Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Thinking of this, Gu Ming immediately called Daniel Craig and had a chat.

I heard that it was a role that only required me to participate for one month after one year, or no more than two months at most. The other party accepted it without much thought.

There was no conflict with my own schedule. At that time, the new 007 movie was also finished filming.

Moreover, Gu Ming was kind to him, and he returned the favor. As they kept going back and forth, wouldn't the relationship between us become closer?

Besides, with the success of "Casino Royale", it's really not easy for me to act in any movie. If the failure is too serious, it may affect my 007 movie. After all, I only acted in one. There are also 007 actors.

The 007 series is different from other series. For it, there are no actors that cannot be replaced.

In this case, if you want to prove yourself in other films, you have to be careful and careful. The film must not fail.

With this restriction in mind, working with Gu Ming was the perfect choice.

"Okay, then you and your agent come to the country and we sign the contract."

"No problem. I haven't worked with you for a long time. I miss you a lot."

"It didn't take long." Gu Ming laughed.

"I really want to continue working with you."

"At the very least, it would be great if we could continue to cooperate on 007!"

"Wouldn't it be possible to cooperate again next year? Well, go ahead and contact us then."

Gu Ming didn't answer this question.

Are you still filming 007?

Don't say that you won't even make a sequel to your own movie. Even if you want to do it, Sony Columbia won't do it.

One 007 movie earned him more than million US dollars in directing fees.

Now his status in Hollywood is higher.

Or for a sequel, how much do you have to give?

20 million plus 20% of the North American box office should be right?

In addition, Daniel Craig's salary will inevitably rise, reaching 20 million just around the corner.

How much less will Sony Columbia make?

The actors can move as long as they can, but the director is really not that important to the series.

I asked myself to shoot "Casino Royale" because I didn't know what to do, and I just needed to give them a head start.

I was very aware of this, so after the filming, I had a tacit understanding with Anthony and never discussed the issue of directing the next 007 sequel. We are all smart people, so we just kept it to ourselves.

After finalizing this role, thinking that this "Gravity" didn't have many characters to begin with, Gu Ming simply got tired and decided on a few more main roles.

The staff of the flight control center basically only have voices. The original film was played by Ed Harris, who has appeared in movies such as "The Island", "The Truman Show" and "A Beautiful Mind". veteran supporting role.

This kind of person is still needed, but of course, it is not very important. Therefore, Gu Ming stopped making phone calls in person and asked the assistant director to send out the invitation after making the decision. If the other party didn't want to act, he would talk about it later.

There are already two white men, and there is one more villain. After all, there are already gay people in the United States. It is inappropriate for the movie to not have a non-villain villain.

If your own film has no one interested in it, then it would be even more inappropriate.

Gu Ming searched in his mind, and all the interesting people that Gu Ming could think of, no need to think about it, they were all famous stars. Besides, it would be difficult to attract an audience if they were not famous.

Are you trying to force me to use Will Smith?

When a bold idea comes up, Gu Ming throws it away. That's not how favors work.

After all, Gravity is teased to have only 1.6 actors.

There is one female protagonist, half the male protagonist, and the one who died soon after the start counts as 0.1.

We can't let Emperor Shi play a dime.

It's Don Cheadle, who is a little lower than him. He has worked with him before and is considered to be a great one. It's my own favor to invite him to play a role with a small role, so there is no problem in doing so.

This time, since he wanted to use the fruit of face, Gu Ming made a phone call to the other party.

As soon as the face-saving fruit came out, it was quickly finalized.

As for the rest, Gu Ming was too lazy to think about it. He had decided on four roles, which was enough. The rest would not have much impact on the box office. Let others consider it. He had to give others something to do.

I have a lot on my plate, so I need to focus on other things.

There is another thing, which can be considered a huge investment.

I had been thinking about investing heavily in Changan before, and now is the time.

Without laying a solid foundation, as the value of the shares continues to increase, there is always a lack of security!

And in order to achieve the goal, you always have to get something big.

Gu Ming came to Venus' office and started writing and drawing.

According to Wanda’s previous life in the Eastern Shadow City of Blue Bird.

As for choosing it, firstly, it can be built into a film and television base, and secondly, because the investment is large enough!

An investment of tens of billions is interesting enough, right?

Coupled with his fame in the international film and television circles.

Definitely brings a lot of friendships.

After probably drawing a bunch, Gu Ming called Li Xiaoping.

He handed over what he had drawn.

"have a look."

"Huh?" After Li Xiaoping took it over, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, "Movie Capital, more than thirty studios?"

"We can now shoot thirty movies a year in China that require a studio? Isn't it a little..."

"You have to be forward-thinking. The domestic economy is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it is just around the corner to surpass Neon. But the current per capita GDP has not even reached the middle-income trap. With a strong population, 60% or more of the US GDP has not yet reached the middle-income trap." question."

"Do you think the film and television industry will be able to handle a bigger deal at that time?"

"Okay, let me show you, I want you to operate the loan. When the time comes, we will get the land first, and then we will start working on it after the design is completed by the design institute."

It’s also time to use Daystar’s shares to borrow money again.

It is an era of box office explosion.

Don’t be afraid of not being able to pay it back.

Besides, its subsidiaries also have two major players, namely gaming and Weibo, which can always be repaid, but it is really not possible to let the subsidiaries go public to make a lot of money.

"Are you going to Chang'an?"

"Yes." Gu Ming only made this one choice, and he also had a small plan.

By then, Chang'an will have this film city, coupled with Tiangong Color, which has been cultivated by itself and has the best special effects capabilities in the country, there will also be many ancient buildings, and Venus animation.

What kind of Eastern Hollywood?

After the film capital is built, various domestic film companies that want to make blockbusters will inevitably choose Chang'an as their first choice.

It also promotes the special effects company, and then the two promote each other to achieve a win-win situation.

"First raise 5 billion to make a base, and then wait until it's not enough." If it didn't work out, I pledged all the shares of Net Billion Penguin in my hand.

It will take four to five years to build, and if we invest in batches, there will be little financial pressure.

"It's still a little difficult to get back the money, isn't it?" Li Xiaoping was still a little worried, "It looks like this must be an investment of tens of billions!"

"We still have a lot of IP, especially animation IP, so we can build a big playground."

Gu Ming felt that he still had an advantage over Wanda in his previous life, and he felt that the other party was a bit stupid for spending money.

And since I have minions around, I really can’t afford to have another bear roam around. Although I’ll get scolded easily, I’m actually making money!

Not to mention cartoons, big animated movies, one every year, make money every year!

This alone is so attractive to children.

And a child means there will be at least one or two adult tourists!

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it, it's no problem!" After waving Li Xiaoping out, Gu Ming also started to move.

He took out his phone and flipped to a number.

This is the number of his secretary that I received when I met Lao A from my hometown when I went back one time today.

In her previous life, Wanda estimated that she spent an investment of 2013 billion to make a movie in . Now, if she makes a movie, it will cost to billion, right?

There must be a giant Buddha, and this project will also be regarded as a project brought by the giant Buddha.

Shaanxi's GDP of more than 500 billion yuan in 2007 will be less than 700 billion this year. What is the concept of investing 30 billion?

Damn, luckily it’s now. If it had been more than ten years later, Chang’an’s GDP alone would have exceeded one trillion, and the effect would have been reduced by how much!

Gu Ming put his legs on the table and pressed the dial button.

You have to finalize the land first!

As for building any kind of building in his hometown, whoever asked the Qin, Han and Tang Dynasties to establish their capital in Guanzhong would accidentally dig up ancient tombs.

Gu Ming also had to use his memory to choose a piece of land where he had never heard of an ancient tomb in his previous life.

As soon as the other party heard that he wanted to invest tens of billions, he immediately decided to have an interview.

Gu Ming also went back to Chang'an. After staying for a few days, he roughly agreed on the matter and had a good idea. The rest of the matter was left to the people in the company to advance it.

……

Beijing.

Gu Ming lay on the boss's chair and took the time to look at his stocks in the US and Hong Kong stocks.

Apple and Amazon may have experienced some declines due to the impact of the financial crisis.

Penguin doesn’t have the same momentum anymore, but there are also companies that have just gone public and are worth more than ten times. Just what they hold is worth tens of billions.

Moreover, these stocks will fly into the sky immediately.

"Not bad! Not bad!"

This is the confidence that I dare to make such a large investment!

Gu Ming looked like an old farmer. He looked at the leeks growing well in the field, nodded with satisfaction, turned off the computer, put his hands behind his head, and played a tune happily.

"Ask if this mountain is the highest in the world."

"Haha, haha, maybe there is another place higher than the sky."

"Haha! Ha!" A rough voice caught Gu Ming's singing, and the door opened, revealing a face with a monkey face and a pair of big ears.

It was Jiang Wen.

"I heard your singing from outside!"

"How was your singing?"

"One word, absolutely!" Jiang Wen didn't know whether he was flattering or sincere, but he gave Gu Ming a thumbs up, "You shouldn't be a director! You should be a singer."

"By then there will be nothing to do with Jay Chou."

"Okay, I'm sure you're flattering me." Gu Ming opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wen with a smile, "Are you Ma Bond?"

"it's me."

Jiang Wen laughed and sat opposite Gu Ming.

"Speaking of which, Lao Gu! You've been really busy lately."

"I looked for you several times but couldn't find you. Today I finally met the rightful owner."

"Is this the best director planning public relations?"

"What's going on?" Gu Ming asked with a smile.

"I'm jealous, what else can I do?" Jiang Wen didn't express his inner thoughts at all.

He is really envious.

He has always thought that Jiang Wen was a talented director.

In his early thirties, he released his directorial debut "Sunny Days", which shocked the entire domestic film industry and left a name in the three major European film circles.

But the more he saw the young man in front of him, the more he felt envious and helpless.

It seems that Gu Ming is not as old as he was when he made his first movie, right?

The three major European Grand Slams were won and the fourth one was won.

It also won the Oscar for Best Picture twice.

Now, there is only one Oscar left for Best Director.

Not to mention the box office, the total box office of billions of dollars is even a fraction higher than mine!

It's really annoying to compare people to each other.

How could such a perversion occur?

Jiang Wen glanced at Gu Ming sideways.

"I'll go, what a look!" Gu Mingle said happily, "I won't invest in your next film."

"Hey, this is what you said!"

Jiang Wen raised his eyebrows, "I'm not bragging, this time "Let the Bullets Fly" will definitely be no problem! It will definitely be a big hit, and the box office will be a big hit by then. People who want to invest in me can line up from here to Guomao."

"And it will definitely not be banned!"

Jiang Wen couldn't help but grin.

He had been banned many times, but this time, he was 100% confident.

So, before Gu Ming could ask, he couldn't help but brag, "Someone came to visit my crew. Let's see who dares to ban him!"

"By the way, I have something to tell you."

Jiang Wen lowered his voice and said, "I told the visiting person about the glasses, and he said it was no problem. If I had known, I wouldn't have listened to you. I always feel a little regretful in my heart."

"Defects are the beauty." Gu Ming poured a glass of water, "You better stop tempting me to commit suicide."

"By the way, you came to me because you finished filming "Let the Bullets Fly"?"

"The filming is over." Jiang Wen smiled mysteriously, "What do you think if I release it on Christmas this year?"

"No, don't let me, Daystar, fight within me." Gu Mingle said, "Our Daystar's new movie "Despicable Me" will be released simultaneously in China and the United States before Christmas. If you bump into it, you will only lose both sides!"

"It's just a cartoon."

"That's it?" Gu Ming didn't want to speak anymore.

Since "Lotus Lantern", how many years has it been difficult for domestic animated films to get any decent box office?

If "Despicable Me" can achieve good box office success in the United States, it will definitely be a groundbreaking first for the country.

At that time, it will definitely be able to support the domestic box office.

In the hearts of young people, it must be a model for the rise of Chinese comics.

Children can also watch it. What potential is there?

Why should I put two films together to make a lot of money when I can make a lot of money from both.

"Wait! Something's wrong!"

Gu Ming looked Jiang Wen up and down, "I really don't care when films other than those directed by me are released, but why haven't I seen too many reports about "Let the Bullets Fly" online?"

"It doesn't look like an upcoming movie!"

"And you can finish the film so quickly?"

"I do not believe!"

"I don't believe it!" (End of chapter)
