Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 346 Prepare in advance

"Really?"

Han Sanpin was overjoyed at first.

But the next second, he realized that this was a strange act.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "Explosion, is that what you mean?"

"That's what it means."

"I understand." Han Sanpin nodded, but then he was still a little reluctant, "Can we make a small loss? You also know the special nature of our China Film Group. As long as we make a big investment and make a small loss, it is a profit for me."

"Big loss."

Gu Ming took a breath, "Ninety percent! The total box office cannot exceed the production cost."

"If you are willing to vote, I'm afraid it will end up being even worse than "The Promise" back then."

"The subject matter should be limited first. Don't expect European and American box office. No one is willing to let you earn distribution shares. If you sell the copyright, will Wu Baige win any major awards at international film festivals?"

"It seems not." Han Sanpin laughed, "I understand, then we at China Film Group will just be happy with it."

"After all, it's a domestic blockbuster, so we can't help but not vote for it."

"There's nothing you can do about it. Your identity determines your status. You can't just sit back and watch!"

"Understood, understood!" Gu Ming nodded.

After all, the present cannot be compared with future generations.

After all, the domestic market has still not developed. Even if our own company can produce box office hits every year, our company still cannot compete with the entire Hollywood!

In the domestic film market, that beast occupies a large share, and China Film Group must always be aware that most of the market is swallowed up by it.

The company behind Han Sanpin cannot be ignored in blockbuster films where major directors have increased investment. This is not just a matter of money.

"Okay, stop on the side of the road and I'll go back in my car."

"Hurry up and pull it down. We're already here, why are we still taking a train?" Gu Ming sent Han Sanpin to his house, and then returned to Ziyu Villa.

……

In the next time, Gu Ming will be able to relax a little more.

The first step is to take a week's rest at home and work hard on farming like an old man, hoping to plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest a grain in winter.

Even two or three.

After taking a week's rest, Gu Ming began to focus his energy on his career.

Sitting in Daystar's office, I took the report and started reading it.

See if you can spot any big problems.

After all, I am basically only responsible for the company's strategy, and Li Xiaoping still does the actual work.

You have to prevent the other party from feasting behind your back.

Once this happens, you have to take action yourself.

If it were another person, the company would at most be affected a little bit. While his strategic vision is still there, he could say anything.

As for the other party's snacks, then just turn a blind eye. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Who wouldn't want to share the shares? Since talent is something you can't be like Liu Bang, then you can only be like Zhao Kuangyin. .

After checking enough reports and confirming that there were no problems, Gu Ming called the person in charge of Daystar Cinemas.

After he arrives, get straight to the point.

"3D screen, you know that?"

"You know, there was a movie called "Journey to the Center of the Earth" last year, starring Brendan Fraser, the protagonist of "The Mummy", and there was a 3D version, so everyone was more or less on the 3D screen. "

"There are probably more than a hundred 3D screens in the country now, and we at Daystar also have about 3. Remember, Mr. Gu, you asked us to account for at least % of the domestic screens. Even if it is a D screen, we will always work hard. Follow the lead of the army.”

"Add 3D screens at a constant rate, and increase it to the point where every Daystar cinema chain has two or three 3D screens before the end of October." "Ah?" The other party was startled, "Isn't it a bit too much?"

"Ha." Gu Ming understood the other party's worries and asked with a smile, "Do you know James Cameron?"

"I know!"

"You mean that Avatar?"

"Yes." Gu Ming nodded, "You have to believe in James Cameron's use of new technologies. After all, he started out doing model special effects. This film is also trying new technologies. Let's not hurry up now and wait until the need arises. When the time comes, it’s time to line up.”

“Let’s 3D convert part of the screen in advance to nip problems in the bud.”

This is done not only to make more money for the theater chain, but also for my own "Gravity". When it is released, it will naturally achieve higher influence.

As for whether this will allow "Avatar" to make more money in China, this cannot be considered too carefully.

Anyway, the other party can earn more than ten percent of the box office, but it will take two years to wait for 25%.

And I also want to make money from the United States, and even more.

"I understand, I promise to complete the task!"

"Well, do your best and go get busy." Gu Ming waved his hand and let him leave.

Gu Ming was a little idle, so he simply started thinking about the TV drama market again.

Now I am promoting three young people.

Needless to say, Chen Bing has a heroine with high ratings and two more youth films with over 100 million yuan. It has temporarily broken away from the level of TV series.

Then only Song Tie and Jing Tian were left.

After thinking about the TV series of Song Tie's previous life, Gu Ming found that the one who impressed him most deeply was Yu Manli in "The Pretender".

This kind of character can be remembered deeply by the audience, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role, it would be a pity not to film it.

And now she has no idea whether she is worthy of the coffee position or not.

Gu Ming simply wrote the word "pretender".

It just so happened that Jing Tian was playing a supporting role in "To Youth" filmed with Song Tie, so he was going to be the protagonist this time.

I just happened to be able to wash my eyes after taking the photo.

Gu Ming felt a little uncomfortable when he thought of the heroine in that movie in his previous life.

It’s not that ugly, but most viewers’ outlook is based on their facial features. You created a character like Yu Manli before, and then you create a heroine like this, and you still create troubles from time to time. No. It's just to find people to dislike.

Jing Tian's facial features are much better than those of the original owner.

But in the original work, the heroine pokes Lou Zi from time to time, which is still a bit hurtful. When Gu Ming wrote the outline, he also strengthened her abilities, including a white moonlight and a cinnabar mole.

Instead of a white moonlight, a mosquito blood.

After writing an outline of several thousand words, Gu Ming gave the order.

……

Life, life is enough, and the company has taken a look at it.

Gu Ming then devoted his energy to "Gravity". He came to the studio of China Film Studio and started the preliminary preparations for "Gravity" with Guo Fan and other Hollywood workers, spending eight hours a day. Working hours, days off from time to time.

Time flies.

More than two months later, Gu Ming received the news that the preliminary preparations for "The King's Speech" were completed, and Gu Ming was immediately ready to leave for England.
