Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"Is there no chance at all?"

Deng Wendi's expression did not change, and he was still smiling, "I often hear that Director Gu is usually very confident when filming. You can also control the preparatory work on the phone, and then take action during filming. I don’t think it will take much time to guide you in editing.”

"It's really not possible." Gu Ming shook his head.

I simply gave up on Deng Wendi and said, "I'll tell you from the bottom of my heart. Everything else is easy to talk about. The key is style."

"According to the characteristics of Deadpool in the original comics, this film must be an R-rated film. It cannot be made in the style of "Joker"."

"I have my audience."

"Even if I'm filming the action movie that I'm best at, I'll be selective about what I do."

"Let alone a superhero movie."

At this point, it is straightforward enough.

I need to take care of my feathers.

I will only make one superhero film directed by myself, "Joker", and will not consider the others.

"I understand." Deng Wendi nodded.

"Then from now on, I will no longer represent Fox."

"As a Chinese, I would like to ask Director Gu for a favor. Five million dollars, plus I owe Director Gu a favor, how about writing a script?"

Wendi Deng had a look of expectation on her face and spoke the truth, "Although I am Murdoch's wife, his children are grown up. If I want to gain a foothold in Fox, there is nothing better than successfully launching a project." way."

"I can't lose this "Deadpool" project."

"Why don't we just change it according to the comics..."

Halfway through the words, Gu Ming was stunned.

The other party insists on writing a script by himself. What kind of idea he has, it's just like the lice on a bald man's head.

I want to borrow some of my fame.

At the same time, it also gives her some confidence. After all, her script has never failed before.

Whatever, whatever.

Who makes me a pure outsider in Hollywood, and Deng Wendi is also half an outsider, but who makes the other party know how to get married?

If "Deadpool" can be successful, coupled with her identity, her voice in Fox will definitely increase.

It never hurts to get closer to the other person.

Who knows when he will be unanimously excluded by Hollywood.

Many friends, many ways.

Anyway, it’s just a script and it only takes a few days.

Thinking of this, Gu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand, "Then I will give you this face, Ms. Deng, and wish you a great sales of "Deadpool"!"

"Thank you!" Deng Wendi stretched out his hand and held it with Gu Ming.

"I have another unwelcome request. Director Gu, who do you think should be hired to direct this film?"

"..."

Gu Ming originally wanted to say that the director of "Deadpool" in his previous life was the director, but before he could say anything, he remembered that the director of "Deadpool" in his previous life seemed to be making his debut!

So what is he doing now?

Who knows if I can hold on to this movie?

Although it is a mid-range production worth at least 50 to 60 million US dollars, not everyone can make it.

but……

What if Deng Wendi finds a bad director and ruins his script.

I still have to rely on my fame to make a living.

Ugh.

It seems that the only solution is to make a killing blow.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "It will definitely be no problem to go find Wen Ziren."

"I know him, the horror film director, right?"

"Yes, there is my script. As long as you keep an eye on him and don't change the script, the film will not fail."

"Thank you, Director Gu, for the recommendation."

Deng Wendi was inclined to use Wen Tsai-ren. Firstly, Gu Ming recommended it, and secondly, everyone is Chinese and belongs to the minority in Hollywood. With this bond, it is obvious that the other person in the crew is one of them, and it is easy to discuss anything. .

However, she was still a little worried, "Will he make other types of films? I remember that he started in horror films and has always been making horror films."

"There are other professionals. As for the director's ability, I have confidence in his talent! It's absolutely worth the money." Gu Ming endorsed Wen Ziren.

If you don’t memorize it, you won’t memorize it.

After all, he is one of the few Chinese directors who has the talent and ability to handle top-notch large-scale productions.

It's not bad to let him owe himself a favor, but it's almost like a business without capital anyway.

"If you really want to use his words, I can call him directly and you can just talk about the rest."

"Then it's up to you, Director Gu."

Deng Wendi chose to believe Gu Ming.

She didn't think Gu Ming would do anything to harm her reputation.

Moreover, she has been able to get to this point, and her ability to recognize people is still very good. Gu Ming's expression just now clearly shows that he has great confidence in Wen Ziren.

"Okay." Gu Ming took out his cell phone and called Wen Ziren.

Then he talked about "Deadpool".

There was no requirement for him to agree, they just asked the two of them to get each other's contact information.

Just let Deng Wendi and Wen Ziren talk about the rest.

If you don't feel good, don't interfere.

"Well, Director Gu, please rest. I'll go back first." After getting the contact information and chatting with Gu Ming, Deng Wendi stood up and said, "Tomorrow I will come to Director Gu to sign the screenwriting contract. What happened today?" Thank you very much. If Director Gu is of any use in the future, please just say hello."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Gu Ming stood up and said goodbye to the other party.

Seeing the other person leaving, he turned his head. Jinsuo was still looking straight at the direction the other person left.

"What's wrong? Envy her?"

"Yes and no."

"Hey." Gu Ming was amused, "What you said is quite mysterious!"

"Even if you have it, you don't have it!" Jinsuo blinked, "I envy her for being rich. She will definitely get a lot of money when her husband dies. It's easy not to envy her. Her husband is almost eighty, right? She is only four years old. He’s in his early teens! The gap is too big.”

"It would be nice if I could find a young, handsome, rich man to be my husband."

As he said that, Jinsuo's eyes began to look at Gu Ming unabashedly.

"Hey, don't look around." Gu Ming tightened his clothes, "I'm a serious person!"

"Yes." Jinsuo chuckled.

"A very serious man."

"Don't worry, I don't want to get married, so don't be afraid of what means I will use to ask for the position of the main palace."

Jin Suo glanced at the sky melancholy.

There was some regret in his eyes.

What if I were Gu Ming's first girlfriend.

She is definitely willing to be Mrs. Gu.

pity……

You gave birth to me before you gave birth to me!

Of course, even though they were born in the same year, she didn't go to Nortel, so she still didn't have a chance to meet.

And for the mistress to be in the position, it would be too damaging to her character. It would basically mean that her acting career would be severely damaged. She didn't want that ending.

It's pretty good just like this.

At the very least, your resources are not weaker than anyone else's.

"What you said makes it sound like a harem TV show. The golden branches are so evil!"

Gu Ming smiled and returned to the house.

In the next three days, Gu Ming spent all his time on the script of "Deadpool".

Three days later, a phone call informed Deng Wendi to come and receive it.

The other party immediately brought Wen Ziren, who had been signed and confirmed as the director of "Deadpool", to Gu Ming's villa.

"I've heard before that Director Gu's most powerful thing is the script."

"Now I understand it!"

"One script takes three days, and it can be done quickly and well. It's amazing!"

Holding the script in his hand, Deng Wendi handed it to Wen Ziren with a smile on his face and praised Gu Ming. "Not only did Mr. Gu write the script well, but there was basically no redundancy in the script. The script is the finished film. It can be said that when he wrote the script, he had already thought about the finished film."

“I don’t know how many directors would envy me!”

Wen Ziren respectfully picked up the script and started reading it.

After reading it, I started discussing it with Gu Ming.

Deng Wendi didn't quite understand, but he kept humming and nodding in agreement.

Send Buddha to the West.

Taking advantage of this chat, Gu Ming told Wen Ziren all his thoughts about "Deadpool".

After the two left, Gu Ming stretched.

"I can finally go back to my country and rest."

It is conceivable that if both "Parasite" and "Joker" are nominated for Oscars, then I will be very busy by then. I must use this rare time to rest more and enjoy life!

By the way, there is also farming.

We are about to get married in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, which is also the twelfth lunar month.

I can now cultivate the land without any restrictions.

……

Back home.

The next day, Gu Ming sat in Venus' office.

Look at the computer intently.

amount.

The above is not a report file.

It's just a simple coloring game.

In Europa Universalis 3, Victoria came out, and Gu Ming became a damn P agency war criminal again.

After reliving the movies of my past life and having enough of them, I want to change my taste and play my favorite game when I am bored and pass the time.

"Director Gu."

Li Bingbing walked in, saw that no one else was in the room, and locked the door.

There was a hint of charm on Gu Ming's face.

Good guy, this is not a good idea!

I want to eat Tang Monk meat again.

Forget it, who can let yourself be kind?

Gu Ming paused the game, switched to a more normal-looking interface, and then looked at Li Bingbing, "What's the matter?"

"I, I want to ask about "Gravity". I heard that the heroine needs an actor around forty years old? The minimum age is thirty-five?"

"Yes!" Gu Ming nodded and realized something was wrong the next second.

How did she know that the minimum age limit was thirty-five?

I only follow...

"Did you hear what Jin Suo said?"

"Yes." Li Bingbing nodded, "She told me."

"You are still true besties!"

Gu Ming was a little stupid. Jin Suo and Bingbing were usually best friends, but they secretly competed more fiercely than anyone else. He knew that Jin Suo would actually tell Li Bingbing such information?

I really underestimated Jinsuo!

Aren't you afraid of being completely suppressed by her best friend?

What do you think?

Gu Ming thought quickly and then retracted his thoughts, "You are indeed enough for the lower limit I asked for."

"It's not the lower limit." Li Bingbing smiled, "My age is fake."

"How old are you exactly?"

"My sister was born in 74. As for me." Li Bingbing smiled and said, "I won't tell you..."

"Good guy, you're still hiding it from me, no, I have to know this secret!"

"Actually, he's not much older."

Li Bingbing still refused to say, "Age is a secret for girls."

"Girls?"

"Even if she is seventy years old, she is still a girl!"

"Okay." Gu Ming didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of Aunt Xiaoqing, and shook his head, "That's quite hard, you think about it."

"no problem."

"Don't worry, you are definitely one of my choices, don't be so impatient." Gu Ming knocked on the table, "Calm down! How can you do this?"

In fact, a Chinese actress should be used to play "Gravity".

For the sake of foreign box office, there are not so many choices at all. Considering the required age and temperament, even if Li Bingbing doesn't come to him, he will most likely use her.

But since she came so proactively, she had to slow down first.

Otherwise, he would give it to her when she comes for her. Girls should be reserved, and so should boys.

"I can really do it." Li Bingbing immediately sat on Gu Ming.

……

After one hour.

Li Bingbing was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone.

Gu Ming's phone rang, and it was Han Sanpin calling, "Old Gu! The space agency has approved it. They will provide help for your "Gravity" project, and they will also provide it to you during filming. The most authentic appearance of Tiangonghao.”

"it is good!"

"Then let's go take a look today?"

"together!"

Gu Ming went to visit with Han Sanpin that day.

While looking at the place full of technology, he expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much! Without your help, I really don't know how to make this movie."

"Director Gu is being humble." The person in charge shook his head.

"We are helping each other and promoting each other."

"You can even borrow military aircraft carriers for Hollywood blockbusters."

"Our project also needs to be known to everyone. If it can appear in the movie, it will be good for us as the movie lets everyone know more about Tiangong-1."

"And we've also read Director Gu's script. It's only good for us at Tiangong One, and there's no harm!"

"Hahaha!" All three people laughed.

The story of American astronauts coming to Tiangong-1 to get help is powerful enough.

After getting through this joint, only the actors are left.

The female lead has been basically confirmed.

Protagonist...

Or use George Clooney in his previous life?

He seems a little unpopular now! Does it have the ability to drive box office?

After all, Li Bingbing can't compete with Sandra Brock, whether it's skin or box office appeal.

Using a George Clooney who is not as good as in his previous life, the box office will be a problem!

No, no, find someone else.

Think about it.

Gu Ming felt that he still had to gather a handful of his old friend's wool.

Old friends, feel free to use it!

It's you, Daniel Craig.

After all, the male protagonist of "Gravity" is not really a male protagonist, and his role is a bit small.

Ordinary big names may not be willing to act.

And big brands are also expensive!

With such a high salary and such a small amount of content, Gu Ming felt a loss.

In comparison, Daniel Craig is very suitable.

First, he owed himself a favor. In his opinion, without him, the role of 007 might not be given to him.

Secondly, he also needs other films to prove himself. No actor would want to be completely tied to a character and not want to prove himself.

Thirdly, it is not expensive yet, but in the next two years, as long as there is another 007 movie, it will definitely have enough box office appeal. It is high quality and low price and has potential! (End of chapter)
