Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 366 Take the initiative to come to the door
"What a pity! He is too old now."

"You think about it, you want to act like a philistine."

"It's up to you to think about it. I think I will choose the protagonist Hu Bayi." Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "I think your company's Chen Kun is quite suitable."

Zhang Yimou also wants to win some overseas box office.

Although Chen Kun is not as popular as those actresses, he is still with "Now You See Me" and is more or less attractive. Although he is far behind Li Lianlian and Jackie Chan, those two I can’t play this role either! Compared to others, it couldn't be more appropriate.

"can."

"The big gold tooth is Xia Yu." Based on his feeling, Gu Ming felt that the big gold tooth in "Jingjue Ancient City" in his previous life was also good, but he really wasn't very famous, and now his fame is even less, almost None, for the box office, this young actor is pretty good.

"Fat man is looking for Huang Bo. All three of them are quite famous, and two of them have box office appeal. They are all here!" Zhang Yimou clapped his hands excitedly.

At the same time, I felt relieved.

Although it is said that after joining Venus, Gu Ming will arrange actors, but why do most of the young and well-known actors work in Venus? It is almost like auditioning in the circle.

"The last one, actress Shirley Yang, who?" Gu Ming asked, muttering to himself, "This character should preferably be of mixed race, and have a strong and sexy look."

"Is there a Kelly Hu over there in Hollywood?"

"Are you too old?" Gu Ming frowned, "He was 68 years old, he is already forty."

"Then tell me, who should I choose?"

"I'll look for it again."

"Okay, give me news when you find it."

Zhang Yimou took the script and left with satisfaction.

Gu Ming held his chin and started thinking, who else is there?

Li Meiqi? Dump the woman from Wu Yan's group?

It’s not very appropriate. After all, I don’t have any Chinese ancestry. This film “Ghost Blowing the Lamp” aims to win some overseas box office, but it is still based on the domestic film market!
Find a South Vietnamese.

Whether the audience accepts it or not is another matter.

Then let Lu Jing delete it.

Gu Ming called Huo Wenxi on Hong Kong Island, "I need your help to find someone, my name is Lu Jingxuan. Her father is an American, but he mainly works in Hong Kong movie tickets. He has acted in "Snake Diao Diao" hand"."

"No problem, leave it to me." When he said that he was a foreigner and had acted in Jackie Chan's "Snake", it would be much easier to find. Huo Wenxi agreed wholeheartedly.

……

Perhaps it is because the influence of having Zhang Yimou under his command is too great, or perhaps it is because after he released the news that "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" will be adapted into a 3D version of the movie, plus the previous "Gravity" and "Taking the Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" News, and "Avatar", a box office success, Gu Ming did not expect that he would attract another director.

He found the morning star on his own.

Gu Ming was sitting in Venus' office that day.

Liu Yan came in, "Mr. Gu, Xu Ke wants to see you outside."

"Xu Ke from Hong Kong Island?"

"It's him."

"Oh……"

Gu Ming raised his eyebrows, wondering what Xu Ke wanted to do with him.

Are you trying to steal the director of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom"?

That is impossible to agree to.

Even though Gu Ming was not a gentleman, he would not do such a thing as eating and vomiting, so it was all arranged for Gu Changwei. There was no way to change the director halfway.

Of course, thinking about it, it was not such an unreasonable request, so Gu Ming nodded, "Let him come in."

After a while, a strange-looking man walked in.

The person who came was none other than Old Monster Xu.

"Director Gu, I have admired you for a long time!" "Director Xu, welcome, are you here?"

"I won't waste Mr. Gu's time. Let's get straight to the point. As you know, I filmed "Longmen Inn" and it was very successful. I have an idea to remake "Longmen Inn" and make it into a 3D version. I don't know. Mr. Gu, do you have any intention to cooperate?"

"I'm sure there is, but I don't know your budget?" Gu Ming asked tentatively.

Xu Ke stretched out four fingers.

"Forty million dollars?" This figure is acceptable. After all, we want to make a 3D version, and we have to hire some big names. The investment is too small to make it possible.

"Four hundred million yuan."

It's better to leave without sending it away.

Gu Ming almost blurted out.

Four hundred million, you really dare to ask.

Now the RMB is around 6.6 against the U.S. dollar, so 400 million RMB is equivalent to 60 million U.S. dollars.

Seemingly seeing Gu Ming's resistance, Xu Ke immediately said, "It's definitely worth the money. I plan to invite Li Lianjie and Chen Kun for one man and two men. Female Weekly News, this card is worth it even in Hollywood." It’s not too low.”

"Their salary alone is even 30 million US dollars, so I'm afraid they won't be able to afford it!" Gu Ming smacked his lips.

You must know that Li Lianlian in his previous life paid 12 million US dollars.

In this life, there will be more. I still have the "John Wick" series in hand. To make other movies, 20 million US dollars is the basic price.

I already paid a lot for "John Wick".

This "New Longmen Inn" might even have to be divided into shares.

As for Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, they are both family members after all, and Gu Ming doesn't care about paying such a salary.

"It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it!" Xu Ke guided, "The reason why there is such a high salary is not because the films they star in can sell box office and foreign copyrights."

"But "The Promise" has closed the door on the way for costume films to take out box office abroad!"

If others don’t know, you don’t know yet.

Xu Ke's "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" didn't sell much at the box office abroad, even with Li Lianlian.

The global box office was US$1.02 million, or RMB million, but the domestic box office only took in RMB million. The foreign box office was better than nothing!

"You have to know that for a cost of 400 million, I need a box office of 1 billion to make it back. Even if I can sell some overseas, if it doesn't sell much, it will take 800 million to make it back. I think you can consider replacing Li Lianlian. ."

"Who?"

"Liang Jiahui, the original version of Zhou Huaian is so good. It's cheap and can attract a wave of emotional fans!"

Anyway, the original movie was a hit because of the studio, but in China, Chen Kun and Zhou Xun alone were enough to attract box office, so there was really no need to spend 20 million US dollars to find Li Lianlian.

In this way, the pressure to repay the capital is suddenly reduced a lot.

"But, in that case, the overseas copyright will be..."

You can't put your hope in something that doesn't have much.

"In short, I hope to use Liang Jiahui from the perspective of a producer. This is more suitable. You can also consider it carefully."

Gu Ming's meaning couldn't be clearer.

If you are still obsessed with using Li Lianlian, then you should hire someone else.

I'm too lazy to invest. The cost of 400 million is just to lose money.

Besides, when you come to see me, you don’t want to be named a producer so that you can sell more box office and other copyrights.

After all, the movies he produces are well-known both at home and abroad.

Whose food you eat must listen to your advice.
