Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"The King's Speech" was scheduled by Gu Ming to premiere in North America on the evening of December 13th, and then begin full release.

This time is considered.

Ahead of time, by the time the film is scheduled to be released, the Oscar voting hasn’t even started yet.

That wouldn't be beautiful.

As for postponement...

It can't be any later.

If it's postponed again, "Avatar" will be released on December 18th.

In addition to wanting awards, Gu Ming also wants to win box office.

Although the film "The King's Speech" and the 3D film "Avatar" are not very powerful in grabbing the target audience.

but……

This is "Avatar". No matter what type of audience you are, the vast majority of the audience will probably go to the cinema to try it out.

After all, this is another innovation in film technology.

Regardless of whether the story of a ball-rapist may be a bit unpleasant to watch, it doesn't even have the connotation and humanistic flavor of "Titanic", but the picture is absolutely nothing to say.

More importantly, because of the momentum it created, everyone will be talking about the movie about a stuttering king, which is obviously falling behind.

It was released a few days in advance and "Avatar" has not yet been released. No one knows how far this 3D movie can go. Will it be the same as other so-called 3D movies?

In this case, relying on the reputation Gu Ming has accumulated in the United States, and the fact that this film is much more star-studded than in his previous life, it can at least be the best, letting those who like similar films know that there is such a film The film is released.

This was the last time Gu Ming specifically launched an attack on Oscar.

Gu Ming called over all the friends who still had some contact, especially those who were Oscar judges.

This film does not have so many climaxes, nor is it like "Joker" where people are suppressed and then released, which can easily arouse the audience's catharsis.

Therefore, the audience watching this film is relatively quiet.

It's like watching a movie peacefully at home.

But in the eyes of commentators and professionals, it's a different story.

This year is 09, and the Christmas speech to fight fascism happened exactly seventy years ago.

And this film obviously feels like a semi-biographical film.

The style is not that of the top three in Europe, it still has the feel of chicken soup slices.

This kind of movie is the favorite of the old white male judges!

"The person who came here is evil!"

"This is specifically for the Oscar." The professionals glanced subconsciously at Gu Ming and Sean Penn, who was sitting next to Gu Ming.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

interesting.

Two people who were stuck in the Grand Slam by Oscar, work together to hit their own Grand Slam.

I don’t know who will succeed in the end?

After the screening, North American movie fans also expressed their thoughts on the Internet.

[I watched the premiere, and I personally don’t think it’s as good as Gu’s previous films such as “Green Book” and “The Intouchables.” But how can I put it, Gu’s lower limit is much better than many directors’ peaks. This film The soundtrack and acting are simply unexpectedly good. It may not be that exciting for you to watch, and it may not be that memorable for you, but it is definitely an excellent film. 】

[This is a good film, worth watching. 】

[Through this film, I can feel Gu's desire to challenge for the best director. I hope he can achieve his wish. He has directed so many excellent films and brought me a lot of happiness. He deserves this trophy. I also Hope to see what his production will be like without the pressure of the Grand Slam. 】

……

Gu Ming doesn't care much about the box office of this film.

But no matter what, it is also a work with a global box office of more than 400 million in its previous life. Being able to get this figure, in addition to publicity, also shows that it is liked by a large number of people.

And Gu Ming's fans are just right for him.

Therefore, the box office is not low.

The box office on the first day reached 10 million US dollars! In five days, he also made 45 million US dollars.

There is no big problem in breaking through 100 million in the end.

Even Hollywood has to admit that as long as Gu Ming's films are not Chinese-language literary films, they can really achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success!

However, soon everyone no longer focused on "The King's Speech".

Since "Titanic" crashed the film market in countless countries, James Cameron's new film, which he has been working on for several years, has finally been unveiled.

Yan Danchen was in China, and the students hadn't had a complete vacation yet, and it was about time to work on her graduation project, so she couldn't leave without him.

Jin Suo was quite free and found Gu Ming again.

So, Gu Ming went to the theater with her, put on 3D glasses, and watched the newly released "Avatar".

Even if I have already seen it in my previous life and watched many 3D movies.

But when watching it again, Gu Ming was quite emotional. Some directors use photography, color, narrative structure, etc. to promote the development of movies.

But these things have almost been innovated to death by those old directors.

Maybe there is only one sunglasses king among those who are still young now.

In the previous life of "Moonlight Boy", it was obvious that he learned the light and shadow composition of Sunglasses King and so on.

And Truck Driver uses technology forcefully, pushing the movie one step further!

"This movie!" Jin Suo took off his glasses after watching it and returned to the car, and said in a daze, "The Pandora planet in it is quite beautiful, the movie effect..."

"I feel like it's a big ship again!"

"Director Gu, your "Gravity" is also in 3D!" Jin Suo was a little regretful, "It would be great if I were as old as Sister Bingbing! I can also fight for that film."

"..." Gu Ming was speechless.

Are you praising me, or are you trying to bury a thorn in my side?

Then why did you reveal the news to Li Bingbing in the first place.

Gu Ming glanced at Jin Suo and said nothing.

In the flash of lightning, Gu Ming thought of something, which he saw on the Internet.

It is said that some domestic first-line stars have established personal studios.

Look at Jinsuo again. Wasn't he the first person to set up a personal studio in his previous life?

It was established in 07.

Maybe it’s because my resources are really good.

No one, whether it was Jin Suo or the other actors of Day Star, set up any studio, and no one made trouble.

But Gu Ming knew in his heart.

It can't be suppressed for much longer.

When you see others having a good time, being a boss, and paying less taxes, you are obviously more famous and have more works, so why is it that you are still an employee?

How long can Gu Ming, a great director, keep the carrot hanging?

Yes, even if he could hang it, Gu Ming was ultimately incapable of doing all the work. Making one film a year would be considered a high output, but he could only try to get as much rain and dew as possible, but it couldn't be truly fair.

It is conceivable that some people will be dissatisfied.

As more stars open personal studios, dissatisfaction will grow.

In this case, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the contract is still in your hands, the company will invest in the shares, and let people who want to go out and open a studio go along with the situation. In this way, you can also take the initiative.

It can also reduce the internal friction of who should be used and who should not be used in filming.

Well, let's do it.

Nodding secretly, Gu Ming looked at Jinsuo seriously, "Have you ever thought about becoming your own boss?" (End of Chapter)
