Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

So, what are the films that will win both Best Director and Best Actor in the future?

Gu Ming recalled it in his mind.

2011 Oscar, "The King's Speech", best picture, best director, best actor trinity.

In 2012, "The Artist" also won all three awards.

In 2016, "The Revenant", which helped Leonardo DiCaprio realize his dream, won both Best Director and Best Actor.

Then, it was gone.

In order to ensure that his films would have inherent advantages, Gu Ming chose among these three films.

Since it’s just to be on the safe side, let’s exclude “The Revenant” first. Who could have two awards that are better than it?

Filming "The Artist"?

I have to say that this film is indeed likely to win an Oscar.

This is a black-and-white silent film that reminds the old Oscar judges of the Golden Age of Hollywood. It was simply born to compete for awards at places like the Oscars!

Maybe the audience doesn't like to watch black and white silent movies anymore, but it can be used to improve one's own style, which is perfect.

but……

Audiences don't like to watch it, and even if they do, they only watch it for the reputation.

Not to mention the domestic audience, Hollywood still has memories of its golden age. In the domestic film industry, who will remember the silent film era? In this case, it would be a bit damaging to make this film!

If you have no choice, just shoot.

But don’t I still have a choice?

Gu Ming took out his pen and wrote "The King's Speech".

There are many awards and the box office is not bad. It has a global box office of more than 400 million. For this kind of drama, it can be said to be quite outstanding.

Another point.

This is also the script that I prepared in advance in order to win the Oscar.

However, in order to nip it in the bud, I only wrote a general outline and did not write down the specific content.

As for whether it will be plagiarized.

It doesn't matter!

Who knew that Sophia already knew how to spend a lot of money, and Gu Ming's feature films were also number one in the world, so she got the authorization.

Exclusive authorization, don’t be afraid of this.

Now is the time to write a specific script and treat it as the last work to compete for Oscars.

Gu Ming immediately started writing in a rustling manner.

This film tells the story of the Queen's father, King George VI, who stuttered. After a series of training, he successfully overcame his stuttering and then delivered his famous Christmas speech during World War II.

While Gu Ming was writing, Yan Danchen was watching quietly from the side.

Wait until Gu Ming finishes writing.

Yan Danchen nodded silently, "I've heard about him."

"Is this a new movie you're planning to make?"

"The biopic is such an inspiring biopic, and with the identity of the prototype, I feel that this film will be more popular at the Oscars."

"I hope that's the case. This is my last impact. If it doesn't work, that's it." Gu Ming said solemnly.

"If this fails, will you never go to the Oscars again?"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Ming shook his head, "I'm not stupid. I spend public relations money on going to the Oscars. Even if I don't win an award and am only nominated, I can still make a small profit. I can earn both fame and money. Why not?"

"What I mean is that I won't make movies specifically to win Best Director. From now on, I can do whatever I want and make whatever I want."

"Make a TV series?" Yan Danchen asked.

"Kill me." Gu Ming rolled his eyes, "Then I will be infamous."

Besides, Gu Ming couldn't think of any TV series worth filming. Unless all three bodies are filmed, not just the first one.

But how much does it cost, and are the special effects enough?

Speaking of which, if it were to be filmed, Yuanyuan could play Cheng Xin!

wrong.

No TV series can be filmed. At most, it would be interesting to have a producer attached.

I only make movies, and I can’t lose the quality.

"Hahaha, just kidding." Yan Danchen smiled and continued seriously, "Your protagonist is George VI. Should the hero and heroine be gay?"

"I have my own plan!" In terms of image, Sean Penn is indeed not as good as the leading actor in his previous life, Colin Firth. He is a gay man from England, born in China, and is 1.87 meters tall.

But the purpose is not to combine swords with Sean Penn and win an Oscar.

The leading actor has already been decided, so I can only silently say sorry to Colin Firth.

First "Kingsman" and then "The King's Speech".

It cannot be said that he is bald, but he still looks like a Mediterranean.

Moreover.

Sean Penn's image is not much different, right? If his image is bad, how can he achieve the results of his previous life?

Madonna, both were married for the first time.

Robin White, Forrest Gump's favorite in "Forrest Gump".

Black Widow Scarlett Johansson.

Charlize Theron.

Finally, he found a wife who was 22 years his junior, the daughter of the villain in "Jurassic World".

Although Hollywood is indeed quite chaotic, to be able to do this, he can't be an ugly person. He is not Harvey, who has such a huge influence.

And in terms of height, George VI is 1.75 meters and Sean Penn is 1.73 meters. He is the closest one.

but……

"Since I've chosen an American for the male lead, I'd rather find an Englishman for the heroine and queen."

"Kate?" Yan Danchen suggested.

"What Kate, that's called shredded pork." Gu Ming nodded, "Just try to find him."

There are many gay actresses in England, but when I think of the more noble and younger ones, I still can't help but think of Kate Winslet.

It just so happens that she just won an Oscar for Best Actress, so she can also add to the film's reputation.

Anyway, the salary of actresses and actors cannot be compared. Even a new actress can definitely get it for less than 10 million.

It doesn’t cost much more.

It is impossible for Gu Ming to spend only 15 million US dollars like "The King's Speech" in his previous life. Such a small cost is too risky.

Now I have passed the time when I need to take risks. If I am upright, I can win. What a surprise!

Even the second male lead Gu Ming is ready to give him the entire big name.

Robert De Niro.

After recalling the famous actor he worked with in "Joker" last time, Gu Ming felt that they were very comfortable working together and decided to work together again!

I immediately called the other party, who just heard that Gu Ming was going to make a new movie, so he agreed with a smile.

Didn't ask any more questions.

As for Kate Winslet, Gu Ming called Leonardo DiCaprio and asked for the other party's number before broadcasting it.

After listening to Gu Ming's general story, I was very interested, but I needed to read the script first.

As for Sean Penn, he came directly to Gu Ming's company after a phone call.

With a full smile on his face, "I want to take a closer look and see what the script is about that can make you and I become legends." (End of Chapter)
