Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 368 Entering the game
"Mr. Gu, okay, thank you for the compliment!"

Seeing Gu Ming come in, Yu Dong immediately stood up and stretched out his hand to Gu Ming with a smile.

I have to say that this man with a slightly chubby face still makes people feel comfortable when he smiles.

In addition, this is the game of Han's third-grade team.

Gu Ming naturally reached out to stop hitting the smiling man, "Where is it?"

"We have been partners for a long time. If a partner invites me, how can I not come?"

Daystar's large-scale productions, those with relatively long payback cycles, or films with low profit margins, are almost all financed productions. Yu Dong's Bona is also considered the number one in the film and television industry, and has a close relationship with Han Sanpin, Gu Ming Naturally, he will give him some points.

Although it's not much, it can't be compared with old friends like Yinghuang, but it's something.

So, it’s no problem to talk about being a partner.

Gu Ming said this to let him know that I don't have time to get angry over such a thing, so don't think too much about it!

"Yeah yeah!"

Yu Dong's smile became even brighter.

Of course, for safety reasons and for better production of the film, Yu Dong still maintained a humble attitude and toasted Gu Ming with a glass of wine before speaking.

"Mr. Gu, I won't hide it anymore."

"I'm looking for you today for one thing. You see, many of Daystar's big projects have taken us to Bona. I have never had anything to give back."

"I have a big project this time, and I want to work with Daystar. The remake of "Dragon Inn", "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", has a 30% share. What do you think?"

"Not very good." Gu Ming shook his head.

"This amount is already quite large." Han Sanpin tried to smooth things over, "We China Film Group will take 20%, and Bona plans to take 30%, and the remaining 20% ​​will be sold at a premium. .”

"It's not a question of how much." Gu Ming smiled bitterly, "Mr. Han, you are here too, so I will tell the truth."

"I am also a businessman!"

"If you don't want to cooperate with Xu Ke and me, it has nothing to do with turning around and cooperating with Mr. Yu."

"As a businessman, as long as you can make money, besides, if you don't look at the monk's face, you should still look at the Buddha's face." Gu Ming pointed at Han Sanpin.

"Therefore, there is only one reason for not being willing to invest, it is that you can't make money."

"Can't? That's Li Lianjie." Han Sanpin and Yu Dong both said in surprise.

"I've analyzed it for Director Xu, he just doesn't believe it." Gu Ming smiled and drank a glass of wine. "Of course, maybe I made a mistake."

"This..." Yu Dong was stunned.

Gu Ming said there was no money to be made.

With Daystar's arrogance of having a big business, it can make a profit if it can maintain its capital at the box office, and even a small loss can recover the cost.

If Gu Ming can even refuse, how much will it cost?

He originally wanted his old boss Han Sanpin to come forward and invite Li Lianjie to complete this big production with a production cost of 400 million.

But seeing Gu Ming's choice, he hesitated.

"What if we don't choose Li Lianjie and only use Zhou Xun and Chen Kun's words?"

"That shouldn't be a loss."

All of a sudden, the production cost of 130 million was saved, and the box office required to recover the cost dropped by 300 million.

The box office of about 600 million can almost make back the money.

This can still be done.

You can’t make too much, but you still make money after all.

"Then, can Mr. Gu let Chen Kun and Zhou Xun join this film? They also rejected the invitation."

"What? Is there such a thing?" Gu Ming frowned.

I guessed the reason why the two did this.

Then I can't be sorry for their efforts.

He asked for more points, and immediately said with a bitter look on his face, "If I had just said a word before, they would have given me this face."

"But now, I have just established the studio model and allowed them to operate independently. It has not been long ago."

"How dare you ask them to pick up a film they have already given up on!"

"People will say that I, Gu Ming, don't keep my word."

"You can't let your reputation be ruined like this!"

"..." Yu Dongda was speechless. Who doesn't know?

Chen Kun is your classmate and I have known him for more than ten years now.

Zhou Xun is almost the heroine of your literary films, and there have been scandals. If you say one thing, will they think you don't mean what you say?

Isn’t this nonsense?

My neighbor’s three-year-old didn’t believe it!
However, if a three-year-old child doesn't believe it, he has to act like he does.

"Thirty-five percent, I'll bother you, Mr. Gu."

"Just help him, just this time. It won't happen next time." Han Sanpin glanced at Gu Ming, "I owe you a favor."

That's not how favors are used!
Of course, Gu Ming also knew that Han Sanpin still wanted to have more domestic blockbusters, and he also wanted "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" to try to recreate the trend of costume films in the years of "Hero".

"Okay." Gu Ming smacked his lips, "Mr. Han has already spoken, so I reluctantly pulled off this old face and went to talk to them. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not!"

"I believe Mr. Gu can do it."

"In addition, there is another thing. The copyright is jointly owned. I can add my name to the producer and give some suggestions to the film."

Gu Ming wanted to get involved in the production of this film.

The plot is just that, a commercial film, as long as it's not too disgusting, it's fine.

The key is special effects production.

When I watched it in my previous life, I really liked Yuhuatian, but I really didn’t know how to complain about the special effects.

A little rough!
Can't you make it more precise?

If you have more budget, just add more, it will satisfy your wish.

Besides, if you budget more, everyone will have to pay for it, and it’s not just one person who has to pay for it.

"Okay!" Yu Dong agreed immediately.

For Yu Dong, this is not a requirement, but a benefit.

With Gu Ming as the producer, a movie is a golden brand, and selling tens of millions more is not a problem.

As for copyright…

That is just a nominal thing for the time being. Anyway, the profits within twenty years will be distributed to investors.

Yu Dong couldn't think about it that long.

"Then it's settled."

Yu Dong smiled and clinked glasses with Gu Ming.

After having enough wine and food, Gu Ming called Han Sanpin and said, "Old Han, I'm so proud of you! Please have a meal."

"Please please please, must please!"

……

After Daystar and Bona announced the joint production of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Liang Jiahui naturally accepted the re-sent invitation.

Two major projects were finalized at once.

Gu Ming fell into a state of emptiness again.

I always feel empty, and I don’t know why, but I don’t know what I have forgotten.

I looked through the Internet again and again.

When I saw a video website called Qiyi online, I immediately patted my head.

"Yup!"

“It’s time to enter the video website.”

Youku was launched in 06.

Qiyi, which was later renamed iQiyi, was also released.

In my previous life, Penguin Video will also be online next year!

The three major video software are all coming out, and I have to catch up.

After all, it is related to the great cause of the film and television industry!

"If I don't do this, I will be sorry for the fact that I have acquired more Internet copyrights for film and television dramas in advance than fake drugs!"

Starting from scratch, Gu Ming didn't have that idea, so he asked Li Xiaoping to find a way to make statistics on the video websites on the market, and planned to acquire one and change its name.
