Gu Ming is also planning to use "Parasite" to compete for Oscars.

In addition, I have distribution capabilities in North America, the box office and the largest disc revenue among major distributors, and my own name, selling copyrights to other countries, and domestic box office.

Gu Ming cannot guarantee that the cost will be recovered within a year, but in the long run, such a film will not lose money.

"Haha, I trust Mr. Gu very much."

"Actually, it doesn't matter even if we lose money. What we want is the opportunity to cooperate with you, Director Gu."

"By the way, if you need investment in other films in the future, you can call me and I will always give you a 60% premium."

"Okay!" Gu Ming really felt the other party's arrogance.

I was also filled with emotions.

After all, money has the final say!

In previous lives, real estate companies first entered the film and television industry, and later Internet companies entered.

Don't look at the film and television industry, which also makes a lot of money. Even someone of Zheng Shuang's level can earn more than 2 million a day.

But with the investment of Internet companies regardless of cost, for most film and television companies, those two have the final say.

Money can make the world go round!

In order to use more money to make money, Gu Ming continued, "I have also written a new script in the past few days. I will be the producer and give it to Jiang Wen to film. Jiang Wenge and Liang Jiahui star in "One Hundred Million Soft Girls" The cost of coins, are you interested?" The profit margin of "Let the Bullets Fly" could not be high, so Gu Ming decided to give away a part of the share again.

"Do I want 40% more?"

"Okay." Gu Ming nodded in agreement.

"Hahaha, happy to cooperate."

The two shook hands again.

Since "Parasite" had already sold part of its share, Gu Ming simply gave up another 20%, this time at a 50% premium.

Obviously, other domestic companies have great trust in Gu Ming.

After the news was released, it was quickly taken down.

Give up 60% of the share and get back the investment amount of 23.5 million US dollars.

That’s basically enough to finish filming this film. (End of chapter)
