Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Watching Gu Ming and Zhang Yimou sign the contract on the stage.

The reporters in the audience had the same idea: Daystar was too powerful.

If we had to name the directors in China now, Daystar would definitely account for three of the top five.

Gu Ming, Zhang Yimou, one and two, and Gu Changwei are not weaker than Feng Pants in terms of box office and awards.

Among commercial film directors, there are also Ning Hao and Guo Fan.

These are all directors who have directed more than one movie that grossed over 100 million yuan.

Seeing Gu Ming smiling and shaking hands with Zhang Yimou, some reporters thought of Wei Wu and Cao Cao for some unknown reason.

Of course, it's not because Gu Ming likes other people's wives as much as Cao Cao.

We, Director Gu, don’t have that kind of woman who is rumored to have scandals.

Simply, I feel that Gu Ming looks like Cao Cao before the Battle of Chibi.

There are six out of nine states in the world. Who can win?
Today's Daystar, in domestic film and television companies, also feels lonely and seeking defeat.

While Huayi, who ranked second, was still struggling to support himself with director Feng Pants, Daystar had already sorted out the age group.

The reporters were shocked and Gu Ming was also very satisfied.

After the signing ceremony, the right to speak was given to reporters.

"Director Gu, do you think Director Zhang made a serious mistake? Why did you still sign him?"

"He has already paid tens of millions in fines, and he took the initiative to plead guilty. It is fair to avoid past mistakes and save others, rather than beating people to death with one shot. The most important thing for a director is to make good-looking movies."

"But everyone thinks "Three Guns" is not very good, right?"

"Then it depends on who you work with." Gu Ming raised his chin confidently, "There is also a gap between producers and producers. I have been in Hollywood and I know the role of a producer very well. He doesn’t understand anything, and meddling randomly will only cause a director to make a film that is not up to his standards.”

"Are you talking about Zhang Weiping?"

"I'm talking about the matter. Who am I talking about? It's your own guess." Gu Ming smiled, but this was actually no different from pointing at the nose.

As a producer who completely disappeared from the film and television industry after leaving Zhang Yimou, Gu Ming was not afraid of offending him at all.

Besides, signing Zhang Yimou had already offended Zhang Weiping, and he didn't care if he offended him more.

Squeeze out his use value.

"Mr. Zhang said that Zhang Yimou would never succeed after leaving him. What do you think of this?"

"Let's wait and see." Gu Ming responded domineeringly. He put his hands on the table and stood up. His eyes scanned the reporters in front of him. "In fact, there is no need to wait. Before Director Zhang and Zhang Weiping cooperated, Director Zhang He is already famous all over the country, but what about Mr. Zhang at that time? Was he really famous in the film and television industry? Who is more important? I think everyone will find out soon!"

After saying these words, Gu Ming sat down and continued to ask reporters various questions.

……

After the press conference.

Gu Ming called Zhang Yimou to his office and got straight to the point.

"Do you have any ideas for a new film? Get involved as soon as possible and isolate yourself from recent public opinion. By the time the film is finished, everyone will have almost forgotten about it. With so many headlines every year, who has the time to focus on one thing all the time? ah!"

"I do have an idea." Zhang Yimou smiled and took out a script. "I have already written it. Please show me what needs to be modified."

"Oh?" Gu Ming took it over and looked at it. He felt that he didn't need to read the script anymore. It was "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree".

"I've read this novel." Gu Ming said while flipping through the script to show his dignity.

"I want to make a movie about our love at that time." Zhang Yimou smiled implicitly, "I have been shooting commercial movies in recent years, and I am a little tired. I want to make a simple movie to experience the beauty. ." "I support you." Gu Ming nodded, "It's easy to find a male lead, but it's hard to find a female lead!"

"I want to find someone with no acting experience to play the female lead. It would be best to audition."

"can."

After all, they had just cooperated, so Gu Ming would not refuse such a small request.

But Gu Ming also gave him a new task.

"Director Zhang, do you have any idea to try the latest 3D movie?" He opened the drawer, took out a script and slapped it on the table.

"I have also prepared a script. Do you want to film it? If you are willing, I will leave it to you. If not, I will find someone else."

"I'll read the script first."

Zhang Yimou picked up the script and looked at the name first.

""The Ghost Blowing Lamp: The Secret of Searching for the Dragon"."

"I've heard of it." Zhang Yimou smacked his lips, "It seems like an online novel about tomb robbing?"

"Yes."

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp" appears again.

Gu Ming was quite conscientious. After discovering that this novel had been written, he paid 200,000 yuan, which was double the amount compared to his previous life, and obtained the rights to adapt it for film, television, games, etc.

That’s not too little.

These days, the film and television rights to this kind of novel are really not worth much.

It's not as expensive as the copyrights of youth novels brought about by Daystar's youth films.

Moreover, Gu Ming also promised to make his first movie within ten years.

Not to mention how happy the author is when he sells the copyright.

After all, by the time the movie comes out, if it becomes a hit, his worth will skyrocket.

In my previous life, the director of this film was Wu'er Eel. I had an average impression of it, and the actors on hand were good enough to meet their national requirements, so I didn't have any idea of ​​using him.

Now that Zhang Yimou is under his command, it would be perfect for him to handle such a big-scene film.

"I think this kind of film is quite exciting. Not to mention the fan base of novels, tomb-robbing adventure films have always been in line with the tastes of many viewers, from the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series in the last century to the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series at the turn of the century. From "The Mummy" to "Tomb Raider", with Director Zhang's ability to control the picture, if you shoot it, it will definitely be a big hit!"

Zhang Yimou originally wanted to refuse.

I feel like it's a bit of a downgrade.

But when Gu Ming's "Raiders of the Lost Ark" came out, he thought that the director of this series was Spielberg, and Zhang Yimou felt that there was nothing wrong with making a film like this.

Plus this month, Gu Ming has really helped him a lot.

He nodded and agreed, "I'll make some preliminary plans first, and after the filming of "Hawthorn Tree Love" is completed, I will immediately invest in the production of this 3D movie."

After saying that, Zhang Yimou started reading the script.

After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Gu Ming.

"Do you have any recommendations for actors?" After all, this is a commercial film, and the films produced by Gu Ming have never had the same reputation as "Three Guns". Zhang Yimou trusts Gu Ming.

"The big gold tooth in the Iron Triangle. If Feng Pants were ten years younger, I think he would be quite suitable." (End of Chapter)
