Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Gu Ming was like an author who was urged by screenwriters and readers to make changes, finding various reasons to hold him back.

Feeling that Xiao Lizi was already depressed, Gu Ming said.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Keep it up, that's what this film needs."

"So, what is this movie about?" Xiao Lizi was still confused and said depressedly.

"I'm going to Los Angeles in a few days, and you'll know then."

"OK!" Xiao Lizi then hung up the phone with satisfaction.

……

Taking advantage of these days with Xiao Lizi in tow, Gu Ming even drew the rough shots.

After staying at home for another three days, I flew to Los Angeles.

This film will probably not make much money, and it will even need long-term income to recover the cost.

In addition, there is still a fight for the Best Actor, so Beidou Star Entertainment must choose to invest.

It is not only to reduce the risk, but also to tie the two parties to the chariot again. At least not to get in trouble with the Best Actor award.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Gu Ming called Xiao Lizi over.

"Hey, Gu, I miss you so much!"

As soon as Xiao Lizi entered the door, he gave Gu Ming a big hug.

"I have a feeling that if we work together this time, I will get the Oscar winner trophy!"

"Maybe it's because I sacrificed the Best Director trophy I wanted to win?" Gu Ming said with a smile.

"Haha, I have to apologize."

"Don't worry!" Gu Ming waved his hand.

If others don’t know it, why don’t you know it yourself?
Where is it so easy to win another Best Director award?
Unless you make a movie with a box office of over three billion dollars, and it can't be too simple, but has some depth, then don't even think about it.

It can be obtained in 10 years, but no one knows whether it has anything to do with the relationship between the two countries.

After all, hundreds of billions of dollars in U.S. Treasury bonds were purchased during the economic crisis.

It may not be reciprocation.

Therefore, this filming is simply to help Leo get a trophy. Firstly, to fulfill his promise and maintain his image as an honest and reliable young man. Secondly, it is also to show his ability to win people over. Finally, It’s a gift for yourself as a fan of art films.

Business, literature and art, both must be grasped, and both must be strong!
"Where's your script? I need to see what kind of movie it is. I need you to help me with my psychological construction. You don't even know how hard it is for me to wait."

"It's okay, the pain is still to come." Gu Ming has already thought about it. If Xiao Lizi can't reach the state he needs, then he will have to use the trump card of the Sunglasses King.

For example, Liang Chaowei was asked to eat 27 pears and 26 bowls of wontons.

It won’t shock you to the point where you doubt that life is a failure!

"Silk……"

Xiao Lizi had a bad premonition.

But in order to win the Best Actor Award and prove himself, he is fearless!

Let the storm come more violently!
After receiving the script, Xiao Lizi immediately frowned, "Manchester by the Sea?"

"Gu, if I remember correctly, Manchester doesn't seem to be on the coast."

"Who told you it was from Manchester, England?" Gu Ming took out a map of Massachusetts and pointed to Boston to the north.

"I'm talking about this town."

"It's called Manchester by the Sea."

"Oh?" Xiao Lizi looked down and said, "It's really that name."

"Gu, how did you find such a small town?"

"I heard by chance, don't you think the name of this town is quite romantic?"

"That's true." Xiao Lizi nodded and sat aside to read the script.

He was quite happy at first, thinking that Gu Ming had received the script tailor-made for him, but as he looked at it, his smile gradually disappeared. Watch until the end.

His face was expressionless.

I can’t tell whether it’s sadness or loss.

Just staring ahead blankly.

Gu Ming did not disturb her.

After a long time, Li Zi spoke, "This story doesn't feel the heartbreaking pain, but somehow I feel it's more sad than that kind of movie."

"This role is challenging!"

"Gu! As expected of you!" Xiao Lizi stretched out his hand, "Wish us success!"

"Wish us success!"

"By the way, your remuneration should be converted into investment shares!" When Gu Ming was writing the script, he calculated carefully and realized that he was still talking nonsense at the beginning. If he really wanted to pay DiCaprio 20 million US dollars in remuneration.

Then doesn’t he also get a director’s salary of 20 million US dollars?
That works out to $40 million.

The cost of "Manchester by the Sea" is not high, but you have to use a royal team, and the other costs are still US$10 million.

This alone is 50 million!
Not to mention the publicity and distribution costs and Olympic competition expenses.

And what was the North American box office of this film in its previous life?

Forty-seven million dollars.

If I were to be paid for the film, it would be difficult to recoup the cost.

It doesn’t matter how much money you make or how much you lose!

The key is that your golden body of making money cannot be broken. This is very important!

Confidence is the most precious thing.

In order to make this film profitable in the end, Gu Ming had no choice but to make this choice.

"Okay, then my Appian Way will also participate in this film as an investor." DiCaprio didn't argue much about this kind of thing. Now all he can think about is performing better and trying to win the Best Actor trophy.

Don’t want to haggle over these little details!
Moreover, when acting in literary films, the leading role is calculated based on the share, which is also a routine practice in Hollywood.

No way, who can say that a film that can win awards is not liked by the majority of the audience?
He could even imagine that the box office of this film would not be too high. After all, who would watch a film that can easily make people depressed?
It took seven days.

Gu Ming formed the team again.

The cost of the film has also been roughly finalized!
Ten million dollars.

Director Gu Ming's remuneration is equivalent to a 40% share, and DiCaprio is also entitled to a 40% share.

After confirming this matter, Gu Ming became a hands-off shopkeeper and returned to his country.

It's a good scene. Let your own team consider who to play the heroine and the second male lead.

With a production cost of 10 million, we can't hire any big names.

They are all little Karami, as long as their acting skills are up to par.

As for acting.

Hollywood lacks everything except actors with acting skills!
What many people lack is not strength, but opportunity!

And also to seize that opportunity successfully!
……

After returning to the capital, Gu Ming went straight to his home.

When he took the baby from Yan Danchen again, he didn't change his mind, but he still recognized him, and smiled at her to make him feel silly.

"Have you arranged the movie with Li Zizi?" Yan Danchen asked while doing recovery exercises.

"Well, the rest will be left to the team. I will just go and film it when the time comes. The focus of this film is to win the Best Actor Award. It is about DiCaprio's performance. I don't have to worry so much!"

"Speaking of which, the children are too young. If one is two or three years old, our family will live there for a few months and treat it as a vacation."

"Wouldn't it be the same if you came back soon?" Yan Danchen smiled and suddenly asked, "Do you think there is a chance to win the Best Actor?" (End of Chapter)
