Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 36 New Movie Planning
"Forehead……"

This number sounds quite large at first glance.

I can buy several large square meters of houses in the capital.

But I am afraid of thinking carefully about everything.

Thinking about it, Han Sanpin could only nod.

"It's not excessive, it's a very reasonable number."

There is still nothing to say about Gu Ming's earning ability.

The 80 yuan invested by Beijing Film Studio ended up with a net profit of more than 1000 million yuan.

This is his political achievement.

"Fireworks in the Day" is a modern film, and with the reputation of "Burning" as the Palme d'Or and the box office that has now slowly climbed to 400 million, advertising alone may be able to recover most of the investment cost.

It can be said to be an almost risk-free investment.

If it weren't for China Film's transcendent status, it would be difficult for other companies to come in and take advantage of the company.

"Then how much share are you going to give China Film? I will eat as much as you have."

"15.00%." ​​Gu Ming tried.

"Is it too low? You didn't just give me this much at Beijing Film Studio, just 30.00%."

"No, there are too many companies. We have to leave something for our Venus!" Han Sanpin also wanted to try to make a commercial film by himself, but Gu Ming decisively decided to hold on to 15.00%.

Han Sanpin kept falling over there.

It dropped to 20.00%.

Contribution of 160 million.

Gu Ming felt that this share was about the same, and it was considered to be his psychological bottom line.

But this cannot be shown, showing a reluctant look.

"Okay, Mr. Han, let me compress the shares of Beijing Film Studio and West Film Studio."

As for your share.

That is absolutely impossible to compress!
Unless Venus cannot come up with the money, its share will exceed 50.00%. This is Gu Ming's insistence.

"You kid, okay, go and get busy. Remember, you should also think about what kind of commercial film you want to make when you have time."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Smiling and making a salute, Gu Ming took the script and left China Film.

I immediately drove to Beijing Film Studio and took a trip to Qingying Film Studio.

Beijing Film Studio invested 80 yuan, giving them 40%, and Qingying Film Studio invested 5.00 yuan, giving them a [-]% share.

Not much.

But also score.

With Beijing Film Studio, you will have an extra guarantee if you pass the review.

As for Qingying Film Studio, after all, I am still a student at the school, so if I let them make some money, the directing students at the school can also make more films in the future.

Not only to help the school, but also for the future development of the company.

School days are a time of innocence.

After they graduate, under the same conditions, wouldn't working with Daystar naturally become their first choice?

Even if this effect is not achieved, the connections of the teachers in the school can still be used.

The teacher connects with students from generation to generation.

It is no exaggeration to say that Nortel graduates can be found in half of the film and television industry.

These will probably bring you benefits covering this 5.00% share.

As for the Xiying Studio, leave some as well.

After all, my father's position had just been promoted, but I didn't go there in person. I called my father and told him to talk to the leaders of Xiying Studio. As for the [-]% share, there was no second option.

The call came back soon.

The other side agreed to this share.

Such a point.

I still have 50.00% of the share left in my hand.

It can't be divided any more.

Gu Ming then returned to Daystar and came to Li Xiaoping's office. "Don't accept any more requests to invest in my new film. I will give you another task to find advertisers."

The last film "Burning" won the Berlin Jury Prize because Gu Ming was not well-known. He did not receive any advertising money. The most they accepted was to sponsor the items used in the filming.

But this time is different.

It just won the Palme d'Or, and its box office performance has reached more than 3000 million, and it still ranks first in this year's box office list.

Except for some necessary items, if you want your product to be included in the video, you will have to pay for it.Whoever pays will show up.

"I'll make a list for you right now!"

When it came to money, Gu Ming was so motivated that he asked Li Xiaoping for a pen and started writing on her desk, "Clothes, cars, motorcycles, mobile phones..."

The image of the film is in my mind.

Gu Ming listed all the products that appeared in front of the camera.

"Go find it. Besides, we don't accept any requests for individual close-ups, no matter how much you pay."

Give the list to Li Xiaoping.

Gu Ming returned to his office.

While lying on the bed, I called the actors I thought I needed.

The first one is Zhou Xun, the heroine, Wu Zhizhen, there is no doubt about this.

The only thing that needs to be considered is that "Jinpin Family" is about to start filming.

But it’s our own drama anyway, so let the crew film other people’s scenes first.

Zhou Xun had to go to Harbin, where he was going to film, in advance to experience life and get into the role.

The second one is Duan Long, who was asked to play Wu Zhizhen's husband who is nominally a "dead man". "New Shanghai Beach" also filmed other people's scenes first.

As for the rest of the supporting cast, it's easy to choose.

Mainly highlight a person who has acting skills but not good looks.

As for why you should choose someone who looks average or even rough, it's very simple.

Because Zhou Xun is not [-]% beautiful, I want to make him [-]% beautiful, just like Gui Lunmei in the previous life in this film, firstly, relying on acting skills, and secondly, relying on other actors.

Beauty or not is all determined by comparison.

The other actors all chose rough men and not-so-good-looking women.

That weekly news will look particularly beautiful.

Only in this way can the final choice of the male protagonist Zhang Zili be more interesting.

Speaking of the male protagonist.

Gu Ming was stunned.

The male protagonist of this film should be a 40-year-old guy with average looks and a bit of evil vibe at first glance.

Who to choose?
Liao Fan, the male protagonist of this film in his previous life?
Unrealistic.

He is still a young man in his 20s now. If he were ten years older, he would still be able to consider it.

Jiang Wen?

This was the second name that popped into Gu Ming's mind.

In terms of appearance, he is indeed a very suitable actor to play the leading actor Zhang Zili.

But as soon as he thought of him, Gu Ming shook his head and rejected him.

Not to mention that the other party is still filming "The Devil Is Coming" and there is no schedule.

Let's talk about his temper. He dared to quarrel with Xie Jin even when he was working with him at a young age. He also quarreled non-stop with Zhang Yimou.

This guy has so many ideas.

I am so young. After filming "Fireworks in the Day", I wonder if my surname is Gu or Jiang?

Don't end up with Riku Taro when the time comes.

Even if he could be replaced, it would be a waste of time.

What about Liang Jiahui from Hong Kong Island?

He has acting skills, and he can show off his evil nature, but his accent is destined to be dubbed.

However, Zhang Zili in this film is a character who can challenge the actor.

After using dubbing, you still want to win the Best Actor Award?

Go to sleep.

"Who are you looking for?"

Gu Ming closed his eyes, and the actors he could name flashed through his mind one by one.

"Have it!"

A few minutes later, Gu Ming suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.

"He will definitely have no problem playing Zhang Zili."

"Furthermore, I have only met Gong Li once. Whether Gong Li will betray his face at the film festival is another matter. In addition to his words, this "Fireworks in the Day" will lose Gong Li's face. Will suffice."
